Most finance leaders don't realize they're approaching a tax complexity tipping point until they're past it.
We analyzed $1.4 billion of monthly revenue through Anrok from companies ranging from <$1M to >$50M ARR to identify exactly when manual tax processes break down.
The finding: Tax filings increase 47x from startup to enterprise.
Companies go from managing 2 annual tax filings to 94+ filings as they scale. Each filing takes 2-4 hours—turning what starts as a manageable process into hundreds of hours per year.
At the same time, jurisdiction exposure expands from 1 market to 28+ worldwide, each with different rules, rates, and deadlines.
Our analysis reveals precise inflection points where automation shifts from optional to essential:
- $5M revenue: Manual processes show strain
- $10M revenue: Compliance becomes a significant time investment
- $30M revenue: Manual processes no longer scale
