Overview

MainStreet helps businesses find and claim tax credits to save money. Using its own AI technology, the company searches through more than 200 tax credits to identify the ones that fit a client's needs. Once a business qualifies for these credits, MainStreet manages the entire claiming process, which saves the business time and effort. The company charges a fee for its services and has a team of experts, including Certified Public Accountants and tax specialists, to ensure compliance with IRS guidelines. MainStreet stands out from competitors by having a strong record of accuracy, with no clients audited after using their services. The goal of MainStreet is to allow businesses to focus on their growth while they take care of the tax credit process.
