Overview

Anrok is a global indirect tax compliance platform purpose-built for software and SaaS businesses, covering real-time tax calculation, nexus monitoring, automated filing, exemption management and reporting tailored to subscription billing models. It supports compliance across 100+ countries and 11,000+ US jurisdictions, including VAT ID validation and exemption certificate handling.

A distinctive capability is its workforce-driven nexus monitoring, which tracks both economic nexus from sales and physical nexus created by remote employees by integrating with HR and payroll systems, along with cross-border exposure modeling. Anrok is natively integrated with NetSuite (SuiteTax) for fast setup, and EU, UK and Canada registrations and filings are included in its offering.

Founded in 2020 by Kannan Goundan and Michelle Valentine and headquartered in San Francisco, Anrok has raised over $100 million in venture funding, including a $55M Series C in October 2025 led by Spark Capital with participation from Sequoia, Index, Khosla and Sapphire Ventures.
