The Role

We’re hiring a hands‑on Accounting Specialist to own end‑to‑end accounting and core finance operations for a multi‑entity group operating across multiple jurisdictions. This is an operator role: you’ll be accountable for audit‑ready books, disciplined controls, and compliant reporting across crypto and fiat activity, working closely with leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Close (End‑to‑End Ownership)

• Own the monthly/quarterly/year‑end close across entities, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
• Maintain the general ledger: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, FX revaluation, and supporting schedules
• Run a standard close calendar and checklist; drive the close to completion with clear deadlines and accountability
• Maintain a monthly exceptions queue (missing invoices, unidentified flows, stale reconciliation items) and clear it consistently
• Keep documentation audit‑ready by default (organized evidence chain and clean support for every material balance/transaction)

Multi‑Entity Accounting & Intercompany

• Own bookkeeping across all entities; ensure consistent policies, coding, and documentation standards
• Maintain clean intercompany operations: invoicing, intercompany reconciliations, and balances (including interest accruals where applicable)
• Support arm’s‑length and related‑party hygiene with clear narratives and support (agreements, approvals, invoices, and reconciliations)

Crypto Accounting & Reconciliation (Must Be Strong)

• Lead end‑to‑end crypto transaction accounting across wallets, exchanges/custodians, networks, and tokens
• Ensure crypto balances are reconciled and supported with strong audit trails (wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange statements, etc.)
• Maintain clear classification rules for crypto flows (e.g., revenue vs other income, custody transfers vs external payments, gas/fees, staking/yield, airdrops, liquidity provision)
• Maintain schedules for realized vs unrealized gains/losses and cost basis/lots where needed for reporting and CPA support

Controls, Compliance & Governance

• 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

Reporting & Leadership Support

• Deliver clear, management‑ready reporting: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and concise variance narratives
• Produce burn reporting and spend insights (top vendors/categories, drivers, and recommendations for savings and efficiency)
• Support budgeting and forecasting cadence (annual budget + rolling forecast; budget vs actual with variance explanations)

Treasury & Cash Visibility

• Maintain visibility across fiat accounts and crypto holdings; support payment operations with strong authorization and recordkeeping
• Produce regular cash/treasury reporting (balances, upcoming obligations, runway snapshot, and operational risk flags)

Requirements

• 6+ years in accounting/controllership/finance operations roles, with end‑to‑end ownership of close and reporting
• Prior experience in web3/crypto companies, exchanges, or crypto‑heavy operations - Mandatory
• Strong technical accounting foundation (IFRS/GAAP‑level knowledge relevant to the role)
• Demonstrated experience with multi‑entity accounting and operating across multiple jurisdictions
• Crypto‑native accounting experience: wallets/exchanges, reconciliation, audit trails, and crypto‑aware controls
• Strong documentation discipline and high integrity (audit‑ready by default)
• Comfortable operating in a lean, high‑ownership environment—able to execute and improve systems simultaneously
• Excellent written communication; able to explain financial issues clearly to non‑finance stakeholders

Required Hands‑on Experience

• Xero
