Mike Stalley has left his role as CEO at FiscalReps, nearly 15 years after he founded it.
In a post on LinkedIn, Stalley said the company had grown beyond his wildest dreams but it was time for him to leave and let the new owners and remaining team “pick up the baton and run with it”.
He added: “Importantly there is still plenty more room and opportunity for growth left in the tank.”
“It has been one hell of a journey with definitely more highs than lows but more importantly a lot of fun along the way.”
“To my colleagues, coworkers, friends, clients, suppliers, supporters, advocates, and family I want to say a huge thank you for your effort, enthusiasm, diligence, support, and belief in helping me bring my business plan to life–there are too many of you to name individually but you know who you are.”
FiscalReps was acquired by Sovos, a tax compliance, and reporting software firm, a year ago.
The acquisition allowed Sovos to add FiscalReps’ indirect tax solution to its Intelligence Compliance Cloud and expand its current team to support the increased demand for tax and reporting automation.
Prior to forming the company in 2003, Stalley spent four years as finance director and company secretary at Paragon International Insurance Brokers.
