About TaxValet

We're not just a tax company. We're an emotions company. 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? At our company, our Core Purpose is to "transform negative emotions into something positive for our clients, partners, and each other". It just so happens that we do that by eliminating the hassle and stress of sales tax. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and want to work towards our Core Purpose, too.

TaxValet eliminates the hassle and stress of sales tax for e-commerce and software companies by doing everything for them. Unlike traditional sales tax software, we handle everything for our clients from nexus analysis, to permit registrations, filings, audit support and more. Unlike traditional professional service firms, we offer an all-inclusive solution for a simple, predictable monthly rate with no billable hours.

We are a fast-growing, fully remote, financially stable, and profitable business with a small but AWESOME team of 60-ish teammates. We're building a world-class sales tax team, and if you join us, you'll be part of the reason why.

We are a core-value-driven business. That means we hire, promote, and reward based on alignment with our core values:

• Feel It: We value connecting with the real emotions and experiences of others. We also value respectfully sharing our own real emotions and experiences with others.
• Shape It: We proactively contribute our ideas and talents by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and taking calculated risks to shape our future.
• Own It: We take full responsibility for our actions, decisions, and outcomes. We use both successes and failures as opportunities for growth, openly sharing lessons learned.
• Crush It: We relentlessly pursue exponential impact in our business and life.
• Question It: Be curious. Ask questions. Seek clarity in the pursuit of continuous improvement and excellence. Create a culture of fearless inquiry.

We are also a "give 1%" organization. This means that 1% of profit, employee time, and service time is dedicated towards nonprofits. We have contributed to Queer Asterisk following the shooting at a nightclub in Colorado Springs, typhoon disaster relief in the Philippines, and StrongMinds to help treat depression in Africa.
