Frequently asked questions about Keeyns

Keeyns is a tax management platform that runs, records and evidences every tax process across your entities, as the work happens, so you can prove exactly what was done, whenever you're asked. It's built for multinational, multi-entity companies whose filing obligations have outgrown the team that owns them.

Tax teams use it to track every filing deadline by entity and jurisdiction, run compliance workflows with in-house staff and external advisors, and keep a full audit trail of what was done, when and by whom. Stichd, for example, runs value-added tax (VAT) compliance across 50+ markets with a two-person tax team.

No. Your team and your advisors still do the tax work and make the judgment calls. Keeyns runs the process around that work. It shows which filings are due for each entity, assigns the tasks, collects documents and approvals, and locks the workflow once a return is done, with a full audit trail.

Yes. You invite advisors into the workflows and workspaces they work on. They upload documents, answer questions and complete tasks inside your process instead of over email. Roles and rights control what each advisor can see, and adding advisors costs nothing extra.

Because the process and its history stay with you, you keep everything if you switch advisors. In the past year, 48 external advisory firms worked with their clients in Keeyns.

Keeyns manages the tax process, not the tax calculation. Compared with spreadsheets and email, every deadline is tracked by entity and jurisdiction, every task has an owner, advisors work inside the process, and every step leaves an audit trail. Most tax software does one specific job. Keeyns sits around those tools.

Tax engines calculate indirect tax. Provision tools prepare tax provisions. Pillar Two tools compute top-up tax. Keeyns covers every tax type (direct, indirect, transfer pricing and payroll) and every entity in one platform, so your team can see what's due, who's doing it, and prove what was done.

Keeyns supports the recurring tax and statutory obligations a multinational tax team manages. That includes direct tax (corporate income tax, withholding tax), indirect tax (VAT, sales and use tax), transfer pricing (Master File, Local File, country-by-country reporting) and payroll taxes. And it isn't limited to those.

Its core strengths are automating repetitive processes, connecting your internal and external teams, and giving you a secure single source of truth for your documents. That's why many customers who start with VAT, sales tax or corporate tax go on to run other monthly, quarterly and annual processes in Keeyns, from annual reports to provisional tax payments.

Keeyns covers any country, including individual US states. Statutory deadlines are preloaded for selected processes, such as EU VAT returns, and most customers set their own internal deadlines ahead of those dates. You build a process once and apply it across every jurisdiction, each with its own dates and filing frequency.

For example, a monthly VAT return in the Netherlands and a quarterly VAT return in France can follow the same workflow, each with its own deadlines.

Not directly. Keeyns doesn't connect to SAP, Oracle or NetSuite. It does integrate with Microsoft 365, so your team can open, edit and co-author Word and Excel files inside a workflow, and every change stays in the audit trail. Your ERP stays the source of the numbers. Keeyns is where the work on them gets tracked and evidenced.
