About us

We built Keeyns to give tax teams total confidence.

Born from our own frustrations with manual processes and inefficiencies, we wanted to solve the problems that kept us up at night.

And we keep developing the team and our platform, because we envision a future where tax isn’t a burden, but a foundation for smarter decisions and strategic, sustainable and ethical growth.

Behind (the) Keeyns

Our team brings deep expertise across tax, technology, and business operations. Many of us have worked in tax roles, advisory firms, or built systems. Today, we combine that knowledge to solve the real problems for tax teams. 
Our founders

Ruben and Ramon saw an opportunity to combine genuine, deep industry expertise with technology to give their fellow tax professionals a better way to run their tax processes.

They wanted to put an end to the archaic ways of working, the wasted spend on knowledge loss, stress caused by staff churn and the high spend on advisory costs to build a team. 

They longed for a better solution – so we built it.

Customer Success

From the moment a new customer starts with Keeyns, our Customer Success team translates their goals, expectations, and use cases into a clear onboarding plan, ensuring the time-to-value of Keeyns is as quick as possible.

Additionally, they act as our customers trusted contact, proactively monitoring adoption, spot risks early, and helping customers get more out of the platform as their tax operations evolve.

Just as importantly, they act as the voice inside Keeyns — feeding customer feedback and insights back into Product, Sales, and Marketing — so the platform continues to improve based on what actually matters to our clients.

Here to ensure you get the most out of our powerful software solutions.

Product Development

Product & Development at Keeyns work hand-in-hand to turn real tax problems into a secure, scalable platform our customers can rely on.

The Product team owns the why and the what: understanding customer needs, setting the product vision, and deciding which problems to solve next. They sit at the centre of Keeyns, connecting insights from Customer Success, Sales, Marketing and the Development team to shape a clear roadmap. The Development team owns the how: building, testing, and operating the platform with a relentless focus on quality, security, and performance.

Together, they ensure the Keeyns platform evolves deliberately — delivering the right capabilities at the right time, without compromising trust or reliability.
