Finance Lead - Tax

Why this role exists

As SaaS Labs continues to scale across geographies, taxation has become a strategic function rather than a compliance exercise. With operations spanning India and the United States, increasing regulatory complexity, and growing cross-border transactions, we need a Taxation Lead who can ensure the business remains compliant, efficient, and well-positioned for growth.

This role sits at the intersection of tax, finance, and business strategy - owning end-to-end tax operations for the US, while partnering closely with Finance, Legal, Payroll, and external advisors. Beyond managing compliance, this person will help the company navigate expansion, optimize processes, assess tax implications of key business decisions, and build the foundations needed to support a global SaaS organization at scale.

What youll actually do

• Own US federal and multi-state corporate income tax compliance, including preparation/review of Forms 1120, 1065, 5471, 5472, 8858, 8865, state income/franchise tax returns, extensions, and estimated tax payments.
• Support quarterly and annual tax provisions under ASC 740, including deferred taxes, return-to-provision adjustments, and tax account reconciliations.
• Manage SALT and sales & use tax compliance, including economic nexus assessments, registrations, filings, and SaaS taxability considerations across states.
• Coordinate with external CPA firms and tax advisors, ensuring accurate data, timely filings, and resolution of IRS/state notices and tax queries.
• Support international tax, transfer pricing, and intercompany transactions involving US and overseas entities, including supporting calculations and documentation.
