Role
Who you are
- We are looking for more than a standard GAAP researcher; we need a Financial Architect who excels as both an analytical investigator and an operational leader in the role of Senior Manager, Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting
- Background: Proven track record transitioning from Big 4 Audit/Technical Desks into Accounting Advisory (e.g., CFGI, FTI, EY, KPMG) or In-House Accounting leadership at a high-growth digital assets firm, FinTech startup, broker-dealer, or Investment Bank
- Regulated Entities Expertise: Direct, hands-on experience handling financial record keeping, regulatory capital computations, and filing frameworks for a CFTC Swap Dealer, Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), or SEC Broker-Dealer
- People & Project Management: Experience managing multiple departments or workstreams, with a proven ability to lead large, high-priority projects and delegate effectively to direct reports or offshore teams
- Reconstructive Mindset: You enjoy the "puzzle" of managing and building legal entity financials from high-volume, unstructured data sources
- Technical Stack: Proficiency in Workiva and NetSuite
- Subject Matter Expertise: Direct experience with SEC Pre-clearance, Purchase Accounting (ASC 805), and DeFi Accounting
- Product Diplomacy: The ability to partner cross-functionally with Trading and BizDev teams to assess and operationalize the accounting impact of DeFi yields and "wrapped" assets before they launch
What the job involves
- Reporting to the Head of Accounting, you will manage critical workstreams within our financial reporting function during a period of significant institutional scaling
- In this Senior Manager leadership role, you will take the lead in directing key accounting policies , manage cross-functional projects, and lead teams (including offshore resources) to ensure strict compliance with U.S. GAAP and regulatory requirements
- You aren’t just maintaining books - you are building and managing a definitive "source of truth" within a complex, high-volume trading and regulated derivatives environment
- This role is a 50/50 split between serving as an advanced technical expert and an operational manager, bridging the gap between cutting-edge trading desks and institutional-grade, regulated financial statements
- Operational Leadership & Strategy: Manage technical accounting and reporting workstreams; set clear operational objectives, delegate tasks effectively, and oversee departmental schedules and budgets to ensure flawless execution
- Financial Normalization: Direct the forensic review and reconciliation of complex historical data, leading internal and external resources to ensure a robust, "audit-ready" foundation
- Advanced Technical Research: Act as a core 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 project management and drafting of sophisticated financial disclosures and MD&A for potential registration statements, S-1/F-1 prospectus disclosures, and SEC engagements
- Global Systems Optimization: Design, implement, and monitor SOPs for offshore teams and direct reports, while tightening the integration between our crypto sub-ledgers and NetSuite to improve month-end cadence
