The story

Founded in 2008 as a small licensed tax preparation firm in Fremont, CA, targeting underserved communities including immigrants and lower-income individuals. The firm remained a traditional in-person tax prep business for many years before expanding to a second Bay Area office. In 2024, Manjas made its most significant technology pivot by embedding Column Tax's DIY filing software into its service offering, positioning itself as the first US tax firm to white-label this IRS-approved e-filing product — shifting from purely advisor-led prep to a hybrid advisory-plus-self-serve model.
