Senior Accountant, Financial Operations
"About The Role"
About This Role
This is a rare opportunity to shape accounting infrastructure from the ground up at a foundation driving decentralized innovation forward. Reporting to the Controller, you'll own how money flows across two entities and two accounting standards — designing the processes rather than inheriting them. If you love turning financial chaos into clean, scalable systems, this role was built for you.
What You'll Be Doing
Own Procure-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash cycles end-to-end — diagnosing bottlenecks and implementing real fixes, not just managing queues
Lead the rollout of a new expense management and bill pay platform while integrating agentic procurement tools and automating accounts receivable
Control organizational spend by managing corporate card programs and turning policy into enforced process
Maintain a clean general ledger across Swiss and US entities, ensuring compliance with respective GAAP standards
Lead reconciliations spanning both traditional banking and onchain wallet activity — a true hybrid of TradFi and crypto accounting
Drive month-end close, financial reporting, and budget-vs-actual analysis to support strategic decision-making across the Finance team
What We're Looking For
A qualified CPA with 3–5 years of combined public accounting and industry experience, ideally with exposure to financial reporting in fast-moving environments
Hands-on proficiency with Xero, QuickBooks, or similar platforms, plus comfort working in Airtable or automation-centric databases
A builder's mindset — you don't wait for broken processes to be fixed, you fix them
Strong understanding of GL management, reconciliations, and internal controls across multiple entities
Excellent communication skills to translate complex financial operations into clear, actionable insights
Bonus Points
Prior experience in blockchain, crypto, or decentralized finance (DeFi) organizations
Familiarity with onchain transaction tracking and wallet reconciliation processes
Experience integrating fintech or automation tools into existing accounting workflows
Exposure to multi-jurisdictional accounting standards (US GAAP and Swiss GAAP)
Why Join Us
Join a mission-driven nonprofit at the center of the Solana blockchain ecosystem, shaping the future of decentralized networks
Fully remote role with flexibility and autonomy to design process architecture your way
Direct exposure to cutting-edge crypto financial operations, including onchain reconciliation and smart contract-adjacent workflows
Significant growth potential as the finance function scales alongside one of web3's most prominent foundations
