## About

Byron is a San Francisco-based company providing AI-driven solutions to optimize tax preparation processes for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Its innovative tools enhance efficiency and accuracy in navigating complex tax workflows.
Byron was founded in 2025 by Blaze O'Byrne and Wilm Kranz in San Francisco, US, focusing on automating tax preparation for CPAs. The company has recently raised USD 6.5 mn in Seed funding on May 27, 2026, led by Square Peg and supported by investors including Sorenson Capital, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Correlation Ventures. 
Byron offers a comprehensive suite of AI-driven solutions designed to streamline the business tax preparation process for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Central to its offerings is a purpose-built AI agent that automates various tasks including document organization, creation of workpapers, and preparation of tax returns. By integrating seamlessly with leading accounting platforms like Canopy and Truss, Byron enhances the efficiency of tax workflows, enabling CPAs to manage tasks such as building PBC requests, handling partnership allocations, and processing K-1 forms. The company serves a diverse client base primarily composed of accounting firms operating in the United States, where these solutions are tailored to meet the complex demands of tax professionals dealing with federal and state regulations. Byron's products are designed to alleviate the manual workload that tax teams face, ultimately facilitating a more efficient and accurate tax preparation process.
Byron's revenue model is structured around providing subscription-based access to its suite of AI-driven tools, specifically designed for CPAs and accounting firms. Clients typically enter into annual agreements that grant them access to the platform’s features, such as document processing and tax return automation capabilities. Each subscription tier is tailored to accommodate varying levels of service, which allows firms to select options that best suit their operational needs. By facilitating a workflow that enhances productivity and reduces the time spent on manual tasks, Byron provides significant value to its clients, contributing to the overall efficiency of their tax preparation processes.
In the wake of its recent USD 6.5 mn funding round completed on May 27, 2026, Byron plans to further develop its artificial intelligence platform aimed at automating tax preparation workflows for CPA firms. The company is set to explore new market opportunities, although specific geographic regions have not been disclosed.
