Head of Tax

At Every.io, we're reimagining back-office operations for startups. Our platform simplifies finance, compliance, HR, and more-helping founders stay focused on building, not paperwork. We offer everything a startup needs in one place: Banking, Cards, Bill Payments, Bookkeeping, Tax, HR, Payroll, and Benefits-all with 10x better workflows using AI.

We're a Series A startup backed by top-tier investors, growing fast, and building a world-class team. With over 250 customers already using our tax services, we're now ready to bring this function fully in-house and build it from the ground up.

The Role

You'll establish processes, manage compliance across federal and state jurisdictions, and serve as a trusted advisor to our CEO and leadership team. As we grow, you'll build a team of 3-6 tax professionals over the next year.
