We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - An active CPA license and a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, plus 8+ years of progressive tax and accounting experience spanning Big Four public accounting and in-house industry roles - Deep technical command of ASC 740 tax provision, multi-state corporate income tax, and US sales and use tax compliance - Strong working knowledge of global indirect tax (VAT, GST, digital services taxes) for SaaS or digital products sold internationally - A builder's mindset: you've created tax processes, controls, and documentation from scratch and managed external advisors to get leverage - The range to operate both strategically and hands-on with limited oversight, translating complex tax issues clearly for non-tax partners, paired with genuine excitement for AI tools and a track record of automating manual work - A Master's in Taxation, experience with tax technology platforms like Anrok, Avalara, or Vertex, transfer pricing or international structuring experience, or time at a high-growth SaaS or AI company (Nice to have) COMPENSATION RANGE: The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $190K - $240K plus benefits & equity.
