You hate taxes. We love ‘em.
Isn’t that a happy coincidence? So, who are we and why should you let us do your taxes?
Let us start by telling you who we are not– your father’s CPA. While I bet your father’s CPA is great at what she does, I bet she doesn’t get the intricacies involved with start up life.
But we do. We do more with less by giving small companies the support larger firms are accustomed to because we replaced the traditional CPA firm with our proprietary world-class process and talent that fits the 21st-century digital office. So what does that mean? It’s all in the ABCs of heyApril:
Affordable
With prices starting at just $400/mo. for our essential accounting package, you will be hard pressed to find a more affordable option. Looking for more advanced services? No worries, those are priced well too, giving you a peace of mind!
Bespoke
Our solutions are tailor-made to what you need! Need accounting, tax advice, a fractional CFO or anything in between? We’ve got you covered with a customizable package that is suitable for your thriving company!
Consultative
We’re more than accountants, we’re business partners. We care about every client’s success as if it were our own– providing advice and making proactive recommendations to optimize your strategy whenever possible!
We speak founder.
You’re digitally native, and so are we.
We know you don’t have time to submit a question form or spend hours on the phone, so we talk to you via the tools you use every day: Slack, text, email, and live chat. Plus, we’ll speak your language – no financial jargon here.
Wherever you are on your journey, bootstrapping, Series A or Series B, we’re here to simplify your taxes – saving you precious time and money. No bots, no automated replies. We are human, 100%.
We’ve been there.
heyApril is a digital accounting firm focused on providing start ups and small businesses with the same services with which large firms are accustomed.
When Argel was working in audit and tax planning and Deloitte, he noticed how much help large corporations were able to get from outside vendors and consultants. He realized it was unfair to smaller companies and left Deloitte to solve this problem. He first tried to automate the accounting process through an app called Levee but quickly realized that so much of the benefits that large firms saw was due to the human oversight provided by seasoned tax advisors. He shifted gears and began focusing on providing smaller companies with the high quality service that he was used to in Big-4 accounting.
From this, heyApril was born. Over the past 4 years it has grown and now serves as the consultative accounting firm for startups across all industries and around the country.
Making tax season a little less painful.
We’re more than bookkeepers – we’re a team of consultative accountants. We work with your startup year-round to proactively plan for tax day. Instead of just jumping in during the month of April, we ensure you stay on top of your taxes every month, saving you as much as possible in the process.
By looking at the big picture and staying actively involved, we’re able to provide insights and advice based on your financials, industry trends and changes to tax laws. All that is to say, we make sure there are no surprises come April.
Here’s how we do it:
Tax-centric bookkeeping
Traditional bookkeeping categorizes transactions based on your input. We guide you on how to structure your transactions to save on taxes.
Tax-planned payroll
Traditional payroll providers process payroll on a schedule. We guide you on when to accelerate payroll deductions.
Tax-enhanced cash flows
Traditional invoicing providers pay and collect invoices as they come in. We guide you on the timing to delay or eliminate paying taxes.
Tax-optimized financial model
Traditional financial models exclude tax impact. We guide you to the tax events leading up to your exit to minimize your capital gains tax.
Tax planning and compliance
Traditional tax services work with you once a year. We proactively find ways to eliminate your taxes while keeping audit risks in mind.
