• Support all areas of the tax practice while running point on sales tax: compliance, filings, nexus reviews, and client questions (prior sales tax experience is a plus, not a must)

Is Howard Right for You?

Howard isn't for everyone, and that's intentional. We're a fast-growing startup, which means things move quickly, priorities shift, and not every process is fully built yet. We're looking for people who:

• Take initiative and act before being asked
• Aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and dig into the details, even when the work isn't glamorous
• See ambiguity as an opportunity to build, not a reason to wait
• Are hungry to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility over time

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay, based on experience
• Quarterly performance bonus, tied to team and individual results
• Unlimited paid time off
• 100% remote work, collaborating with a global team from anywhere
• 10 paid holidays per year, choose local or U.S. holidays
• Annual performance reviews with clear feedback and growth discussions
• Career growth opportunities as the tax function expands
• Learning culture where curiosity, feedback, and continuous improvement are encouraged
• A supportive team of sharp, friendly people who care about great work
