Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As the inaugural Head of Tax at Every.io, you will be instrumental in shaping and scaling our tax function from its foundational stages. This pivotal role offers a unique opportunity to build a comprehensive tax strategy and compliance framework within a rapidly growing Series A fintech startup. You will be the primary owner of all tax-related matters, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and strategic alignment with our business objectives.
• Your responsibilities will encompass a broad spectrum of tax domains, including federal and multi-state corporate income tax compliance. This involves meticulously managing all aspects of filings, ensuring adherence to regulations across various jurisdictions as Every.io expands its operational footprint.
• A key aspect of this role will be the strategic oversight of State and Local Tax (SALT) matters. You will be responsible for identifying and managing nexus obligations, franchise taxes, and all annual filing requirements, proactively addressing complexities as the company grows and enters new markets.
• You will design and administer a robust equity tax strategy, covering critical areas such as Incentive Stock Options (ISOs), Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs), and Section 83(b) elections. This requires a deep understanding of the tax implications for both the company and its employees, ensuring compliance and optimizing outcomes.
• A significant focus will be placed on maximizing and defending Research and Development (R&D) tax credits. You will collaborate closely with our Engineering team to identify eligible activities and ensure we are leveraging these valuable credits to their fullest potential, while also preparing to defend them in case of audit.
• Furthermore, you will evaluate our exposure to sales and use tax, developing and implementing effective compliance workflows to mitigate risks and ensure accurate collection and remittance across all relevant jurisdictions.
• Beyond compliance, you will be tasked with building scalable systems and processes that will support our tax operations as the company continues its rapid growth trajectory. This includes establishing comprehensive tax processes, developing detailed calendars, and creating efficient workflows from the ground up.
• You will be responsible for building strong internal controls and documentation to ensure audit readiness, providing a solid foundation for financial integrity and transparency.
• Where external expertise is required, you will select and manage external tax advisors, ensuring they align with our strategic goals and provide high-value support.
• A critical component of this role is setting up the appropriate technology stack to support our tax operations, leveraging modern tools to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
• You will serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and the broader leadership team, proactively flagging the tax implications of key business decisions, including hiring strategies, geographical expansion, and new product launches.
• You will play a crucial role in supporting fundraising efforts and investor diligence, providing clear and accurate tax information.
• A core competency will be your ability to translate complex tax concepts into clear, actionable business guidance for non-technical executives, enabling informed decision-making.
• The ideal candidate possesses a builder mentality, demonstrating a hands-on approach and comfort with being the first dedicated tax hire. You should exhibit sound judgment in ambiguous environments, capable of making informed decisions even with incomplete information.
• Success in this role within 12-18 months will be measured by the delivery of clean, on-time tax filings across all jurisdictions, the establishment of a clear nexus and expansion strategy, optimized R&D credit utilization, the implementation of scalable tax processes and systems, and the successful hiring and development of 1-3 team members.
• This is a unique opportunity to build a tax function from the ground up at a high-growth Series A startup, reporting directly to the CEO and partnering closely with experienced leaders in Accounting, Engineering, and Product to build best-in-class tax systems and workflows. You will have the chance to grow from an individual contributor to a team leader as the company scales, supported by a competitive salary and equity package.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, or a closely related field.
• 8-15 years of progressive tax experience, with a blend of public accounting and in-house corporate tax roles.
• CPA or Enrolled Agent license is required.
• Strong expertise in federal and state tax matters, particularly within the technology, SaaS, or venture-backed company sectors.
• Demonstrated builder mentality: hands-on, proactive, and comfortable establishing processes and functions from scratch.
• Proven ability to exercise sound judgment and make effective decisions in ambiguous or uncertain environments.

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity to build and lead a tax function from the ground up at a high-growth fintech startup.
• Direct reporting line to the CEO and close collaboration with experienced leadership across departments.
• Competitive salary and equity package, reflecting the strategic importance of the role.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous paid time off and holidays.
• Remote work flexibility.
