Our leaders play a pivotal role in shaping, promoting, and maintaining our company culture by embodying our values and motivating our teams to contribute to our ongoing mission. Despite significant growth, our leaders have ensured that as we scale up, our culture remains intact by emphasizing the importance of our core values in every aspect of our operations. They encourage open communication, provide opportunities for cross-functional collaboration, and prioritize employee well-being and growth.   We hire experts across various domains—from tax analysts and AI specialists to engineers, product designers, and Go-To-Market strategists and we must provide the space and autonomy to innovate, we ensure that each team member can do their best work. In our B2B2C model, the complexity of operations requires a meticulously designed system to allow teams to focus on the key stakeholder groups, and our leaders are committed to ruthlessly prioritizing work to maintain efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring that every project aligns with our core values and advances our mission to transform how Americans manage their taxes.

Recognizing and rewarding employee achievements is a key component of our company culture. We have a vibrant and active Kudos Slack channel where any team member can post a shout-out to their colleagues. These posts not only highlight the specific achievements but also tag the company values that were exemplified in their actions. This public acknowledgment allows employees at all levels to be recognized for their dedication and hard work.  Transparency goes beyond sharing the state of the union with employees but is also leverage to celebrate our teams during our monthly All Hands meetings. This platform amplifies the recognition, giving company-wide visibility to individual contributions and fostering a culture of appreciation and motivation across the organization.  To bridge the gap between remote and in-person team members, we provide remote employees with Uber gift certificates and Goldbelly credits to ensure that our remote employees feel equally celebrated and included in company milestones. This gesture allows them to join in the celebrations and enjoy meals or experiences that mirror the festivities happening in our offices, creating a sense of unity and shared celebration, regardless of location.  These practices at april ensure that achievements are not only recognized but also rewarded in a way that fosters inclusivity and maintains high morale among all employees.
