  • Support token operations, including warrant tracking, token vesting, treasury management, and coordination with token administration platforms.
  • Collaborate with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning for both fiat and crypto assets.
  • Ensure compliance and risk management across all financial operations, including custody, KYC/AML practices, and digital asset handling.
  • Prepare investor and board materials, summarizing key financial metrics, burn, and strategic initiatives.
  • Partner with legal and finance teams to support fundraising, audits, and due diligence processes.

  • Proven ability to design and implement accounting processes in a startup setting.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to explain complex financial topics clearly.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently.
