Head of Finance

Overview

This role leads Finance, including FP&A, accounting, treasury, and regulatory reporting, for a regulated stablecoin infrastructure organization at a stage where finance processes, tooling, and team design directly impact scalability. Reporting directly to the COO, this is a hands-on, builder-focused position—someone who has built and matured a finance function rather than inheriting one.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the finance team by developing and working hands-on across:
  • FP&A
  • accounting
  • treasury
  • regulatory reporting
• Own forecasting, budgeting, and board-level reporting, translating financial data into strategic narratives for the CEO, board, and leadership team.
• Oversee accounting operations and controls, including transitioning from outsourced bookkeeping to a fully in-house, audit-ready close process.
• Own and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close to increase speed, accuracy, and control while delivering timely, audit-ready financial results.
• Define treasury strategy and oversee cash management, liquidity, and rebalancing activities tied to reserve systems.
• Own regulatory and compliance reporting for reserve programs, including the quarterly call report and monthly filings, in close partnership with Compliance.
• Establish resilient coverage across treasury execution and regulatory reporting so critical work does not depend on any single person, balancing yield maximization with operating liquidity (cash) needs.

What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)

• Demonstrate command of end-to-end funds flows, including corporate cash and customer reserves across fiat and on-chain rails, and use this to improve liquidity management, controls, and payment execution.
• Run forecasting, budgeting, and board reporting on a predictable cadence that is fully owned by the role.
• Establish a reliable monthly close cadence that consistently produces accurate, timely, and audit-ready financial results.
• Maintain audit-ready financials, controls, and supporting documentation; if an external audit occurs during the first six months, lead it through completion without significant deficiencies.
• Complete the transition so accounting is fully in-house and audit-ready.
• Put in place documented procedures for treasury execution and regulatory reporting, including named backups and tested cross-coverage to eliminate single-person dependencies.

Requirements

• 8+ years of progressive finance experience, including direct, hands-on ownership of FP&A and accounting (with or without a separate controller), not just directing others.
• Experience owning treasury or cash/liquidity management across multiple banking relationships and trading systems/portals.
• Exposure to on-chain or custodial rails (wallets, exchanges, custodians, USDC/USDT/etc) is a strong plus.
• Ability to own accounting controls and the close process directly, even without a CPA.
• Strong depth in forecasting and budgeting, with proven ability to translate numbers into executive- and board-ready narratives.
• Proven experience building and developing high-performing finance teams, including setting clear accountability, coaching direct reports, and creating scalable operating rhythms.
• Experience presenting directly to executives, boards, and investors.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience managing complex payment flows across corporate and customer funds, including timing, sequencing, settlement, and multiple payment rails, while meeting liquidity and control requirements.
• Familiarity with digital asset or stablecoin accounting (reserve reconciliation, fair-value treatment). Direct experience is a plus.
• Strong interest and aptitude to learn.
• CPA or MBA.
