Ascen Tax USA
Secure US tax filing, prepared by licensed professionals.
A digital tax preparation and e-filing platform for individuals and businesses. Upload documents, review a complete draft return, approve it, and a licensed preparer files it.
Product portfolio
Four products. Each one independent.
Ascen Tax USA is developed and owned by Ascendum Corporate Advisory LLC. AscenPay, AscenAI and AscenMark are separate, independent products in the same portfolio — each has its own website, sign-in, subscription and data. Using one product never creates an account in another, and data is not shared between them without your explicit instruction.
Side by side
AscenPay
Multi-company, multi-state payroll.
An independent payroll platform for businesses running payroll across multiple entities and states, with federal and state withholding, filings and reconciliation in one place.
AscenAI
The AI accounting product.
An independent AI accounting product: cloud accounting that codes your bank feed for you. Connect bank and card accounts, AI categorises every transaction into a real double-entry ledger, and the income statement and balance sheet are ready the same minute.
AscenMark
The global brand hub for trademarks.
An independent global brand hub for protecting names, logos and brands. Search, apply for and manage trademark registrations across countries and regions from one place, instead of navigating each national trademark office separately.
