ATLANTA – February 27, 2024 – Global compliance technology solutions and services provider Sovos today announced that Charles Maniace, vice president of regulatory analysis &design, was recognized in Accounting Today’s Top 100 Most Influential People.

“Chuck is as well-respected an expert in the field of tax as you are going to find anywhere,” said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO, Sovos. “He is unparalleled in his abilities to not only quickly interpret the implications of new and changing tax laws, but also to enable our customers and partners to navigate business changes. It is no surprise to see him here for five straight years, among leaders from governments and business alike.”
