Overview
Filed offers an AI-powered tax preparation platform for accounting firms. The system acts as a tax preparer that accelerates the preparation process by handling repetitive, real-world tax scenarios, designed to augment tax professionals rather than replace their judgment. It helps firms scale by reducing turnaround times—claims during the 2025 tax season that returns could be processed overnight rather than over a full week without additional staff. The company targets CPAs and tax professionals, focusing on leveraging technology to increase efficiency and capacity during busy tax seasons. Led by CEO Leroy Kerry, with founding CPAs Kevin Lee and Hannah Jones Gabell, Filed centers on practical, profession-driven tax workflow automation.
