Company
Numeral
The AI-native sales tax solution.
We built Numeral to handle US sales tax and global VAT compliance end-to-end for businesses selling online. Our platform automates registrations, filings, tax calculations, and ongoing compliance across tens of thousands of jurisdictions in over 70 countries. It's designed for speed, accuracy, and scale for growing e-commerce and SaaS companies.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.
San Francisco is where all four founders live and where the team has grown. It's also a good hub for fintech and SaaS, so it makes sense post-YC.
