Benefits and Perks
- Competitive Pay: Willing to look at experienced people who use this as their "in" to the company, and can scale pay accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The salary is not all you will make. All team members are entitled to stock options and yearly bonuses. We are raising additional rounds of capital through multiple channels and we expect there to have liquidity in our shares in the very short term. At the end of tax season, we assess everyone's performance and give bonuses accordingly. - Be Part Of A Happy Team: We see ourselves as a team of people who are working hard together to accomplish a specific mission (become the default tax preparation business opportunity for business owners and the go to tax prep service for consumers), in service of a larger purpose (create time for what matters). Yes, every company says they take culture seriously...and most are full of it. We don't just talk about our culture, and then ignore it in action--we live this mission every day, and we have a pretty awesome set of principles that we live by as a team, because this is the operating system for our tribe, and everyone in our company lives these principles).
- Freedom: Once you're established, you can work from home, work while you travel, make your own hours--we don't care. We only care that you produce the necessary results (that's one of our core values in fact).
- Make A Real Impact: We are a small start-up (still under 15 full time year round team members that scale drastically during tax season) and you will be a major part of our team, and help shape our growth. Not only that, you won't just impact the company, you'll impact the world. Taxes and entrepreneurship are two of the very best ways to influence other people and change the way they think--and you'll be helping to make them a reality.
- Fun & Fast-Paced Work: We don't have boring days. Some are hectic, some are hard, some are incredibly rewarding...but they are never boring and never exactly the same. That's what happens when you're solving real problems for people.
- Meet Interesting People: You're not just working on any tax company. Our company is winning awards regularly for our growth and innovation. The people that are part of our team are truly a special bunch. You'll get to work hand in hand with some of the most amazing and experienced professionals in the space.
