About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

End-to-End Accounting Management: Own the full accounting cycle, including journal entries, reconciliations, and the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes.
Financial Reporting: Produce accurate financial statements, board-level reporting, and consistent financial updates for leadership.
Internal Controls & Compliance: Design and implement a robust internal control environment, including segregation of duties, approval workflows, and documentation standards to ensure GAAP compliance and audit readiness.
Treasury and Equity Administration: Manage the tax and compliance calendar, oversee cash flow forecasting, and handle the financial aspects of equity issuances, including 409A processes.
Strategic Finance Partnership: Act as a strategic partner to leadership by supporting budgeting, scenario analysis, and variance analysis; lead financial diligence for future fundraising rounds.
Technology Integration: Build and configure a scalable finance and accounting tech stack, leveraging AI tools as a force multiplier to increase automation, speed, and accuracy across the function.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience: 6–10 years of finance and accounting experience. A background in public accounting (Big 4 or mid-tier) combined with in-house experience at a high-growth startup is strongly preferred.
Certification: CPA designation is highly preferred; however, candidates with a proven track record of equivalent technical rigor will be considered.
Location: Must be based in or willing to relocate to New York City. This is an on-site role and is not eligible for remote work.
Proven Autonomy: Experience running a finance or accounting function largely solo. The ideal candidate enjoys "being the team" and building the function rather than managing a large department.
AI Proficiency: Demonstrated experience as an AI power user, utilizing advanced tools to optimize financial modeling, research, and documentation.
Technical Interest: A genuine interest in crypto, digital assets, or Web3 accounting. While direct experience in this sector is a plus, the ability to quickly master the nuances of on-chain finance is essential.
Builder Mentality: A proactive approach to establishing processes from scratch rather than following a pre-defined playbook.
