- Maintain schedules for realized vs unrealized gains/losses and cost basis/lots where needed for reporting and CPA support.
- Implement and maintain finance controls appropriate for a lean team (approvals, segregation of duties where feasible, documentation standards).
- Maintain a compliance calendar (in partnership with external advisors) and ensure recurring obligations are tracked and supported.
- Coordinate with external accountants, auditors, tax providers, and legal counsel to support multi-jurisdiction requirements.
- Deliver clear, management-ready reporting: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and concise variance narratives.

- Support budgeting and forecasting cadence (annual budget + rolling forecast; budget vs actual with variance explanations).
- Maintain visibility across fiat accounts and crypto holdings; support payment operations with strong authorization and recordkeeping.
