Administrative Assistant (FTE / Benefits Eligible) in Durango, CO OR Remote
Who We Are
Authentic empathy for our clients’ problems is built into everything we do. You know that feeling you get when it’s time to file your taxes with the IRS each year? Imagine feeling that, every month, with tens of thousands of dollars at stake. We’re eliminating that feeling and creating lasting positive relationships with our clients, partners, and each other. We believe that the work we do is a reflection of our higher purpose in life. And if the work isn’t fulfilling and enjoyable, what’s the point?
So … what exactly do we do? We do whatever it takes to eliminate the hassle of sales tax for our clients. This typically involves helping clients understand where they have sales tax obligations, getting sales tax permits, managing transaction data, and handling ongoing filings. We’re also there for them if they ever have sales tax related questions. We primarily serve online retailers based in the United States, but we are actively working on branching out into other markets. The sky ‘s the limit!
We’re a small company (currently at 6 employees) but we’re profitable and growing fast!
