📋 Description

• Serve as Miter’s internal tax expert: stay current on Check policy and product changes, federal/state/local filing rules, and agency nuances; be the go-to for teammates escalating complex cases. • Own reactive tax support tickets: tax notices, blocked filings, W-2/year-end issues, balancing/HLD debits, and general tax-setup questions. • Drive proactive tax setup reviews for customers flagged as high-risk during onboarding — benefit/deduction design, payroll history reconciliation, tax profile audits (agency IDs, TPA/POA, “Applied For,” frequencies, rates), First Quarter Filing readiness, and year-end/ownership-change prevention. • Build playbooks, enablement docs, and training for Sales, Launch, and the broader Support team so common tax issues can be handled systematically (and eventually automated).

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years (mid) / 5+ years (senior) of payroll tax experience at a payroll provider, payroll SaaS, or PEO, with hands-on knowledge of federal, state, and local filing requirements across multiple jurisdictions. • Direct experience owning agency notices end-to-end, including researching guidance, guiding customers through resolution, and handling cases from first email through live calls with stressed CFOs. • Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, gross/net and tax reconciliations) and working knowledge of payroll systems like Check, Gusto, Rippling, ADP, or Paychex, with the ability to build and interpret balancing reports from scratch. • Deep agency fluency: POA/TPA processes, "Applied For" handling, filing frequencies, wage bases, withholding mechanics, and triaging 941/940, state UI, withholding, and local notices into clear next steps. • Excellent written and verbal communication paired with strong judgment: can distill a tangled tax history into a calm, concise reply, de-escalate frustrated customers, and turn repeat issues into playbooks alongside Support, Launch, and Product.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive (well above “market”) salary, commission, and equity packages. • Medical Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, FSA, vision plans to suit you and your family’s needs. • 401(k) Retirement Plan: Company-matched contributions to help you plan for your future. • Unlimited PTO: Take the time you need to recharge and be your best self. • Parental Leave: Generous 16-week paid leave for all parents, including adoptive and foster parents. • Learning & Development: We offer every employee an annual educational allowance to explore external professional development. • Office Extras: Snacks, coffee, lunch, and commuter benefits for in-office Mitosaurs. • Community: Multiple company-wide and team-specific off-sites per year.
