The story

Truss (TRUSSTECH, Inc.) started in 2022 as a document collection tool for tax preparers and has evolved into an end-to-end AI tax workflow platform for CPA firms — intake, workpapers, AI prep, e-sign, and payments/invoicing at delivery. It sits between clients and existing tax software (CCH Axcess, UltraTax, Lacerte, Drake, etc.) and monetizes the workflow layer rather than the tax engine.
