As startups grow and expand, they must comply with the ethical and tax laws of the state. Interestingly, taxation can be both an advantage and disadvantage for a company, which is why tax experts become so crucial for startups. In this episode, Stephen Bradshaw joins us to discuss key tax considerations for startups, including identifying when your goods or services are taxable, analyzing your risk exposure to sales tax, mitigating or minimizing your sales tax burden, and handling tax compliance if you are a scaling startup without a dedicated tax team.

Stephen, a Partner at Bennett Thrasher specializing in State and Local Tax, offers expert guidance to software companies on sales and use tax matters. His focus includes conducting nexus studies, advising on tax categorizations, negotiating voluntary disclosure agreements, preparing for diligence processes, and establishing best-practice procedures for automated sales tax software like Avalara. Stephen's insights have been featured in prestigious publications such as the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Accounting Today, Thompson Reuters, and the Georgia Society of CPAs.

Before joining Bennett Thrasher, he spent five years at Deloitte Tax, LLP in the Multistate Tax Services division, providing state income/franchise tax consulting, compliance, and ASC 740 (provision) services to major corporate clients.
