For decades, tax firms have worked the same way. Spreadsheets passed around like secrets, PDFs renamed a dozen times, and portals that feel older than the tax code itself. Every time a document moves, context disappears. So the questions start over. Again and again. We call this the stupid question problem — firms that keep asking for things they already have, because it’s easier to bother you than to dig through their antiquated stack.

We built Rivet to make that impossible. Our own in-house platform, designed from the ground up to fix everything broken about traditional tax prep. Every file, every Slack message, every deadline lives in one place, powered by real automation and a team of ex–Big Four accountants who treat your tax return like a product, not paperwork.

Rivet is far and away the best firm I've ever worked with. Their staff is amazing, and their responsiveness cannot be matched. I've recommended many people to Rivet already, and each has said the same thing: "This group is the best."

Kurtis Hanni

Kurtis Hanni

CFO

Responsiveness and reliability! Most accountants don’t answer your questions for weeks, and try to avoid being helpful to save time. Rivet felt like the opposite. They went above and beyond.

Vibhav Joopelli

Vibhav Joopelli

Founder & CEO

I wanted a tax firm that could handle things quickly, accurately, and with zero hassle, and Rivet delivered on all fronts. Their speed and responsiveness set them apart—no one comes close.

Diego Zaks

Diego Zaks

VP of Design

Most tax firms I came across were hyper disconnected from their clients. It felt like I was just another number to them. Rivet's been seamless. Especially with their updated dashboard - now, I can just go in and drop in the docs I have, and I'm all set.

I wish we had used Rivet from day one. Was impressive to see their degree of competence in knowing what they knew, what they didn't, learning quickly, and guiding us through our work in our final stages.
