Built for finance and ops teams

1099 compliance that
runs itself.

Connect your spend data, flag who needs a W-9, collect the forms, and file 1099s — without the January scramble.

The problem

W-9s are an afterthought — until they're an emergency.

Most companies don't think about 1099s until Q4. By then, vendors have moved, emails bounce, and the IRS deadline doesn't care.

  • No idea which vendors crossed the $600 threshold
  • W-9s scattered across email threads and shared drives
  • Manual data entry errors cause TIN mismatches with the IRS
  • $310/form penalties for late or incorrect filings
