Tax Research Specialist

ComplYant is a startup committed to solving the business tax problem.

Businesses are paying billions in tax penalties every single year for filing forms or making payments after they are due.

We aid small business owners by using technology in taking charge of their tax requirements with deadline tracking, budgeting, and so much more.

We are not a tax firm.

We are a technology startup putting the power back in the hands of the business owner.

We want to completely upend the status quo that says only the rich can benefit from great tax support.

We segregate work into teams.

This means you’ll have a team leader to help guide your work to ensure we all stay on task and collectively continue to build something we all believe in.

But what this also means is that you may be able to join other teams to learn and grow because we don’t believe in siloed skills and teams.

We are better as a whole if we all can contribute anywhere and everywhere our skill sets could be of value.
