Profile

The company was founded in 1992 by Edmontonians Bruce Johnson and Chad Frederick, two University of Alberta graduates. Bruce, a computer programmer, and Chad, an accountant, decided to build a tax preparation product called WINTAX - Canada's first Windows-based personal tax preparation software. In 1993, they agreed to be acquired by Chipsoft, manufacturer of the U.S. personal income tax software TurboTax. Chipsoft in turn was acquired by Intuit Inc..
