Forward Deployed Tax Expert

Overview

CoinTracker is on a mission to unlock everyone's financial potential so they can build the life they want. We started with crypto, building the tax and portfolio tools trusted by millions to make digital assets simple. Today, we're going further with Nino, our AI-powered financial planning product that puts expert-level guidance within reach of everyone, not just the wealthy.

More on Nino: Elite tax planning doesn't scale. The best advisors serve 50 to 100 households. We're fixing that by turning tax logic into code at Nino. The CPA profession is being reshaped by AI. Not in 10 years. In 2026. You can define how AI delivers tax advice, or spend the next few years adapting to rules someone else wrote. Nino is built inside CoinTracker ($100M raised; partners include Coinbase, TurboTax, H&R Block, Thomson Reuters), with the autonomy of an early-stage startup.

• Own equity-comp planning: ISO/NSO/RSU/ESPP, AMT crossover, 83(b), QSBS, 409A, secondary sales, IPO/liquidity events.

• Help build the Tax Brain: break complex decisions into logic an engineer can code; review AI advice and correct it.

• Solve edge cases: AMT, wash sales, multi-state allocation, QSBS, pass-through optimization.

What we look for

• Role-agnostic

  • Opportunity Alignment: Genuine conviction about our mission, the opportunity we're going after, or the technical problems we're solving.

  • High Agency: You identify what matters, take it on, and own outcomes.

This role is not a fit if
