“Before we had K1x, we relied on huge spreadsheets to prepare our tax-exempt returns. We needed to find a way to make tax prep more efficient on our exempt side. Now it’s easy to set up new entities, gather and store information, prepare returns, and manage the entire tax-exempt return process.”

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 24, 2023

K1x, the leading data distribution platform for alternative investments, today announced new executive staff, record-breaking customer growth, and strengthened market leadership with new product innovation.

New employees and key hires:
In addition to hiring more than 20 new employees in Q4 of 2022 in product, engineering, customer success and other areas, the company brought on Ken Powell as Chief Revenue Officer and Scott Turner as SVP Marketing to round out their management team. “As they struggle to meet the needs of investors and the IRS, today’s tax and compliance professionals face a perfect storm of changing regulatory demands, historic staffing constraints, skyrocketing volumes of tax forms, and ineffective spreadsheets. Only K1x can help them streamline and automate away the pain of producing, receiving, and filing 990s, K-1s, and related forms”, said Ken Powell.

Scott Turner, SVP Marketing added, “K1x accelerates the last mile of the alternative investment data exchange. Our industry-leading platform frees advisors from tedious, manual data entry, unleashing their talent towards high-value strategy work that benefits investors with timely and transparent information. This remarkable technology not only gives nights and weekends back to advisors, it also gives investors in alternative assets more timely and accurate estimates of tax liability and a view of their after-tax ROI.”

New Product Innovation:
In Q4 of 2022, K1x released K-1 Navigator. Perfect for private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, REITs, professional services firms, and other K-1 producers, K-1 Navigator streamlines the IRS Schedule K-1 production process by automating preparation, streamlining analysis, and delivering the only truly digital PDF K-1 experience. K-1 Navigator provides user-friendly workflows for seamless investor demographic collection and K-1 production and distribution. It also provides tax logic and automated investor data collection and a time-saving footnote library with integrations to popular e-filing software.

Scott Schitter, VP of Tax at Bon Secours Mercy Health said, “Before we had K1x, we relied on huge spreadsheets to prepare our tax-exempt returns. We needed to find a way to make tax prep more efficient on our exempt side. Now it’s easy to set up new entities, gather and store information, prepare returns, and manage the entire tax-exempt return preparation process. Everybody on our team enjoys the K1x solution. I don’t know how people track all their investments without K1x. It’s made our whole process so much more efficient and it’s great that K1x has exempt experts on staff.”
