We are a remote-first company with over 180 incredible team members, more than 800 clients, and a commitment to Accelerating Dreams.

  • You will help bridge the gap between legacy financial thinking and new blockchain-based ecosystems, functions and capital flows.
  • You will be supporting our startup clients who need high-level finance help but may not have a need for a full-time internal CFO at their current stage.

  • You will be managing the entire Finance function for your clients, so you'll want to be comfortable managing a team.
  • You will have the opportunity to build out robust processes and systems for our clients. So understanding + embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is a must.

  • You are a communicator at your core. Impeccable written and verbal communication is a critical cornerstone of this role.
  • You lead with integrity in all that you say and do.
  • You take initiative and jump at the opportunity to explore new ways of doing things.
  • You take an acutely accurate approach to your work and look forward to the parts of your job that require analytical thinking and planning ahead.
  • You are an expert collaborator! You ask for and give feedback regularly.
  • You know and love technology. You possess a strong working knowledge of a variety of systems + tools and quickly learn how to navigate through new ones.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have experience with and a passion for working with rapidly growing startups and their founders.
  • You have a Bachelor's degree, MBA preferred, and over 5 years of experience in a high-level Finance role.
  • Core Competencies

  • You understand current financial, regulatory & tax landscape, and are passably familiar with the jurisdictional complexities of organizations in this space.
  • You have a love for all things high-level finance. For example, you should be able to work through the following :
  • You can lead client fundraising efforts evaluating the size of a fundraising round, model cap table scenarios / dilution, assist with pitch deck preparation, facilitate investor introductions, and participate in investor pitches.

  • You can drive comprehensive reporting of financial performance, metrics, and KPIs.
  • You have strong finance-based modeling & analytical skills.
  • You can seamlessly juggle hard-hitting CFO deliverables while building strong client relationships.
