Notion is seeking a Senior Tax Accountant to support and scale its global tax operations. In this hands-on role, you will own recurring sales and use tax, VAT/GST, business tax, registrations, notices, reconciliations, and related controls while building exposure to income tax compliance and reporting.
You will take ownership of U.S. and global indirect-tax filings, calendars, data packages, notices, registrations, and close support, ensuring accurate, review-ready work. A key responsibility is establishing a reliable reconciliation and exception workflow across billing, tax engines, filings, payments, and the general ledger, escalating issues clearly and early. You'll leverage AI-enabled workflows and data tools to investigate variances, quality-check work papers, and improve documentation while preserving human review and controls.
This role is cross-functional and collaborative. You'll work closely with Accounting, Revenue, Billing, Product, Engineering, Data, and Customer Experience teams to trace differences across systems and strengthen tax operations. You'll make tax operations more scalable and audit-ready by strengthening controls, process documentation, evidence, handoffs, audit support, and SOX walkthrough readiness. You'll also contribute to income tax compliance and reporting with guidance from experienced teammates.
Notion works from its San Francisco offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (Anchor Days), and the company is looking for someone excited to work alongside the team in person during those days.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 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 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
- Experience preparing accurate reconciliations, journal entries, filings, payments, and audit-ready work papers, with 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 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
