    They've just got a big tranche of equity funding to expand into Europe, US and APAC. They're hiving off tech co with all the IP with all the TP implications of that. VAT is an issue as they're not a lender, just a clearing bank, so zero rated or exempt clearance application for their service fees is a competitive advantage. Expansion via branches or legal entities or acquisition? As I said, all equity funding, the balance sheet is super simple, as is the corporate structure. Debt and how to structure that will come into it soon Im sure. I'm not going in with closed eyes. I think youngish agile tech companies are the future. I have a host of questions.

    There's the opportunity to build out a team, someone with FATCA/CRS reporting experience, a VAT guy, CT compliance to outsource, and me to think about structuring, strategy and transfer pricing.

    I said from the start I'm settled. It will need to be right. I've worked for companies with >50k employees for 25 years. A change down could be good. Plus potential IPO gains if that's part of the package. Home working primarily, with offices in London and Bristol, and I'll hopefully have homes near both soon enough.

    My employer is still very Japanese. It can be frustrating, local staff arent really valued. I could put up and shut up for 20 years, but I might have a smidge of not exactly ambition, but want to properly shape a tax function.

    if you can't extract it, a smidge of glue in there would probably trap it

    See, this is a result of all that lab time. Simple solutions.

    I'm fcuking knackered. No gentle spin to get used to it. I'm pretending I've been riding 160km a week in all weathers for 10 years, rather than sitting on my @rse for 5 months. I'm 48 years old. What's left of my hair is grey, my kit doesn't fit. I have silly deep rims and a slammed stem which accentuates my gut. Why am I doing this? Cos it's brilliant. Even on London roads.
    I like this B³ bloke, sounds more my level than that H³ barsteward.
    Nice wobble home from work in shorts and a t-shirt.

    Ride more = loose the gut, keep the stem slammed and wind up those deep rims to a howl.

    You know the answer - move to the sticks and have loads of room for as many bikes as you want :smile: Actually, aren't you doing that already....?

    Mate, I've been so lazy. Once you get out of the routine of riding in all weathers, the siren call of the train is powerful. I was 3 days a week from Jul to Dec, then Omicron shut the office, and if you're not hardened, Jan Feb and March are minging. The sheer joy of being back on bike now should keep me going. Might even do a wobble with V68 tomorrow after work.

    They've just got a big tranche of equity funding to expand into Europe, US and APAC. They're hiving off tech co with all the IP with all the TP implications of that. VAT is an issue as they're not a lender, just a clearing bank, so zero rated or exempt clearance application for their service fees is a competitive advantage. Expansion via branches or legal entities or acquisition? As I said, all equity funding, the balance sheet is super simple, as is the corporate structure. Debt and how to structure that will come into it soon Im sure. I'm not going in with closed eyes. I think youngish agile tech companies are the future. I have a host of questions.

    There's the opportunity to build out a team, someone with FATCA/CRS reporting experience, a VAT guy, CT compliance to outsource, and me to think about structuring, strategy and transfer pricing.

    I said from the start I'm settled. It will need to be right. I've worked for companies with >50k employees for 25 years. A change down could be good. Plus potential IPO gains if that's part of the package. Home working primarily, with offices in London and Bristol, and I'll hopefully have homes near both soon enough.

    My employer is still very Japanese. It can be frustrating, local staff arent really valued. I could put up and shut up for 20 years, but I might have a smidge of not exactly ambition, but want to properly shape a tax function.

    I just cut and pasted that into Google Translate and still didn’t understand the details.

    Good luck with it.

    I can work from my London house, or in the gherkin with a bike commute. Or from my Porlock house or the Bristol office with a car commute. Pretty flexible.

    I've given up coffee for mint tea. Palpitations greatly reduced, sleep quality still shyyte, but better.

    If you mean feminine scenery. It's a fintech. It's fat computer blokes in red dwarf t shirts endlessly whining about being celibate. Or sales tw@ts banging on about their watches and Du-fcuking-bai.

    The senior management are ex-proper bankers. I meet 2 tomorrow, they know their sh1t. I'm hoping they don't see through my de Pfeffel bluster and bombast.

    I'm in 2 minds. I'm getting oldish, I'd like to fund my retirement properly, We have 7 years of school fees plus mini's University education if that's what she wants. But I have it relatively easy where I am for what I'm paid. Mrs B³ brings down the dough, so more money for a lot more stress isn't that appealing. Unless it's share options that vest on a potential IPO and mortgages disappear, and I can do something academic which means I can wear elbow patches.

