We are 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 will be accountable for audit‑ready books, disciplined controls, and compliant reporting across crypto and fiat activity, working closely with leadership. Some operational details will be shared later in the process (under NDA where required).

• 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 and clear it consistently.
• Keep documentation audit‑ready by default.

• Own bookkeeping across all entities; ensure consistent policies, coding, and documentation standards.
• Maintain clean intercompany operations: invoicing, intercompany reconciliations, and balances.
• Support arm‑s‑length and related‑party hygiene with clear narratives and support.

• 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.
• Maintain clear classification rules for crypto flows (e.g., revenue vs other income, custody transfers, gas/fees, staking/yield, airdrops, liquidity provision).
• Maintain schedules for realized vs unrealized gains/losses and cost basis/lots where needed for reporting.

• Implement and maintain finance controls appropriate for a lean team.
• Maintain a compliance calendar and ensure recurring obligations are tracked and supported.
• Coordinate with external accountants, auditors, tax providers, and legal counsel.

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

• 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, operational risk flags).

• 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).
• 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.
• Excellent written communication; able to explain financial issues clearly to non‑finance stakeholders.

• Xero (core accounting) – mandatory.
• Cryptio (crypto accounting / reconciliation) – mandatory.

• Bookkeeping and compliance experience across US, SVG, Panama, and UAE.
• Experience supporting audits, due diligence, or fundraising processes.
• Familiarity with crypto accounting tooling beyond Cryptio and/or blockchain analytics explorers.
