  • On-Chain Intelligence: Bridge the gap between raw custodial data and GAAP reporting, ensuring every transaction is traceable to its original source.
  • Advanced Technical Research: Act as the internal authority on ASC 606 and 805, specifically regarding principal vs. agent nuances, M&A integrations, and DeFi yield protocols.
  • Capital Markets Readiness: Lead the drafting of sophisticated financial disclosures and MD&A for potential registration statements and SEC engagement. Lead the drafting of S-1/F-1 prospectus disclosures.

Product Diplomacy: The ability to partner with Trading and BizDev teams to assess the accounting impact of DeFi yields and "wrapped" assets before they launch.

Leadership: Proven ability to create SOPs for offshore teams to improve month-end cadence.

Qualifications

Background: Experience transitioning from Big 4 Audit/Technical Desks into Accounting Advisory (e.g., CFGI, FTI, EY, KPMG, FTI) or In-House Accounting at a high-growth digital assets firm, FinTech start up, broker dealer or Investment Bank.

Skills

Proficiency in Workiva, NetSuite, and crypto sub-ledgers (Luca, TaxBit, or BitWave).
