I was drowning. So I built Juno.
"I didn't build this because I love AI. I built it because I was tired of double-checking PDFs at midnight. This year, I was able to take my kids on spring break - even though it was peak tax season."
I needed the perfect junior assistant: Juno.
I didn't set out to build a tech company. I just wanted to fix what was broken — for me, and for my team.
As the founder of Golden State Accounting, I'd lived every season of tax firm life: the 14-hour days, the midnight email threads, the weekends lost to manual prep and doc review.
It wasn't just the stress - it was the waste. The double-work. The late-night second-guessing over something as basic as document matching.
Juno started as a hack - a way to catch errors in returns before I hit submit. Then it grew. It started answering client questions. Then drafting returns. I kept shaping it to think like someone who's actually done this work.
I didn't build Juno because I love AI. I built it because I wanted to get home for dinner — and not leave my team behind at their desks. Even at a good firm, the system wasn't working.
Built from the inside out - not the outside in
Most tax tech is built from the outside in — engineers guessing at workflows, software that adds more friction than it solves.
That's not how I work. Every Juno teammate is designed with real practice logic at its core. I still run a firm. I test every update against real deadlines, real client questions, and real team constraints.
I believe AI shouldn't replace professionals — it should finally support them. Let us reclaim our time, do our best work, and get home on time.
Designed By A Tax Pro
I understand the nuances of tax work because I do it. Our tools are designed from challenges I've personally faced with my staff over the past 10 years.
Built To Relieve vs. Replace
Juno is a suite of teammates that I always wished I had: AI-powered tools that provide backup without compromising accuracy or control.
Security I Bet My CPA On
My clients' data is just as sensitive (and protected) as yours. I didn't want to bet my license on AI built by someone else. I built Juno to be secure from the start.
How I Use Juno
At Golden State Accounting, Juno is embedded in our daily operations. In 2025 alone, the team processed over 500 returns using Juno, saving dozens of hours per week and surfacing issues they would have otherwise missed.
Juno handles prep drafts, flags errors, and answers real-time client questions – all inside the same flow the team already uses. I didn't just build this tool – I battle-tested it at my own firm.
