Requirements

• Experience:
  
  10+ years of relevant tax experience. A background in a Big 4 accounting firm is highly preferred, ideally combined with in-house experience at a multinational corporation
• Education & Certification:
  Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA and/or MST is strongly preferred
• Technical Mastery:
  Deep subject matter expertise in ASC 740 (Tax Provision) and US GAAP is non-negotiable. You must be comfortable navigating complex tax accounting issues without supervision

  Demonstrated success in "Tax Operations" - you know how to build calendars, manage workflows, and utilize technology to reduce manual errors
• Communication:
  Excellent written communication skills, specifically the ability to translate complex tax accounting concepts into clear updates for non-tax stakeholders
• Crypto Interest:
  While prior professional experience in crypto is not required, a genuine personal passion for Web3, blockchain, and the digital asset space is essential
• (Desirable) You love the "nuts and bolts" of tax accounting and take pride in a perfectly tied-out workpaper
• (Desirable) You function best as a "counterpart" to leadership - you handle the technical execution so the team can move fast
• (Desirable) You are hands-on:
  You don't just delegate to vendors; you dig into the details to ensure the work is right
• (Desirable) You thrive in high-growth environments where you must build processes from scratch rather than just inherit them
• We encourage all those interested in applying to our organization to submit an application regardless if you are missing some of the listed background requirements, skills, or experiences!
