Tax Genie is an application service provider (ASP) floated by a team of fintech experts from India, the US, Germany, and the UK. We have employed artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), process automation, taxation knowledge, and express filing technology to make the GST compliance process easy and timely. We believe tax experts and businesses must not spend their valuable time on number crunching, tabulation, and visual analytics, and rather use our platform and services to do it for them. It is more accurate, faster, and cheaper that way. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will benefit a lot from our distributed processing model and slow internet-friendly programming.
