The Company You’ll Join
Carta connects founders, investors, and limited partners through world-class software, purpose-built for everyone in venture capital, private equity and private credit. Trusted by 65,000+ companies in 160+ countries, Carta’s platform of software and services lays the groundwork so you can build, invest, and scale with confidence.
Carta’s Fund Administration platform supports 9,000+ funds and SPVs, representing nearly $185B in assets under management, with tools designed to enhance the strategic impact of fund CFOs. Recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. and Great Places to Work, Carta is shaping the future of private market infrastructure.
Together, Carta is creating the end-to-end ERP platform for private markets. Traditional ERP solutions don’t work for Private Funds. Private capital markets need a comprehensive software solution to replace outdated spreadsheets and fragmented service providers. Carta’s software for the Office of the Fund CFO does just that - it’s a new category of software to make private markets look more like public markets - a connected ERP for private capital.

The Problems You’ll Solve
- Validate and properly segment 409A Valuation requests.
- Manage the delivery responsibility of 409A Valuations for Carta’s earliest-stage customers.
- Support the customer-facing process for requesting 409A Valuations.
- Assist customers with low-complexity, high-volume financial reporting inquiries.
- Prepare qualified small business tax exemption, or ‘QSBS’, attestation letters.
- Assist Equity Advisors with equity compensation tax projection vetting and preparation.

The Team You’ll Work With
The Auditable Reporting Services business unit at Carta includes a diverse set of services, including Valuations, Financial Reporting (or ASC 718), Equity Advisory, Qualified Small Business Stock (‘QSBS’), Portfolio Insights, and Capital Call Lines of Credit (‘CCL’).
These services are connected in various ways; for example, Carta’s 409A Valuations determine the strike price of employee options, which not only feeds into ASC 718’s stock-based compensation expense, but is a focal point of tax planning conversations with Carta’s Equity Advisory team. The narrative of these tax planning conversations can shift depending on whether the employee’s company is QSBS eligible, which also impacts the capital gains tax implications for Portfolio Insights customers; additionally, these customers are afforded flexible investment decisions with the assistance of Carta’s CCL product.
As a Finance and Equity Analyst, you'll participate in a twelve-month rotation serving various parts of Auditable Reporting, including but not limited to preparing 409A Valuations, advising customers on financial reporting, preparing tax projections, and aggregating financial statements for Venture Capital investors. Finance and Equity Analysts will be assigned a dedicated team upon successful completion of the L1 rotation.
