    Agile Consulting Group is a sales and use tax consulting firm looking for part-time help. In the wake of the South Dakota v. Wayfair Supreme Court ruling in June 2018, many companies are finding they have sales tax collection and reporting obligations in new states. As each state's laws are different from one another, we've found a need to help our clients make accurate taxing decisions for their product and/or service offerings. The ideal candidate is a law school student, recent graduate, or someone experienced in reading laws, statutes, rules and regulations, rulings, court cases, and other existing case law and synthesizing that information to arrive at a clear understanding of whether a state has determined if a specific product or service is subject to tax.

We expect this position to require 15-20 hours per week, initially beginning in our Norcross, GA office, but will allow for schedule flexibility and future potential work-from-home possibilities.
