Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

• Group structuring and value creation: corporate structure, entity footprint, intercompany agreements and internal financing; acquisition structuring, holding structures for new markets and cash repatriation; find where value is leaking and propose the fix
• Group tax compliance: UK corporation tax, VAT, payroll and indirect taxes, plus US and other international obligations as we enter new markets; own filings, payments and deadlines across every entity
• Transfer pricing: policy, documentation and intercompany pricing across a structure that gains entities regularly, working with external advisers to keep it current and defensible
• Reliefs and credits: R&D claims, capital allowances and full expensing on generation and storage assets, group relief, and loss and interest restriction planning
• Compliance financial reporting: statutory, regulatory and filing obligations across Companies House, HMRC, Ofgem and overseas equivalents, accurate and on schedule
• Corporate and general admin tied to compliance: new entity incorporation and set-up, company secretarial, registrations and operational tasks

• Qualified accountant or tax adviser (ACA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent) with a strong tax background, ideally practice-trained or a mix of practice and in-house
• Real exposure to group structuring, transfer pricing design, M&A tax or financing structures (the part we care most about)
• Solid working knowledge of UK tax (corporation tax, VAT, payroll); exposure to US or other international tax is a strong plus
• Comfortable owning a domain without hand-holding in a fast, ambiguous environment
• Highly organised, deadline-driven and detail-obsessed, with the judgement to know what's material
• First-principles thinker who wants to build clean processes, not just maintain them
• Bonus: experience standing up entities in new jurisdictions; energy, trading or other regulated-sector experience; offshore and holding-structure tax experience
