The Team You’ll Work With
You’ll be joining Carta’s Tax team as a US Federal tax preparer and reviewer, leveraging Carta’s proprietary tax engine to file tax returns for our 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 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
Must have US Federal 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 (or eligible to sit for CPA exam) who understands the intricacies of US 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.
