About Dominic Vitucci

Dominic Vitucci is the founder and CEO of Onshore (formerly SPRX Technologies), an AI-native platform that automates corporate tax incentives like R&D tax credits, 179D deductions, and cost segregation studies. He holds degrees in both accounting and computer science from the University of Illinois.

Before founding Onshore in 2020, Vitucci spent approximately five years at Grant Thornton, one of the largest accounting firms in the US. There he experienced firsthand the profession’s resistance to technological change — he was the only employee with a software background across the entire US operation.

  • Founded SPRX Technologies (now Onshore) in 2020 after leaving Grant Thornton
  • Y Combinator Winter 2023 batch
  • Raised $31M Series B in February 2026 (led by FPV Ventures, with Vertex Ventures, ADP Ventures, YC, Restive Ventures)
  • Onshore has helped 500+ companies identify over $600M in tax incentives
  • Targeting $100M revenue in 2026 with 75 employees ($1M+ revenue per employee)

Notable Positions

On Why Accounting Firms Won’t Self-Disrupt

Vitucci argues that the partnership structure of accounting firms creates an asymmetric incentive problem. Senior partners nearing retirement won’t fund AI transformation they’ll never benefit from, while junior staff fear automation will eliminate their jobs. The result is perpetual stagnation disguised as “innovation” — firms buying co-pilot licenses no one uses and awarding automation certificates no one applies.

On Going Direct to Corporations

After two years of selling to accounting firms, Vitucci fired all his firm customers and pivoted to serving corporations directly. His insight: accountants are middlemen, not the customer. The real value flows to the corporation receiving the tax credit, and AI can deliver that outcome without the intermediary.

Key Quotes

  • “Accountants have kind of just wormed their way into the middle and artificially set themselves up to be the middleman, the expert. What if we just didn’t have to have that?” (on disrupting accounting)
  • “I don’t actually think they’ve earned the right to maintain the reverence that they’ve been granted for all of these decades, centuries sometimes.” (on Big Four firms)
  • “Today is the worst they’ll ever be. We’re already at a place where they’re outperforming people at the junior, the mid-level, and certainly kind of touching, if not exceeding the capability of some of your most senior technical experts.” (on AI models)
