Reconcile
Connect to banks, generate tax estimates, and get automated notifications for a seamless tax filing process.
What is Reconcile?
Reconcile is a tax preparation tool that connects directly to your bank accounts to automatically gather financial data for tax filing. It analyses your transactions, generates tax estimates, and sends you notifications about important deadlines and filing requirements. The tool aims to simplify the tax process by reducing manual data entry and helping you understand your tax position throughout the year rather than just at filing time. It's designed for freelancers, self-employed people, and small business owners who need to track income and expenses for tax purposes.