    Surely Mrs B3 can fund a good chunk of that? Unless she has some very expensive habits. You'll still be double earners which is a pretty good situation to be in.

    so it hits the working from where you want box - sorted.

    a shame to have to give up yhe black gold but hey, if the mint tea is doing good stuff then its a winner. TDV has found a line of teas that she loves and has all herbally benefits - will take s snappity pic for you in a bit.

    ah. now thats a glitch. at least it mskes you hot stuff. well even hotter than you normally are. the new office totty.

    suss them out as much as they are sussing you out. you sin't de pffeffel - we all know you know your stuff do just go in and kickarse like you do best.

    its a tricky one - and one that i think you can only decide on once/if they make an offer snd once you've discussed it with Mrs B3. What does she want? She may be happy for you to follow your academic dream now. You never know, she may hsve a dmsll private fancy for elbow patches....

    whats your priority?

    Beany, rather than ditch the corfee how about trying caffeine free stuff. Got to be better than mint tea. I've had to ditch it for a while for the same reasons and have found I'm ok having the occasional normal coffee with no consequences.
    As to the job, good look with whatever you decide and be happy in whatever you decide.

    I tried caffeine free coffee and "normal" tea. I much prefer mint tea.

    Yeah, I'm getting ahead of myself a bit really! I'm OK where I am, let's see how the interview goes.

    What Mrs B³ wants changes all the time...she a strong woman, and all for feminism, but when I mentioned I might want to take my foot off the pedal a bit, do something different, it was like I'd killed her cat...that's for her to do on my money, not vice versa....🙄

Debt and how to structure that will come into it soon Im sure. I'm not going in with closed eyes. I think youngish agile tech companies are the future. I have a host of questions.

    There's the opportunity to build out a team, someone with FATCA/CRS reporting experience, a VAT guy, CT compliance to outsource, and me to think about structuring, strategy and transfer pricing.

    I said from the start I'm settled. It will need to be right. I've worked for companies with >50k employees for 25 years. A change down could be good. Plus potential IPO gains if that's part of the package. Home working primarily, with offices in London and Bristol, and I'll hopefully have homes near both soon enough.

    My employer is still very Japanese. It can be frustrating, local staff arent really valued. I could put up and shut up for 20 years, but I might have a smidge of not exactly ambition, but want to properly shape a tax function.

    thats all very well but whats the ahem, scenery like?

    you know, the important stuff

    1. showers
    2. coffee
    3. scenery
    I can work from my London house, or in the gherkin with a bike commute. Or from my Porlock house or the Bristol office with a car commute. Pretty flexible.

    I've given up coffee for mint tea. Palpitations greatly reduced, sleep quality still shyyte, but better.

    If you mean feminine scenery. It's a fintech. It's fat computer blokes in red dwarf t shirts endlessly whining about being celibate. Or sales tw@ts banging on about their watches and Du-fcuking-bai.

    The senior management are ex-proper bankers. I meet 2 tomorrow, they know their censored . I'm hoping they don't see through my de Pfeffel bluster and bombast.

    I'm in 2 minds. I'm getting oldish, I'd like to fund my retirement properly, We have 7 years of school fees plus mini's University education if that's what she wants. But I have it relatively easy where I am for what I'm paid. Mrs B³ brings down the dough, so more money for a lot more stress isn't that appealing. Unless it's share options that vest on a potential IPO and mortgages disappear, and I can do something academic which means I can wear elbow patches.
    so it hits the working from where you want box - sorted.

    a shame to have to give up yhe black gold but hey, if the mint tea is doing good stuff then its a winner. TDV has found a line of teas that she loves and has all herbally benefits - will take s snappity pic for you in a bit.

    ah. now thats a glitch. at least it mskes you hot stuff. well even hotter than you normally are. the new office totty.

    suss them out as much as they are sussing you out. you sin't de pffeffel - we all know you know your stuff do just go in and kickarse like you do best.

    its a tricky one - and one that i think you can only decide on once/if they make an offer snd once you've discussed it with Mrs B3. What does she want? She may be happy for you to follow your academic dream now. You never know, she may hsve a dmsll private fancy for elbow patches....

    whats your priority?
    Yeah, I'm getting ahead of myself a bit really! I'm OK where I am, let's see how the interview goes.

    What Mrs B³ wants changes all the time...she a strong woman, and all for feminism, but when I mentioned I might want to take my foot off the pedal a bit, do something different, it was like I'd killed her cat...that's for her to do on my money, not vice versa....🙄
    We’re living in the age of equality my friend. Which roughly translates as what ours is theirs and what’s theirs is their own. My missus has yet to buy me a drink or a meal and it’s not looking likely. Although I’d probably refuse if offered. Why are we such pushovers?
