This week's #TeamTaxJar, we're introducing you to our dazzling✨ AutoFile Specialist, Myra:⁣ ⁣ 1) Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar? Virginia Beach! (You can't say it without smiling.) I've been working with TaxJar since 2014. ⁣ ⁣ 2) Why is remote work important to you? We had some serious illness in the family. Because I am able to work remotely, I was able to watch over and care for my family without taking excessive leave or sacrificing my quality of work.⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar? ⁣ I had the good fortune to work alongside TaxJar for several years as a contractor, so I was privy to the culture and commitment to their people. I knew early on that this was a special company, so fully committed to the ideals and core values that they'll do what's right for the team and customers, rather than grapple at dollars. ⁣ ⁣ 4) Fun Fact? ⁣ Each week, I ask a different teammate pick my lipstick color 🎨 for the TaxJar team video call. Fun fact: We have yet to duplicate a color! ⁣ ⁣ Fun indeed! Want to know more about our team? Stop by our Life at TaxJar blog and check it out (link in profile). Want to *join* TaxJar? Check out taxjar.com/jobs for the latest openings. See you next week!⁣ We are excited for our first #TeamTaxJar post of 2020 where we talk canoeing 🛶 , coffee ☕️ and #RemoteLife with our Technical Recruiter, Lorena: 1) Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar?⁣ I am in Lahaina, Hawaii (Maui) and I joined TaxJar August 2019.⁣ ⁣ 2) Why is remote work important to you?⁣ Remote work has given me the freedom to design my work environment and be even more productive for my colleagues and company.⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar?⁣ The people. The experience of working in Recruiting and Employee Experience here has been like no other. It's a real genuine joy to work alongside professionals who put the person (not function) first.⁣ ⁣ 4) Give us a fun fact!⁣ Prior to moving to Maui, I could barely swim and I was a bit of a mediocre athlete. Week two of living here, I joined an outrigger canoe club and haven't looked back. My free time is spent paddling with some of the most inspiring people I've ever met and no matter the pain (and extreme learning curve) - I can't imagine my life without this community. I also help out on weekends at my friend's coffee shop. He was bold enough to invite me in as a non-coffee drinker. I'd never had a latte before, and now I'm obsessed with barista-ing!⁣ ⁣ Check out TaxJar.com/Jobs if you’re interested in learning more about the positions we have open. You may just hear from Lorena! 2019 was a great year for #TeamTaxJar. Wait ‘til you see what’s in store for 2020. From all of us, to all of you Happy New Year 🎊! From #TeamTaxJar, wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays❄️. We look forward to seeing you in 2020🎉! Meet #TeamTaxJar Technical Support Engineer, David. Today we're talking a way too cute newborn, hot sauce and ⁣a culture that's second to none. (Thumb left👈🏼 for some serious cuteness.) ⁣ 1) Where are you located and how long have you been with TaxJar?⁣ Deep in the heart of Texas! I've been with TaxJar since June of 2019.⁣ ⁣ 2) How has remote work impacted you?⁣ Working remotely has been an amazing experience. I no longer lose two plus hours of my day commuting back and forth from an office and I get to be home with my four dogs and my newborn daughter. Spending my lunch break with my daughter means the world to me. I get to experience important moments that I'd only get to hear about if I was off in the city working and not at home. I also have the flexibility to make my lunch which has led to me being healthier.⁣ ⁣ 3) Why TaxJar?⁣ I feel so fortunate to be working at TaxJar. I know praising a workplace's culture can be cliché, but it truly is second to none here at TaxJar. I love the work we do, I love the customers we help, and I love the people I work with and interact with on a daily basis. We help so many small business owners tackle the massive problem of figuring out what to charge and then filing sales tax in multiple states across the country. I take a lot of pride in what we do and how we do it.⁣ ⁣ 4) Spill some fun facts for us!⁣ I have a lot of hobbies including knitting, making and bottling my own hot sauce, traditional archery and making jam, relish, pickles. I'm also in the process of building a teardrop camper at the moment. --- Interested in learning more about our culture?

A big congratulations 🎉 to our audacious leader for being named Best CEO for #SMBs by @comparably! 🥇 https://www.comparably.com/news/best-ceos-2019/
