About the role
Company Description:
Dillon Tax Consulting LLC is a specialized firm focused exclusively on sales tax advisory and managed compliance services. The team helps businesses identify and minimize multistate sales tax obligations, implement automated compliance solutions, and manage the full sales tax process from end to end. By providing efficient, reliable, and high-quality support, Dillon Tax Consulting enables clients and their advisors to concentrate on growing their businesses while maintaining accurate, low-risk compliance. The firm operates as a holistic partner to companies and CPA/advisory firms, emphasizing integrity, teamwork, and reliability in every client interaction.
Role Description:
You’ll manage the day-to-day sales tax compliance process for assigned clients, working directly with and reporting to our head of compliance. This is an opportunity to take ownership of client work while building your skills with an experienced, supportive team.
What you’ll do:
Prepare and file monthly, quarterly, and annual sales and use tax returns.
Collect, review, and reconcile client sales data to support accurate filings and payments.
Maintain filing calendars and track deadlines across multiple states and local jurisdictions.
Work with clients to obtain information, resolve discrepancies, and keep filings on schedule.
Assist with sales tax notices, account maintenance, and communications with taxing authorities.
Use sales tax compliance software and state filing portals to support compliance activities.
Maintain organized records of returns, payments, and client communications.
Identify issues that need additional review and work with our head of compliance to resolve them.
What we’re looking for:
- US-based candidates only
- Approximately 1–2 years of hands-on sales tax compliance experience, preferably involving multiple states or clients.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage recurring deadlines.
- Proficiency working with Excel, reconciling data, and investigating differences.
- Clear, professional communication and confidence following up with clients.
- The ability to work independently in a remote setting while staying connected with the team.
- A willingness to ask questions, learn new systems, and take responsibility for your work.
- Avalara experience is a plus, but it is not required—we will train the right person. An accounting or finance background is required; a CPA designation is not required.
What we offer:
- Fully remote work within the United States.
- Annual salary of $55,000–$65,000, based on relevant experience.
- Healthcare benefits.
- Direct guidance from our head of compliance and opportunities to learn from experienced sales tax professionals.
- Exposure to clients across different industries and opportunities to grow with the firm.
- Interested? Send Mike Dillon a LinkedIn message with your résumé and a brief description of your sales tax experience, including the states and software platforms you’ve worked with.#Hiring #SalesTax #TaxCompliance #RemoteJobs #Accounting

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
