Financial Accountant
Bridge traditional accounting and digital assets at Ethena — own reconciliations, month-end close and audit readiness as we scale a robust finance operation.
The Role
As a Financial Accountant, your mission is to assist the Head of Finance in scaling a robust, Web3-native accounting and control environment. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that the organization accurately captures, classifies, and reconciles both fiat and onchain financial activity across multiple entities and products.
When you join, you’ll be a core part of the Finance Team. This position owns the core accounting operations, ranging from transaction recording and complex reconciliations to month end close support and audit readiness. Reporting directly to the Head of Finance, you will work to bridge the gap between traditional general ledger systems and crypto data sources. This is an ideal role for a detail oriented accounting professional looking to deepen their expertise in the evolving digital asset landscape.
What You’ll Do
Reliably record purchase, sales, intercompany, and treasury transactions across fiat and digital asset accounts. You will ensure precise coding, VAT/tax treatment, and the maintenance of robust supporting documentation.
Perform recurring reconciliations across bank accounts, custodians, exchanges, and on-chain wallets. You will investigate breaks and clear unmatched items to improve reconciliation support files.
Support the link between Web3 accounting software and the general ledger. You will validate transaction completeness and investigate mismatches using blockchain explorers.
Assist with multi entity consolidation by preparing entity level schedules, intercompany reconciliations, and data packs for group reporting and regulatory requests.
Prepare transaction schedules for VAT and tax filings. You will work to reduce follow-up queries from local accountants and maintain an "audit ready" trail of evidence.
Prepare and post accruals, prepayments, and depreciation entries to enhance the quality and consistency of the month end close process.
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience in a financial accounting role, preferably within a multi-entity or international environment where you’ll have had responsibilities in IFRS and financial accounting operations. You must be able to execute recurring tasks with a sharp eye for supporting documentation.
A mindset geared toward identifying inefficiencies and suggesting practical improvements to scaling workflows in executing payment runs and monitoring balance movements across bank accounts, custodians, exchanges, and stablecoin wallets.
Knowledge of blockchain explorers (e.g., Etherscan) to verify transfers. Experience with (or a strong desire to learn) crypto sub-ledgers like Cryptio, Cryptoworth, or Tres.
Experience of organizing working papers and maintaining a structured audit trail that meets institutional requirements.
