About Clear Street:
Clear Street is modernizing the brokerage ecosystem. Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets.
We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today’s complex, global market. Clear Street’s proprietary prime brokerage platform adds significant efficiency to the market, while focusing on minimizing risk, redundancy, and cost for clients. Our goal is to create a single source-of-truth platform for every asset class, in every country, and in any currency.
By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we’re building the essentials to compete in today’s fast-paced markets.

- Manage end-to-end tax compliance cycle including, but not limited to, the preparation and/or review and filing of corporate income tax returns, VAT/GST and/or withholding taxes using local external advisors, where appropriate.

- Ensure timely and accurate tax disclosures in statutory financial statements.

- Collaborate with Head of Tax on global tax strategy ensuring regional alignment with overall group-wide objectives.
- Assist with development and implementation of tax planning initiatives, identifying opportunities to optimize effective tax rate and maximize efficiency and tax savings.
- Assist with M&A tax due diligence and post-acquisition tax integration and legal entity rationalization workstreams, including holding structures and IP ownership.
- Act as internal tax advisor for various business units and stakeholders, including, but not limited to, finance, legal, operations and HR.
- Monitor legislative and regulatory developments in UK, EMEA, and APAC jurisdictions (including Pillar Two / BEPS) and assess impact on the business.
