In this episode, we interviewed Mark Faggiano. He is the CEO of Taxjar, the automated sales, tax reporting and filing software-as-a-service. Taxjar automates the tax process and handles everything for you. Taxjar managed to create a system that does all that with a 100% remote company and remote workers. As of today, Taxjar has 32 employees and will probably have more over the next six months.

In this episode we talked to Mark about, what is TaxJar, the benefits of building a SaaS product remotely, hiring better applicants, how to boost your remote team’s productivity, and the challenges of running a remote SaaS business.

Show highlights? According to Mark, if you are planning to build a remote company, invest time and energy in your workers. Remote communication means you will probably have to over-communicate sometimes. And finally, make sure your remote workers know how to manage their time and don't force a schedule over them.
