Small businesses deserve better
The accounting industry is struggling to keep up with the demands of modern small businesses, further exacerbated by a shrinking pool of experienced professionals.
Tax advisors, who should be strategic partners, are drowning in paperwork. Accountants are too slow to respond when clients need them most. Experts are trapped in outdated systems, unable to provide the guidance small businesses need.
Town is fixing this. We combine dedicated experts with frontier AI to give every small business the same high-quality tax advantages that large corporations enjoy.
Empowering tax experts
While many companies are simply adding AI chatbots to existing systems, we're creating something fundamentally different: a new kind of organization that strengthens human relationships while automating the low-value work that keeps experts from focusing on what matters most – their clients. Here's how:
By focusing on the intersection of human advisors & AI automation, Town is building a new model for professional services, one where technology enhances human capabilities & keeps client service remains at the forefront.
Why tax? Because it’s critical for small businesses
Tax is more than just our starting point; it's the cornerstone of our mission. We've chosen to focus on tax because it's where we can make the biggest impact for small businesses. Over 10 million small businesses grapple with complex tax regulations every year. It's a critical need that demands both human expertise and the efficiency of automation. By perfecting our model in tax, we're not only modernizing an essential service, but also creating a blueprint for how AI-enhanced expertise can transform an entire industry.
