About Compound
Compound Planning is a digital family office and tech-enabled RIA managing more than $4 billion for high-net-worth founders, early employees, executives, professionals, and families. The firm combines modern technology with deep expertise to help clients manage their entire financial lives all in one place — from investments and taxes to estate planning and equity compensation.
What we're building has been recognized by Financial Advisor Magazine in 2024 and 2025 as one of America's Top RIAs and 50 Fastest Growing RIAs. We've also been featured in publications such as Barron's, Forbes, Citywire RIA, and more.
The Opportunity
We're building a modern, high-integrity tax practice that's tightly integrated with ongoing financial planning. You'll own the strategy and execution from day one: services, systems, quality, and client outcomes. If you like holistic tax planning, making a difference for clients, and working alongside an incredible team of wealth managers—this is your playground.
What You'll Do

Own compliance at scale.
Oversee relationships, tax return workflow and processes with outside CPA firms. Identify ways to scale as the firm grows.
Deliver holistic & proactive planning.
Deliver holistic tax planning strategies to high-net worth clients. Things like: Equity comp (ISOs/NSOs/RSUs, 83(b)), Crypto, QSBS, QBI §199A, NIIT, SALT, real estate, philanthropy, entity selection, and exit planning. Experience in estate planning is helpful.
Integrate with planning.
