Freelance Citizen App Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Mission Keeper is an AI-powered human-in-the-loop service that replicates the experience of having a dedicated accountant. Our goal is to give everyone access to an accountant who knows the user's tax situation really well and provides advice specific to their situation. We focus on a number of different tax complexities, and of those complexities, freelancers are one of our biggest customer bases. For freelancers, it's complicated to figure out which types of deductions are acceptable to the IRS. We have customizations for hundreds of different types of jobs, personalizing our tax prep for every type of freelancer. Beyond 1099 income, we support late filing, extensions, amendments, and S corps, and are continuously pushing ourselves to handle the tax scenarios that are most important to our users.

Users love our product! We have 20,000 4.8-star reviews across the App Store, Play Store, and Trustpilot.

• Keeper is THE BEST investment I’ve made EVER!! It took all the worry and confusion out of my first schedule C process and I couldn’t be more happy. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the time Keeper just saved me This was the BEST tax experience I have ever had.
• I opened my own business this year but I had other 1099 from side hustles which made my tax process more complicated then normal. But their app made everything so easy to understand, it organised my books, it sent my tax files for free it was SO SIMPLE. This year I was inundated with forms. Freelance, dog-walking, two W-2 jobs and then some. Other tax apps couldn’t seem to keep up. I was skeptical at first, but this app is literally a godsend. It did all the thinking for me.

• Partner mode: We want to enable our married users to separately categorize deductions for each of their businesses. We've found that a number of couples both use Keeper, but right now our product is optimized for the case where only one partner is a freelancer.
• Rental property support: We want to enable Airbnb hosts to categorize rental property deductions. Right now, we support this situation by manually collecting information from users through email. We want to build native support into the product (1) so users can self-serve and (2) to lessen our operations burden.
• Chat reactions: Our chat function includes both AI and human responses - AI if the AI can confidently handle it, and human if the question exceeds the AI's capabilities. To get feedback on how users feel about AI (and non-AI) responses, we want to build a reactions feature in chat.
