Tax Consultant

Tax Consultant – SaaS Sales Tax & Tax Provision

Overview

Join a growing SaaS technology organization as a hands-on Tax Consultant supporting a high-impact sales tax remediation and year-end tax initiative. This fully remote consulting engagement will initially focus on investigating and remediating historical U.S. sales and use tax exposure across multiple states, including economic nexus, SaaS taxability, registrations, filings, reconciliations, and supporting documentation.

As the engagement progresses, you will transition into direct tax responsibilities, including year-end tax provision preparation and audit support. The ideal candidate is an independent, execution-focused tax professional who can analyze detailed transaction data, collaborate with General Ledger and Revenue teams, and develop practical solutions with minimal oversight.
