Rivet Tax Expands Sales Team Amid Rapid Growth, Claims Top Spot on Sam's List

Rivet Tax, a specialized tax preparation firm, announced its search for a second Sales Development Representative (SDR), signaling an aggressive expansion of its go-to-market strategy. The announcement, made by Nick Abouzeid, EA, co-founder of Rivet Tax, highlighted the company's significant growth, including serving over 550 venture-backed companies and achieving the top ranking on Sam's List within 600 days.

"We’re hiring our second SDR at @RivetTax 🚨 In less than 600 days, we've become the #1 tax firm on @hi_samslist, work with 550+ of the fastest-growing, sophisticated venture-backed companies and execs in the world, and built the software in-house that powers our prep team at scale," Abouzeid stated in the tweet. The company emphasizes its proprietary software, which supports its tax preparation team.

Rivet Tax focuses on corporate tax, personal taxes, R&D credits, and bookkeeping, aiming to simplify the tax season for its clients. The firm, which secured pre-seed funding in March 2024 from investors including XYZ Venture Capital, has rapidly scaled its operations and client base. Its LinkedIn profile indicates a team of 15+ tax preparers and a focus on serving startups and high-net-worth individuals.

The firm's claim of being the "#1 tax firm on Sam's List" refers to Sam Parr's platform, described as a Yelp-like service for tax preparers and financial advisors. This ranking underscores Rivet Tax's client-centric approach, which its co-founder, Nick Abouzeid, attributes to "exceptional responsiveness, technical expertise, and a client-first approach." Rivet Tax's internal platform is cited as a key enabler for delivering this high level of service.

The expansion of the sales team is supported by experienced sales leaders from prominent fintech companies, including Ramp, a corporate credit card and finance automation platform. Abouzeid, a former growth leader at Ramp, has a history with the company. This collaboration aims to train new SDRs for future closing roles, further accelerating Rivet Tax's market penetration and growth, particularly among venture-backed entities.
