The Team You’ll Work With

You’ll be joining Carta’s Fund Tax team as a US SALT 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

Must have US state and local tax experience for the preparation and filing of tax returns and IRS e-filings, focusing on partnership tax returns.

You are a fully qualified CPA (with a minimum of 2 years post qualified experience) with at least 4 years experience in public accounting, who understands the intricacies of US state tax filings relating to investment vehicles, and have a burning desire to see it automated and simplified.

Excited to work on wider team projects which are not directly tax-related (e.g. legal, financial) as well as interacting with clients on administering their investment structures.

• High attention to detail: written and quantitative. You must be confident navigating your way around complex tax structures and documentation in relation to this.
• Organized and calm under pressure, you are able to manage competing demands on your time, whilst persevering to solve ambiguous problems.
• Passionate and knowledgeable about venture capital: you intimately understand the pressures facing our clients and are ready to roll up your sleeves in a post Series-A rocket-ship start-up.
• You’re interested in working on projects in a fast-paced environment with a supportive team and as an individual
• You have experience leveraging technologies to automate processes and gain efficiencies
• You have strong critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making skills
• You take pride in your ability to communicate effectively and are able to multitask to meet multiple deadlines

At Carta, you’re not just an employee. You’re a builder who is creating infrastructure that accelerates innovation and empowers more ownership. Cartans are helpful, relentless, unconventional and kind; representing Carta’s Identity Traits. They work collaboratively and cross functionally to challenge the status quo; working towards a common goal of creating more owners in the private markets.
