About the role

  • Serve as the company’s primary decision-maker on U.S. GAAP matters, owning the drafting and defense of technical accounting positions across digital asset valuation and impairment, M&A, revenue recognition (ASC 606) for protocol- and product-based revenue streams, and token-based compensation (ASC 718), including grant-date determination, valuation, vesting, and modifications.
  • Develop and maintain accounting policies, technical memos, internal controls, and documentation for complex areas such as token lifecycle events (minting, vesting, burning, distributions, staking rewards).
  • Monitor evolving SEC, FASB, and global regulatory developments and ensure internal policies remain compliant and current.
  • Lead the company’s annual financial statement audit, with a focus on digital asset substantiation, wallet verification, valuation methodologies, and control testing.
  • Partner closely with external auditors, blockchain accounting specialists, and valuation experts, while personally owning and defending accounting conclusions, documentation, and audit support for complex accounting matters.
  • Build and maintain a robust internal audit-readiness framework, ensuring all financial reporting processes are well-documented, supportable, and scalable.
  • Prepare and manage PBC lists, walkthroughs, controls documentation, and technical support packages.
  • Assess current accounting systems, subledgers, and reporting workflows; identify opportunities for modernization or optimization.
  • Lead system upgrades, architectural redesigns, or the implementation of new books/subledgers (e.g., digital asset modules, treasury tooling).
  • Strengthen internal controls, documentation, and compliance processes to support reliability, scalability, and transparency.
  • Partner with FinOps, Treasury, FP&A, and Legal to ensure integrated and well-controlled end-to-end financial processes.
  • Strengthen control environments across all entities, supporting both operational workflows and audit requirements.
  • Review and elevate the technical accuracy of monthly and quarterly financial reporting outputs, partnering with the Senior Accounting Manager who leads operational close activities.
  • Support preparation of financial statements, footnotes, and token-related disclosures in line with U.S. GAAP.
  • Provide accounting guidance to leadership, FP&A, and cross-functional partners to support strategic decision-making and new product initiatives.

Requirements

  • 7-10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with strong technical accounting exposure (Big 4 + industry strongly preferred).
  • Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP, with demonstrated ability to independently interpret U.S. GAAP, draft technical memos, and defend accounting positions during audit.
  • CPA required.
  • Accounting experience working with digital assets, blockchain-based transactions, or Web3 treasury operations—or supporting such clients in an advisory capacity.
  • Strong understanding of digital asset valuation, impairment, fair value concepts, and cost-basis tracking.
  • Hands-on experience managing external audits and coordinating with technical specialists.
  • Deep knowledge on Netsuite and crypto subledger systems.
