Description

We are looking for an Assistant Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations and the monthly close process across our global entity structure. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thrives on precision, structure, and operational excellence in fast-moving environments.

You will work closely with finance leadership and cross-functional partners to ensure our books are clean, processes are scalable, and financial reporting is reliable as the organization grows. This is a force-multiplier role with visibility across the business and the opportunity to grow into broader responsibilities over time.

Responsibilities

  • Execute and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit readiness.
  • Maintain the general ledger in NetSuite, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and intercompany activity.
  • Reconcile bank accounts, corporate cards, payroll, and other balance sheet accounts.

Day-to-Day Accounting & Systems

  • Own accounts payable and receivable workflows, including vendor onboarding, invoice processing, and payment runs using tools like Ramp.
  • Partner with payroll providers (e.g., ADP) to ensure accurate payroll, benefits, bonus, and equity-related accounting.
  • Maintain clean subledgers and supporting schedules that tie directly to the GL.

Crypto-Native Accounting & Complexity

  • Account for token activity, including transfers, incentives, and related expense recognition, ensuring alignment between on-chain activity and the general ledger.
  • Support crypto-specific accounting workflows and reconciliations as the business evolves.
  • Partner with external specialists as needed on digital asset accounting considerations.

Tax, Audit & Compliance Support

  • Support corporate tax filings (U.S. and international) by preparing schedules, documentation, and reconciliations.
  • Work with external tax, audit, and advisory firms to support annual audits, reviews, and special projects.
  • Ensure accounting policies and procedures align with US GAAP and scale with the business.

Build for Scale

  • Document accounting processes and controls, creating clarity and repeatability as the team grows.
  • Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks , and proactively design better workflows and controls.
  • Act as a trusted accounting partner to finance leadership and cross-functional teams.

Requirements

  • 5–8+ years of experience in accounting, ideally with a mix of public accounting and in-house experience.
  • Strong working knowledge of NetSuite and month-end close in a multi-entity environment.
  • Hands-on experience with modern finance tools such as Ramp (or similar) and ADP (or similar payroll providers).
  • Solid understanding of US GAAP, balance sheet accounting, and close best practices (CPA preferred, not required).
  • Comfortable operating in high-growth, ambiguous environments where processes are built, not inherited.
  • Detail-oriented, highly organized, and obsessed with accuracy , you close loops and don’t let issues linger.
  • Clear communicator who can explain accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders.
