Tax prep has improved. Filing software has improved. But the work after filing is still messy. Someone has to initiate the payment, route it to the right agency, confirm it arrived, and reconcile it back to the return. At many firms, that still happens across bank portals, government sites, PDFs, and follow-up. It is manual. It is error-prone. And it lives in the part of the workflow where mistakes are costly.
An overlooked market
That gap matters because much of the tax software market still stops at filing. Remitian is building the payment layer: a platform that automates scheduling, routing, tracking, and confirmation, and increasingly lets firms and software providers connect filing workflows directly to payment through its API. It is a deceptively important wedge. Advances in AI make more of this workflow automatable, firms are under hiring and regulatory pressure, and the cost of getting payments wrong is real.
A founder with workflow truth
We were drawn to Remitian because the insight came from inside the profession. Solon Angel has spent much of his career building for the accounting ecosystem and understood early that firms spend too much time on repetitive administrative work they cannot bill for and clients do not value. Remitian’s roots are equally telling: the first version was developed with CPA firms that needed a secure, reliable way to manage tax payments across clients. In working with the team, we have seen a rare mix of domain fluency and execution speed
N49P and Remitian
We invested for three reasons. First, the problem is real and still underbuilt. Second, the team has lived the workflow deeply enough to solve it with credibility. Third, the product has the potential to become infrastructure, not just a feature, in a part of accounting software that has been consistently overlooked.
The early signals reinforce that view. Remitian is announcing it raised $7 million to expand across North America and develop its public API. Aprio, a top 25 CPA firm, is already working closely enough with the company that its CEO, Richard Kopelman, joined the board. And the investor group includes a meaningful concentration of accounting and fintech operators, which usually tells you something important: this is not an invented problem.
