Built by freelancers,
for freelancers.
We understand the pain of tax filing because we've lived it. We're on a mission to make it effortless.
Our mission
Independent work is the future of the economy, but the financial tools haven't caught up. We believe that managing your taxes shouldn't require a degree in accounting or hundreds of dollars in fees.
Our mission is to make tax filing simple, fair, and accessible for every independent worker, creator, and freelancer.
Why we built Chedr
After years of using legacy tax software that felt like it was actively working against us—hiding forms behind paywalls and using confusing jargon—we decided enough was enough.
We built Chedr to be the tool we wished we had: transparent, lightning-fast, and designed specifically for the modern independent workforce.
