About the role

Senior Tax Accountant to support Notion's global indirect tax operations, ownership of recurring sales and use tax, VAT/GST, business tax, and related controls, with exposure to income tax compliance and reporting. Role is hybrid in San Francisco with anchor in-office days.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of recurring U.S. and global indirect-tax filings, calendars, data packages, notices, registrations, and close support—with accurate, review-ready work.
  • Establish a reliable reconciliation and exception workflow across billing, tax engines, filings, payments, and the general ledger, escalating issues clearly and early.
  • Use AI-enabled workflows and data tools to investigate variances, quality-check work papers, and improve documentation while preserving human review and controls.
  • Make tax operations more scalable and audit-ready by strengthening controls, process documentation, evidence, handoffs, audit support, and SOX walkthrough readiness.
  • Become a trusted partner to Accounting, Revenue, Billing, Product, Engineering, Data, and Customer Experience—and contribute to income tax compliance and reporting with guidance from experienced teammates.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • At least 3 years of public accounting and/or industry tax experience, with a primary focus on indirect tax compliance and operations.
  • Hands-on experience with indirect tax compliance or operations, especially U.S. sales and use tax, VAT/GST, business taxes, or other non-income-based taxes; this is the foundation for owning Notion’s recurring global work.
  • Experience preparing accurate reconciliations, journal entries, filings, payments, and audit-ready work papers, with the ability to connect activity across source systems and the general ledger.
  • Strong operational judgment: manage recurring deadlines, investigate exceptions, keep documentation organized, escalate issues promptly, and drive assigned work through completion.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, with a collaborative approach to working across Finance, Accounting, business teams, and external advisors.
  • Curiosity and learning agility, including willingness to build income-tax capability and demonstrated AI fluency—using AI to analyze data, investigate variances, improve documentation, perform quality checks, or automate repeatable workflows while validating outputs and protecting sensitive information.
