Visor

Visor is your new personal tax advisor. U.S. taxes are complicated and managing this can save you a significant amount of money in the long term. We saw an industry where finding an accountant means searching on yelp, paying a high hourly rate and not having access to year-round advice when you can actually use it! Those filing for themselves often struggle to know if they’re missing out on savings or how to respond to the IRS if they make a mistake. Visor is a hybrid approach. We are a full service personal tax firm with 40+ tax advisors based in Atlanta, Georgia that use our technology. We take a lot of boring, inefficient work out of the process for them (such as emails and data entry). So that they can focus on working with customers directly. These efficiencies lets us give you access to an accountant anytime you have a financial decision, instead of just at tax time for a flat annual fee. Today we're announcing we've raised $6.5M from Obvious Ventures, Social Capital, Lux Capital, Box Group and more.

DO NOT USE THEM. They're useless. No customer service. Sporadic communication with no substance about when the work will be done. Took money upfront and have provided me with no filing. I've also gotten no update about whether they've filed for an extension. Any purported savings you're going to get are worthless if the services are never rendered.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

DO NOT USE THEM.

Congrats on launching! Love the landing page and messaging. A lot of my friends struggle with startup stock options. Vesting period, early exercise, strike price 409A. All of these concepts are very confusing and online information + internal company comms can often be difficult to parse. Do you offer tax advice to help startup employees think through when/how much to exercise and the tax consequences?

Horrible product! Run away! Made several mistakes in my tax filling.

Pros:

If everything goes well, it is good

Cons:

Horrible service. Made several errors. Don't recommend.

They quoted me $549 for an MBA tax deduction then took over a year to complete the taxes, then charged me $799 and mach a bunch of mistakes. This is a complete scam.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Quote one price then charge another, make a lot of mistakes, not responsive, take many months to complete taxes, rude staff

I can't think of any other way to handle my taxes.

Pros:

Great solution to a real problem

Cons:

Can't think of any con

@brackin This looks beautiful, I can’t wait to try it out
