Assistant to the Lead of External Accounting

We are looking for an Assistant to the Lead of External Accounting to become a key member of our External Accounting team.

This is not a traditional accounting position. We are looking for someone with a strong accounting background, an IT mindset, and a passion for using Artificial Intelligence to solve complex accounting challenges.

You will work directly with the Lead of External Accounting to build, automate, and continuously improve the company's crypto accounting processes. Rather than maintaining an existing system, you will help design new methodologies, investigate complex accounting scenarios, and implement AI-driven solutions that significantly reduce manual work.

Previous crypto accounting experience is welcome but not required. We value strong accounting expertise, technical curiosity, and the ability to independently research new topics and develop practical solutions.

Who You Are

Instead, you are someone who has:

• a strong foundation as a Chief Accountant or senior accounting professional;
• an IT background or strong technical aptitude;
• excellent analytical and research skills;
• curiosity and a willingness to learn new business models and technologies;
• the ability to leverage AI to solve accounting problems and automate repetitive work.

You enjoy investigating complex financial data, connecting information from multiple sources, and building efficient, scalable processes instead of relying on manual accounting routines.

What Success Looks Like

Working together with the Lead of External Accounting, you will help build an AI-driven crypto accounting function capable of:

• transforming bank, exchange, wallet, and blockchain data into accurate accounting records;
• automating accounting entries and reconciliation processes;
• investigating and eliminating clearing account balances;
• creating reliable, audit-ready accounting records with minimal manual intervention;
• continuously improving accounting efficiency through AI and automation.

This role is ideal for an accounting professional who wants to be at the intersection of Finance, Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Crypto and help shape the future of accounting.
