Rep Data is looking for a Senior Accountant to take ownership of our multi-state sales tax function, support monthly close, and serve as the primary backup to our Treasury lead. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real ownership of a specific function while staying broadly engaged across close and treasury functions. You'll report directly to the CFO as the role gets established, with reporting expected to shift to the Controller once the function is up and running. You'll gain exposure to a PE-backed, multi-entity company operating across the US, UK, Austria, and South Africa.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
● Manage the relationship with our outsourced sales tax filing provider and own the accuracy of filings before submission
● Research and document taxability positions as we launch new products or expand into new states
● Support monthly close: journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis for assigned areas
● Act as second-in-command for Treasury: bank reconciliations, cash positioning, and daily liquidity monitoring, with full ownership during the Treasury lead's absence
● Assist with quarterly and annual audit requests related to sales tax and treasury
● Work with our outside accountants on corporate and state income tax filings, providing schedules and supporting detail as needed
● Support VAT compliance and filings for applicable entities
● Manage intercompany transactions and reconciliations across entities
● Support transfer pricing documentation and calculations in coordination with outside advisors
● Identify and help implement process improvements and automation opportunities across sales tax and cash workflows
WHAT YOU BRING
● Solid month-end close experience: reconciliations, journal entries, flux analysis
● Treasury or cash management exposure (bank recs, cash positioning) is a strong plus
● Exposure to corporate or state income tax (working alongside outside accountants or a tax firm) is a plus
● Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA or progress toward CPA is a plus
● Comfortable working independently in a lean, fast-moving finance team
● Strong Excel skills
● Working knowledge of Sage (ERP) and Avalara (sales tax) required
● Clear, organized communicator who can explain tax positions to non-tax people
WHAT WE OFFER
● Employer subsidized medical, dental, and vision coverage
● Paid time off and paid holidays
● 401K plan and matching program
● Employee Assistance Program
● Work from home with reimbursements for work-related expenses
● Company-provided computer
● Paid volunteer program
● An opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest in the market research industry and drive large-scale innovation in "restech"

What We Do
Rep Data helps researchers expedite data collection for primary quantitative research studies, with a hyper-focus on data quality and consistent execution. Our mission is to be a reliable, repeatable data collection partner. For life. We leverage direct connections into 250+ panel suppliers across 100+ countries. Suppliers compete against each other for access to open quotas. On average, a dozen panels will supply into an individual project. This means: unbiased sample sourcing, more representative sample, faster turnaround time, more cost effective pricing, and more reach than traditional panel vendors. The foundation of quality in the research process is the sample itself. To continue with our unbiased theme, Rep Data partners with external consultants to rate our sample suppliers on an ongoing basis. We don't want to grade our own homework. Each Rep Data supplier must meet a minimum quality benchmark, similar to how an Airbnb host must maintain a rating to list their property. Suppliers are graded on respondent attentiveness, time spent taking survey, straight-lining, open-end response quality, and attitudes over time. To complement the sample quality, we also implement strict quality checks before, during, and after field. Our client base consists of market research agencies, management consultancies, Fortune 500 corporations, advertising agencies, brand strategy consultancies, universities, and global communications/ PR agencies.
