Our story

Behind Keeper is a small team with a big vision: to help more Americans access the tax breaks they deserve.

Every year, around 40 million Americans overpay on their taxes by an average of $1,249. We call this phenomenon The Freelance Tax Tragedy, and Keeper exists to put an end to it.

To do this, we’ve redesigned tax filing software from the ground up around personalization, intelligence, and impeccable user experience. Our automatic write-off identification technology allows people to simply connect a financial account, wait 45 seconds, and watch as hundreds of dollars get added to their tax refunds.

By redesigning tax software from the ground up, we have the tools to give The Freelance Tax Tragedy a happy ending — one where 40 million Americans can sleep soundly and even flourish in today's economy, knowing more of their hard-earned money is theirs to keep.

Fantastic product. Keeper looked for any and all tax benefit, some of which I didn't know existed. The tax law is so complicated and Keeper is the best. Literally saved us thousands of dollars.

Keeper is extremely user friendly. Also, there are a lot of great articles explaining what you can and cannot write off on your taxes if you are a freelancer. The app prompts you frequently to add deductions and stay on top of your finances.
