Finance and Equity Analyst

The Team You’ll Work With

The Equity Platform business unit at Carta includes a diverse set of services, including, Financial Reporting (or),, Qualified Small Business Stock (‘’),, and Capital Call Lines of Credit (‘’).

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 Equity Platform, 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.
