Senior FATCA/CRS Consultant, Trust and Fiduciary Sector

About the Position

We are seeking a Senior FATCA/CRS Consultant for the Trust and Fiduciary Sector to provide expert technical support on FATCA and CRS compliance.

Responsibilities

• Technical Support: Review and determine complex classification cases, including multi-tier trust, foundation, and holding structures. Answer clients' technical questions across the full compliance cycle, from registration and due diligence to reporting, corrections, and responses to tax authority queries. Advise clients on remediating historic classification or reporting errors, and on the documentation a regulator or auditor would expect to see.
• Commercial Support: Join sales calls and product demonstrations when a prospect's compliance team wants a practitioner in the room, and handle the technical questions that go beyond the product script. Help new clients map their existing structures onto the platform during onboarding. Contribute to webinars, articles, conference panels, and client briefings when invited.
• Technical Resource: Act as a technical resource to our client-facing team, and brief them on developments such as the amended CRS and the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework. Be available to clients' compliance officers and responsible officers when they need a considered view on a difficult question.

Requirements

• Substantial experience in the trust and fiduciary industry, typically ten years or more.
• Hands-on experience of the full FATCA and CRS compliance cycle for trusts and fiduciary structures.
• Prepared or reviewed FATCA and CRS reporting in the prescribed XML formats, and dealt with validation errors, corrected and voided records, and nil returns.
• Handled FATCA registration and GIIN maintenance, including sponsored entities and trustee-documented trusts. Registered and reported through a local AEOI portal in at least one jurisdiction.
• Dealt directly with a tax authority or regulator on AEOI matters.
• Knowledge of the Model 1 and Model 2 IGA framework and the CRS Commentary.
• Familiarity with at least one major trust jurisdiction, such as Jersey, Guernsey, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Switzerland, or Liechtenstein.
• Write precise technical memoranda in English and explain analysis in plain terms to clients or colleagues in sales.
• Ability to take on assignments at short notice, free of conflicts with any current employer or client.

Nice to Have

• A legal, accountancy, or STEP qualification, or experience as a FATCA responsible officer.
• Knowledge of US Chapter 3 withholding and QI documentation, including Forms W-8 and W-9.
• Exposure to fund administration.

We Offer

• Daily or hourly rate.
• Fully remote work.
• Work with an established platform and a client base of licensed fiduciaries in several international finance centers.
• The engagement may expand as the business grows.

About the Company

WealthComply AG is a Zurich-based software company whose platform manages the AEOI compliance cycle for trust companies, corporate service providers, and fund administrators. The platform classifies trusts, foundations, companies, and account holders under FATCA and the Common Reporting Standard. It audits existing classifications, identifies reportable persons, and prepares reporting files in the required formats. Every determination is supported by a written classification memorandum. The platform is in live use by licensed fiduciaries in several jurisdictions, who rely on it to meet their AEOI obligations. Complex structures receive senior practitioner review as part of the service, and we are adding experienced consulting support to that function.
