Croquet & Compliance

Croquet & Compliance

A fresh take on the CFO Series from Carta, in collaboration with Johnston Carmichael and Vault! 🌟

Join us as we bring our Croissants and Compliance roundtable series outdoors, swapping the boardroom for the lawn. After two successful breakfast sessions, we're back with a late summer edition designed for intimate discussions tailored for VC fund CFOs — mallet in hand! 🏏💼

Special Thanks: A big shoutout to Steph Orde at Episode One for 'Championing' this fantastic event! 🙌

Part One — Compliance Roundtables:

Dive deep with leading UK & US tax specialists from Johnston Carmichael and Vault. We'll tackle the critical tax questions that keep VC fund CFOs awake at night. Expect insights on:

• VAT
• Post-fund issues
• Investment structuring
• PFIC considerations
• US compliance
• General tax advisory

Walk away with clear understanding of what "good" looks like and actionable steps for your fund. Just a heads up — Chatham House rules apply! 📈

Part Two — Croquet and Cocktails:

Then, let’s take the fun outside! Enjoy croquet and craft cocktails on one of London's historic lawns — five acres of beautiful gardens surrounded by trees planted over 400 years ago by Sir Francis Bacon himself. Whether you're a pro or a newbie, gear up for great company, lively competition, and perhaps some creative rule interpretations! 🍹🌳
