Every tax professional knows the feeling. Monday morning. Another week of manual reconciliations. Another month-end approaching. Another year where 70% of your talent is wasted on work that should be automated.
You became a tax professional to protect value, manage risk, be a strategic partner. Instead, you’re stuck on what we call the Tax Treadmill—running faster and faster just to stay in the same place.
We know because we lived it.
Andrew Danckert leaves PwC after watching brilliant tax minds waste their careers on manual work. He starts Cumulus Tax consulting, not to build software, but to understand why tax teams are trapped.
It’s not a skills problem. It’s not an effort problem. It’s a system problem.
The tools built for tax professionals weren’t built by tax professionals. They were built by people who never felt the Sunday night dread of an approaching deadline. Never experienced the frustration of explaining numbers you can’t trace. Never watched talented team members leave because they were tired of being human calculators.
Jim Edwards joins from EY. Same story, different Big Four firm. Together, they work with 20+ enterprises, mapping every painful step of the tax compliance journey.
A radical idea emerges: What if we could trace every tax number back to its source? Not just to a schedule, but to the actual transaction in the general ledger? Six brave companies join the movement. The benefits are clear. Zero leave.
We’re not building software. We’re building a future where tax professionals become what they were meant to be: Value Protectors.
Protectors who:
Our tribe is tax professionals who still believe.Who believe their work should matter. Who believe technology should liberate, not complicate. Who believe transparency builds trust.
Yes, we built something revolutionary. GL-level automation that achieves what others can’t. Complete transparency from disclosure to source. Parallel-run validation that proves it works before you switch.But technology isn’t our differentiator.
Our differentiator is that we’ve been you.
We’ve lived the late nights. We’ve felt the frustration. We’ve experienced the gap between what tax work is and what it should be.Every feature exists because a tax professional needed it. Every automation frees a human to do human work. Every transparency tool helps you tell the story behind the numbers.
We don’t promise easy. Transformation never is. We promise that every tax team that joins us moves from the treadmill to solid ground. From processor to protector. From cost center to value creator.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably on the treadmill.
You have two choices
We can’t make that choice for you.
But if you choose transformation, we’ll be your guides. Not because we’re vendors, but because we’re fellow travelers who found abetter path.
