Town Raises $18M to Make Taxes Painless for Small Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. They create jobs, drive innovation, and keep wealth in local communities. But let’s be honest—the system is not in their favor.

Meanwhile, small businesses face declining service quality, largely due to a growing shortage of qualified professionals. At best, the relationship is impersonal and transactional; at worst, it can range from careless tax preparation that overlooks obvious savings to preparers completely disappearing weeks before taxes are due.

Introducing Town: your small business tax department

• Dedicated advisors that act like colleagues, not vendors

• Tax-tuned AI automation that eliminates mind-numbing (and expensive) busywork — from data collection to finding the most relevant deductions for every kind of business

• Flat-fee pricing that bucks the industry norm of inflated hourly billing

No more last-minute scrambling. We connect directly to your books, your bank, and the key systems you use to run your company. Your advisor works with you year-round to stay ahead. Flat-fee pricing means no surprises—just smart, proactive tax strategy at a price small businesses can afford.

Early momentum and funding to serve more small businesses

Just two months after starting to onboard customers, Town are already helping hundreds of businesses prepare their FY 2024 taxes, showing them what having real tax support—not just tax prep—feels like.

They have partnered with leading vertical SaaS providers, fintech platforms, and accounting services to bring embedded business tax prep to where entrepreneurs already work. Our partnerships include one of the largest SMB bookkeepers in the US and a leading bank serving SMBs. Together Town are providing the kind of end-to-end financial services that big businesses take for granted.
