The Team You’ll Work With

You’ll be joining Carta’s Fund Tax team as a US Federal tax reviewer, leveraging Carta’s proprietary tax engine to file tax returns for our Venture Capital clients. Your clients are the most talented venture capitalists, fund managers and dealmakers in the world. You will help them realize their ambitions of supporting the companies of tomorrow through our next-gen investment stack (including legals, vehicle formation, banking, investor onboarding and much more). You will be part of helping grow the venture capital ecosystem. You will also be collaborating with our wider Carta accounting, fund administration and compliance teams on relevant tax issues that relate to Carta’s products and services.

The Problems You’ll Solve

• Turning professional services into products is challenging: how do you productize workflows so that we can deliver the fastest tax solutions with perfect accuracy?
• We are at the intersection of finance, tax and technology: how do we build a tax engine that will make tax filings feel as simple as ordering a book online?
• We automate investment structures in venture capital: how can you help scale post-deal processes so that each container is as seamless and fun to use as the last one created?

About You

You are a fully qualified CPA with at least 5 years experience in public accounting, who understands the intricacies of US international tax filings relating to investment vehicles, and have a burning desire to see it automated and simplified.
