šÆ Our mission
Our mission at Column Tax is to democratize access to financial helpĀ and meaningfully improve peopleās lives. Today, high net worth individuals in the United States have teams of accountants and lawyers to help themĀ avoid taxes, while in the same country,Ā 3/4 of AmericansĀ donāt have access toĀ anyĀ financial or tax advice. Over 100M adults in the US report that they would not have the funds to cover a $1,000 emergency bill.
Itās not right. And Column Tax is fixing it.
