Name your roleOur mission: Build a more equitable financial world
The world today:
“The hardest thing in the world to understand is income taxes” - Albert Einstein
In today’s world, Americans at lower income levels are disproportionately hurt by a complicated tax system and current product offerings. High-net-worth individuals have teams of accountants and lawyers to help them navigate and avoid taxes. In the same country, 3/4 of Americans don’t have access to any financial or tax advice and are forced to wade into the complex world of taxes with inadequate support.
The advice given to most Americans (who can’t afford to hire a CPA or pay for high-end tax products) is, at best, lacking and, at worst, predatory. We live in a country where access to potentially life-changing tax advice is limited based on your income. It’s not right.
Who are we?
The taxpayers we serve represent a diverse slice of the USA - and so do we. If you share an excitement for improving the financial well-being of all Americans, you’ll be right at home at Column Tax!

Everyone makes mistakes - and at Column Tax, we are no different. On our team, a mistake is seen as an opportunity to grow. If there is an incident, we have a system of creating an incident report, having a blameless post-mortem, and setting up safeguards so we don’t make the same mistake again.
How we’re building a better way
At Column Tax, we are building a better experience for every American that relies on their tax refund.
Our go-to-market is what has made Column Tax so impactful. Via partnerships with companies like Propel, we’ve helped claim $10s of millions in refunds for people who people who hadn’t filed in past years. We have lots of work in the years ahead to build off this impact and traction!
