About Stripe

At Stripe, our mission is to enhance the GDP of the internet. We provide powerful and versatile tools for global online businesses, processing billions in transactions annually while empowering millions of users to grow and optimize their operations using our platform.

As a financial infrastructure solution for businesses, Stripe serves everyone from enormous enterprises to ambitious startups, enabling them to accept payments, boost revenue, and seize new business opportunities. This role offers an exceptional chance to help make the global economy accessible to all while engaging in meaningful work.

We’re seeking a talented Tax Information Reporting Analyst who enjoys tackling complex challenges alongside cross-functional teams to develop and implement effective solutions that fulfill Stripe's tax requirements.

You Will:

  • Review and validate tax forms (W-8, W-9), FATCA, and CRS certificates submitted by users, addressing inquiries regarding these documents.
  • Accurately and timely file Forms 1099, Forms 1042-S, and FATCA/CRS reports with relevant tax authorities.
  • Conduct regular assessments of US information reporting and withholding processes in compliance with IRC Chapters 3, 4, and 61, as well as state tax reporting, ensuring audit readiness for cross-functional teams like Accounts Payable.
  • Document internal processes around Stripe’s tax information reporting and withholding obligations and prepare understandable communications for our users.
  • Collaborate effectively with Product, Tax Operations, Engineering, and Sales to implement tax requirements and develop tax products, all while having a strong moral compass and integrity.
  • Assist team with operational processes and identify opportunities to enhance operational efficiency.

We are looking for someone with:

  • 4-6+ years of experience in tax information reporting and withholding, either at an accounting or law firm, in-house within the financial services industry, or a combination of both.
  • Familiarity with the onboarding and year-end reporting processes for tax identity information collection.
  • Experience reviewing W-9 and W-8 forms, along with FATCA and CRS self-certifications, and reporting to tax authorities.
  • Strong time-management and project-management skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication abilities.
  • Capacity to prioritize tasks in a fast changing and dynamic environment.
  • A sense of empathy, humility, and a touch of humor.

Nice to haves:

  • Advanced degree or professional certification (CPA, JD, or equivalent, Masters in Tax, or LLM) in tax or law.
  • Experience in a high-growth, rapidly evolving environment.
  • Background in technology, payments, or financial services.

“Nice to have” qualifications are just that—helpful but not mandatory. If you believe you’re a strong fit for our team, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet these additional criteria.

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in-office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
