Belltower Funds | Tax Manager

About AngelList & Belltower Funds:
We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building. 
AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $14B+ in assets under management. We’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.
While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.
About the Role:
The Tax Manager is part of the team responsible for driving federal and state income tax compliance for 15,000+ funds run on AngelList. This involves sanity-checking work that has been automated, preparing and reviewing work that is still currently prepared manually, identifying and resolving exceptions, and addressing investor questions. The second part of the job is to help Belltower scale through product and process design. This requires understanding where our data currently is and how it is populated, understanding the relevant tax laws, and then defining how the tax rules should be applied to our data to arrive at outputs for tax reporting. This role is open for most locations in the US, but not California. 
The Tax Manager will report to the Tax Director. The manager will work with other tax team members, members of the engineering team, and other cross-functional operations teams. 
They will review transactions where there could be tax reporting implications, participate in product testing for new products supporting tax and other functional teams, and identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and service offerings of the tax department.

You Will:

• Perform and review taxable income analysis
• Teach/mentor less experienced staff
• Drive tax communications, both internally and externally
• Drive annual tax compliance
• Identify, design, and implement process and product improvements
• Coordinate contractor support

You Have:

• 6+ years of tax experience working in the broader asset management sector, with focused experience in the venture capital or private equity space
• Experience with preparing and reviewing federal partnership returns, calculating waterfalls, and reviewing partnership agreements
• Experience identifying compliance obligations related to outbound foreign investments, state income tax returns and foreign inbound investor reporting obligations
• Deep experience with process improvement and automation

If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.
Remote-friendly culture: AngelList & Belltower Funds have offices in two hub cities: Seattle (HQ) and New York City, that you can choose to work from. We have an incredibly remote-friendly culture with the vast majority of the team choosing to work remotely 3+ days of the week. You can choose how often you’d like to come into the office!
