About SPRX

SPRX is a technology company that is changing the tax consulting industry. We have developed artificial intelligence software that automates many of the tasks performed by tax consultants. This gets much more exciting when you consider that tax consultants earn more than $10 Billion in fees each year. That's a market worth transforming!

What is tax consulting? Good question. Tax consultants are tax experts that analyze one or two numbers that go on a company's tax return. For example, the R&D tax credit. The rules for the R&D tax credit are very complex and most accountants do not have the expertise to compute the credit. So a company will hire a tax expert to compute the R&D tax credit for the company. That's tax consulting.

Technology

Tax consultants perform their analysis in spreadsheets. This is a slow, inefficient process.

SPRX has developed artificial intelligence tools that speed up the process and improve quality. We have automated the data gathering process, the prediction process, and the report generation process. We automate the repeatable, mundane, low value tasks so the tax consultants can focus their time on high value analysis tasks.
