Senior Tax Manager at Wrapbook – Build Tax Function in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Rare "Build From Scratch" Opportunity: Being the sole in-house tax expert at a 350-person, VC-backed SaaS company is a significant career accelerator. You'll own the entire tax function — a level of autonomy rarely offered outside of founding roles or very early-stage startups.
Compensation Context: No salary is listed, but Senior Tax Manager roles at Series B/C SaaS companies in the US typically range from $160,000–$220,000 USD annually, with equity. Given Wrapbook's Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer backing and the solo/strategic nature of the role, expect compensation toward the higher end of that band. Canadian candidates should expect slightly lower figures in CAD.
Skills You'll Develop:
- Cross-border US/Canada tax strategy and compliance — highly transferable and scarce
- Tax engine implementation (ERP integration) — increasingly in-demand as SaaS companies scale
- ASC 740 provision work — essential for any future CFO or VP Tax track
- Product-embedded tax logic design — a niche fintech skill with growing market value
Culture Signals: The emphasis on self-sufficiency and being a "team of one" signals a lean, high-trust environment rather than a heavily structured corporate hierarchy. This suits senior professionals who thrive with ownership but may feel isolating for those who prefer large tax department mentorship structures.
Green Flags: Strong VC backing, entertainment-industry niche (defensible moat), and explicit product influence for the tax function. Watch for: No equity details disclosed and no mention of a tax team growth plan — confirm scope and headcount trajectory before accepting.

The Opportunity – Senior Tax Manager (Remote - USA / Canada)
We are looking for a Senior Tax Manager to own the tax function end to end, from corporate income tax to sales and indirect tax to cross-border compliance. You will be the sole in-house tax expert partnering directly with Finance, Product, and external advisors. This is a rare opportunity to build a tax function from the ground up at a high-growth company, set the standard for how we file, plan, and shape the tax logic embedded in the products our customers use every day.
What You'll Do:
- Own corporate and income tax compliance and provision, including federal, state, and local filings, quarterly estimates, and coordination of the annual return with external advisors.
- Manage sales and indirect tax across all jurisdictions we operate in, including nexus determination, registration, filing, and audit response.
- Scope, select, and implement a tax engine if needed, integrating it with our ERP (Rillet) and internal systems to automate tax calculation at scale.
- Manage Canadian tax obligations and correspondence with the Canada Revenue Agency, covering GST/HST, provincial sales taxes, SR&ED and cross-border matters tied to our EOR model.
- Research technical tax positions and translate that research into documented, defensible filing positions and internal policy.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to design the tax structure of customer invoices, ensuring the right taxes are assessed, displayed, and remitted.
- Advise leadership on tax planning, exposure, and prudent positions as the business enters new jurisdictions and launches new products.
- Manage relationships with third-party tax advisors, auditors, and taxing authorities, directing outside work while retaining in-house ownership where possible.
What You'll Have:
- A bachelor's degree in accounting, taxation, or finance; a Master of Science in Taxation (MST) or equivalent graduate tax focus is a plus.
- Eight or more years of progressive tax experience spanning corporate/income tax and sales/indirect tax, ideally built on a foundation in public accounting (Big Four or regional firm) before moving in-house. Generalists who have carried multiple tax disciplines are strongly preferred over narrow specialists.
- Hands-on experience implementing or administering a tax engine and integrating it with an ERP.
- Working knowledge of ASC 740 tax provision and the corporate compliance cycle, from estimates through the annual return.
- Foreign or international tax experience, ideally including Canadian tax (GST/HST, provincial sales tax) and direct interaction with the Canada Revenue Agency.
- Proficiency with tax research platforms (Checkpoint, Bloomberg Tax, or CCH) and the ability to research tax law independently and turn findings into documented, defensible filing positions.
- Strong organization and self-sufficiency; you can run a full tax function as a team of one and prioritize across competing deadlines.
- A track record of advising cross-functional partners (Finance, Product) and influencing decisions with clear, practical guidance.
- CPA (or CPA, Ontario / equivalent) preferred but not required.
