Requirements
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including time in fast-scaling or complex, multi-entity environments. • Deep US GAAP technical accounting knowledge with a demonstrated ability to research, conclude and document complex issues. • Proven ability to partner directly with Product and Engineering teams on financial system design, fund flow architecture or platform build‑outs, as well as with GTM teams on quote‑to‑cash and revenue recognition. • Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can make an accountant’s concern legible to an engineer, and an engineer’s constraint legible to an auditor or regulator. • Comfortable moving fast and making decisions with incomplete information, then updating your view as the facts change. • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to drive process efficiency to automate reconciliations, financial close tasks and reporting workflows to reduce manual effort • Experience in a fintech, crypto‑native company or regulated financial services environment (banking, payments, broker‑dealer, trust company) is a plus.
Responsibilities
• Own the close and financial statements. Drive the monthly, quarterly and annual close end-to-end for all Paxos entities, ensuring timely, accurate financials with zero tolerance for material misstatements. Prepare and review financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and, where required, local reporting requirements. • Set and defend accounting policy. Lead technical accounting research for new products, transactions and structures; conclude and document positions; and translate complex conclusions into clear policies, processes and system requirements. Stay ahead of regulatory developments at FASB, SEC and OCC that affect how Paxos accounts for its business. • Own financial audit and controls. Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors from planning through final sign-off. Design, implement and maintain a strong internal controls framework that is fit for an OCC‑regulated trust company and support regulatory examinations and inquiries. • Be a financial architecture partner for the business. Work with Product and Engineering at the design phase of new products, features and fund flows to ensure accounting treatment is understood, the platform can support it, and data flows enable accurate and timely financial reporting. • Shape quote-to-cash and revenue recognition. Partner with commercial and legal teams to design scalable quote‑to‑cash processes and ensure commercial contracts support the desired revenue recognition outcomes. • Build the team and infrastructure. Manage and develop a team of accounting professionals, hiring ahead of the need. Drive automation and process improvement so close, reconciliation and reporting scale with the business without proportional headcount growth.
