<p>“Anrok is an essential part of the financial stack of the world’s best SaaS and AI companies,” said Ethan Choi, partner at Khosla Ventures. “We’re thrilled to support Anrok’s mission of simplifying and automating sales tax compliance for software companies and digital services.”</p>
<p>Built by a team of tax experts—with experience at Deloitte and EY, among others—Anrok’s platform is trusted by top tech companies to navigate complex sales tax challenges. The company managed compliance for over $7 billion of revenue in the past year alone, and innovative companies like Notion, Vanta, and Anthropic rely on Anrok to manage compliance worldwide and protect their bottom line.</p>
<p>“As a fast-growing software company, Gem&#8217;s customers are spread across the globe. We thought getting to compliance would be a long and expensive journey,” says Temi Vasco, Controller at Gem. “With Anrok, the path was simple. Anrok helps us manage risk more effectively, and avoid surprise hits to our bottom line.”</p>
<p>With this new funding, the company plans to keep investing in R&;D and product development.</p>
