An accounting startup has turned tax preparations into a Pokémon Showdown game

Quick Summary:

Accounting software company Open Ledger has launched a new product in time for tax day.  Meet PokéTax, a game that helps make tax filing quite fun.

Instead of tax forms, users take on Tax Trainers — gym leaders — representing different parts of a tax form, such as income, deduction, and credits.

Adade-Yebesi hopes that by adding fun, such financial processes will be made to feel “more engaging and way less soul-sucking.
