In this role, you will lead our FP&A, accounting, tax, treasury, and regulatory reporting streams.

• Audit & Examinations: Lead financial preparation for regulatory exams (including NY DFS examination cycles), external SOC 1/2 audits, and annual statutory audits.

• Asset Segregation: Establish and monitor financial controls ensuring complete separation of customer funds from corporate operational capital across fiat banking rails and crypto custody architectures.

2. Digital Asset Treasury & Liquidity Management

• Crypto & Fiat Treasury: Manage multi-currency fiat banking relationships alongside on-chain digital asset liquidity (stables, native tokens, hot/cold wallet balancing).

• Reconciliation: Oversee automated on-chain-to-off-chain financial reconciliations between blockchain ledger data, custodial partners, payment gateways, and core general ledgers.

• Counterparty Risk: Assess and manage counterparty risk across banking partners, OTC desks, exchanges, and custody providers.

3. Financial Planning, Analysis & Corporate Strategy

• FP&A: Lead budgeting, long-range financial modeling, unit economics forecasting, and scenario planning (e.g., crypto cycle stress-testing).

• Executive & Board Partnering: Prepare board materials, executive performance dashboards, and data-driven narratives explaining financial results and regulatory position.

• Fundraising Support: Assist the leadership team in equity/debt fundraising efforts, diligence data room management, and investor relations.

4. Accounting, Tax & Governance

• Controllership & GAAP: Oversee monthly/quarterly close under US GAAP, including technical accounting treatments for digital assets (fair value, impairment, staking, and transaction fees).

• Tax Strategy: Manage corporate, state, local, and international tax strategies, including state apportionment and crypto transaction tax implications.

• Internal Controls: Establish robust internal financial controls, anti-fraud safeguards, and approval policies scaled for high transaction volumes.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of progressive finance leadership in fintech, payments, banking, or crypto financial services.

• Regulated Entity Expertise: Direct experience handling Money Transmitter Licenses (MTL) , NMLS reporting, or state/federal financial regulator examinations (e.g., NY DFS, FinCEN).

• Digital Asset Knowledge: Deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals, digital asset accounting standards, custody structures, and crypto market mechanics.

• Technical Rigor: Advanced financial modeling, FP&A capabilities, and mastery of US GAAP.

• Education & Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics. Active CPA or CFA designation strongly preferred.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience scaling a finance team at a venture-backed Series B to Series D startup.

• Background in institutional FX, cross-border payment corridors, or stablecoin issuance.

• Proficiency with crypto-native accounting software (e.g., Bitwave, Cryptio) and modern ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite).

Compensation & Benefits (NYC Compliant)

• Base Salary Range: $100,000 – $200,000 / year (commensurate with experience).
