Problem

During Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) filing seasons (March, May), small tax accounting firms (1-5 employees) are flooded with eligibility verification and filing requests from dozens to hundreds of existing bookkeeping clients simultaneously. Verifying each client's income and asset eligibility takes 20-30 minutes per case, and firms handle the 2-month season through overtime without additional staff. Approximately 10% of clients experience missed filings, leading to customer complaints.

Solution

(1) Upload bookkeeping client lists for batch eligibility pre-screening, (2) Auto-send KakaoTalk notifications to eligible clients, (3) Auto-assemble filing documents after client consent. Core: Batch eligibility determination based on bookkeeping data + client communication automation.

Target: Solo tax accounting offices or small tax firms, 1-5 employees, 50-500 bookkeeping clients
Revenue Model: $149 seasonal pass (up to 100 clients), $0.75 per additional client. $29/month annual subscription.
