What You’ll Be Owning

• Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close across multiple entities, accurate, complete, and on time
• Prepare and review entity-level and consolidated financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)

• Maintain strong close discipline as transaction volumes and business lines increase

B2B Accounting & Operational Finance

• Partner closely with Commercial, Ops, and Treasury to ensure financial data reflects reality on the ground
• Translate complex B2B flows into clean, auditable accounting entries.

Accounting Operations & Controls

• Maintain tight internal controls across AP, AR, payroll, treasury, and interbusiness movements
• Ensure proper accounting treatment for crypto-related transactions (valuation, custody, fees, taxes)
• Continuously improve accounting processes to reduce manual work as volumes grow
• Keep documentation current, practical, and audit-ready

Budgeting, Forecasting & Analysis

• Support budgeting and forecasting with reliable, entity-level financial data
• Track variances and provide clear, business-relevant explanations

• Stay current on accounting, fintech, and crypto regulatory requirements

Biggest Challenges You’ll Tackle

• Managing high transaction volumes across multiple entities without losing accuracy
• Keeping B2B accounting clean as products, clients, and settlement flows increase
• Ensuring intercompany balances and eliminations stay tight as the org scales
• Accounting correctly for crypto and fiat movements in a fast-moving B2B environment
• Building structure and repeatability where things previously relied on manual work or tribal knowledge
• Balancing speed, precision, and audit-readiness, every month, not just year-end.

What We’re Looking For

• 8 - 12 years of experience in financial accounting, ideally in fintech, crypto, or tech.
• Professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent)
• Strong experience with financial reporting, audits, and close cycles
• Solid understanding of IFRS (or US GAAP)
• Comfortable with treasury, tax, and multi-entity setups
• High attention to detail, you notice what others miss
• Calm, dependable, and able to own your lane without micromanagement

Nice to Have

• Experience accounting for crypto assets or exchanges
• Familiarity with tools like QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or similar
