About FlyFin

FlyFin targets freelancers and self-employed individuals with an AI-powered tax preparation platform that automatically identifies deductions from bank and credit card transaction data. The platform connects to financial accounts, analyzes spending patterns, and categorizes transactions as potential business deductions — a process that self-employed workers typically handle manually or ignore entirely, leaving money on the table. FlyFin's AI tracks deductions in real time throughout the year rather than scrambling at filing time, providing an ongoing estimate of tax liability and potential savings. The platform includes access to CPA review for filed returns, adding a professional verification layer to the AI's work. For the growing population of gig workers, contractors, and freelancers who lack the accounting infrastructure of traditional businesses, FlyFin provides an accessible entry point to professional tax optimization. The paid pricing is competitive with traditional tax preparation, and the year-round deduction tracking provides value beyond the filing event itself. The limitation is scope — FlyFin is narrowly focused on self-employment tax and is not suitable for businesses with employees, complex entity structures, or non-US filing requirements.
