About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Accountant who is excited to build Coinflow's accounting foundation from the ground up. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in unstructured environments and wants to design the processes, policies, and controls that will scale with the company. You'll be our first dedicated accounting hire, which means you'll have real ownership over how we set up our books, prepare for audits, and build the infrastructure to support Coinflow's rapid growth.
This role doesn't require prior startup experience, but you must be energized by ambiguity, comfortable making judgment calls without a playbook, and genuinely excited about the crypto and digital payments space. You'll partner closely with Finance leadership and work cross-functionally with teams across the company.
What You'll Do
Accounting Foundation & Process Design
Build and own Coinflow's core accounting processes, including month-end close, reconciliations, and general ledger management
Develop accounting policies and documentation that reflect best practices and position the company for future audits
Evaluate, select, and implement the accounting systems and tooling that will serve as Coinflow's financial backbone - you'll own the decision on ERP, expense management, and close tools as we scale
Controls & Audit Readiness
Design and implement internal controls across key financial processes
Prepare the company for its first external audit, including documentation, schedules, and auditor coordination
Ensure compliance with tax filings and regulatory requirements
Financial Planning Support
Partner with Finance leadership on budgeting and forecasting
Support expense management and cost discipline as the company scales
Prepare ad-hoc financial reports and models to support leadership decision-making
What We're Looking For
3–5 years of experience at a Big 4 accounting firm (audit or advisory), with exposure to high-growth or technology clients
CPA strongly preferred; candidates who have passed the CPA exam or are actively pursuing licensure will also be considered
Strong technical accounting skills, particularly around revenue recognition and complex transaction flows
Experience evaluating and implementing accounting systems (e.g., NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks) - you have opinions on what good tooling looks like at different stages of growth
Experience with or genuine passion for crypto, Web3, or digital payments - you're excited about the space, not just the role
A builder's mindset - you're energized by creating structure where none exists and thrive without a playbook
Excellent communicator who can translate accounting concepts for non-finance stakeholders
Self-starter with a bias toward ownership and problem-solving in fast-moving environments
Bonus: Prior experience with digital asset accounting, payment processing companies, or fintech startups
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary
Meaningful equity package
Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) plan
Flexible PTO
A high-impact role with direct access to company leadership and the opportunity to shape Coinflow's financial foundation from day one
Join the team rewriting how money moves worldwide—and become a driving force in the $194 trillion cross-border payments market.
