  "description": "Lili is an all-in-one financial platform designed for small businesses and freelancers that combines banking, accounting, and tax preparation tools into a single mobile and web interface. Founded by former neobank executives, it operates as a financial technology company rather than a bank, with banking services provided through a partnership with Choice Financial Group. The platform is specifically tailored to help independent workers automate their expense categorization, invoice clients, and save for tax obligations dynamically.",
