Ce que fait Caribou

Going global is now the norm. But the moment you set up an entity in another country, you inherit a tax and legal mess that compounds with every hire and every invoice. For example, one jurisdiction has to be profitable, cash has to move between entities compliantly, and every cross-border decision has to be audit-ready, which today means a different law firm in each country, a tax advisor on top of that, and you coordinating the chaos. The real expertise is locked up inside the Big Four. The world's largest companies pay millions a year for access. Everyone else gets selective coverage and hefty legal bills to half-solve the problem. Caribou is the first autonomous tax firm. No lengthy workshops, no months of back-and-fort; connect your finance and HR systems and we graph your business - every entity, process, and employee - into a model we call the Atlas. From there we check transfer pricing, surface legal risks you didn't know you had, maximise your R&D credits, and monitor for accidental taxes as your shape changes. And we don't just hand you a report. We speak to your accountants, draft the legal agreements, and implement the fix ourselves. We've turned an eight-week engagement into three hours. Why work with three firms when one does the job? We're already working with fast-growing companies like Butternut Box, OpenFX, Encord, Vertice, Omnea, and Hadrian - we've saved them hundreds of thousands on legal fees and surprise tax bills.

The autonomous tax firm

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that connects to a company's finance and HR systems to map their global entities, employees, and processes into what we call the Atlas. It automates transfer pricing checks, highlights legal risks, finds R&D credit opportunities, and monitors tax exposure, all in real time. Instead of just handing over compliance reports, we draft legal agreements, talk directly to accountants, and implement fixes ourselves, cutting what used to take eight weeks down to hours.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London is a global hub for finance and law, which puts us close to our target customers and the complex regulations we help navigate.
