Finch has launched the beta version of its Documents API, offering an innovative, programmatic way to access and standardize employment data, starting with W-4 federal tax withholding forms. This API aims to automate the delivery of W-4 data from employers' payroll systems to various applications, facilitating use cases in health benefits, retirement, tax, accounting, and lending. By employing machine-learning-based document parsing, Finch provides a standardized and secure data flow, reducing manual processing and the risk of errors. The API features a user-friendly interface, allowing developers to easily integrate it within Finch's ecosystem, and offers a seamless onboarding process for employers via Finch Connect. As Finch prioritizes data integrity and security, the API complies with standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, CCPA, and GDPR, ensuring that sensitive information is handled with care. Finch plans to expand the API's capabilities to include additional forms such as W-2s and Form 941 in the future.
