Job description

Animoca Brands Corporation Limited (ACN: 122 921 813) is a Web3 leader that leverages tokenization and blockchain to deliver digital property rights to consumers, helping to establish the open metaverse and its associated network effects. Animoca Brands realizes its mission via three integrated business pillars: operating Web3 businesses to advance blockchain adoption with native projects such as Moca Network, Anichess, The Sandbox, Open Campus, NEOM Web3 initiatives, and a regulated stablecoin project in partnership with Standard Chartered and HKT; providing digital asset advisory services including tokenomics advisory, liquidity provisioning, and institutional research to help external Web3 projects grow; and investment management, with a portfolio of investments in over 540 companies including industry leaders Pudgy Penguins, Yuga Labs, Axie Infinity, Polygon, Consensys, Magic Eden, OpenSea, Dapper Labs, YGG, and many others.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Finance Manager with strong accounting fundamentals and hands‑on experience in crypto/blockchain transactions. This is an execution-focused role: you will process, reconcile, and report on digital asset activity, and provide day-to-day finance support as we build out our Web3 operations.

You will work closely with senior finance stakeholders on crypto accounting processes and system implementations, applying IFRS to a fast‑evolving digital asset environment.

Responsibilities:

• Perform reconciliations of digital asset holdings and transactions, including transaction matching, wallet-to-ledger reconciliation, and resolution of reconciling items
• Prepare and post journal entries for crypto transactions (token receipts, swaps, staking rewards, gas fees, DeFi yield, impairment) in accordance with IFRS
• Deliver ad hoc financial statements (income statement, balance sheet) for crypto-native entities, built from the ground up
• Prepare digital asset schedules, accruals, and supporting documentation for monthly, quarterly, and annual close
• Streamline and optimise the month-end close process, improving efficiency and strengthening internal controls
• Support crypto accounting system implementation by testing configurations, validating data migration, and documenting process workflows
• Work with Product, Legal, and Operations to understand crypto transaction flows and translate them into finance‑ready processes
• Respond to audit requests and prepare supporting documentation for crypto‑related balances and transactions
• Stay current on regulatory, tax, and IFRS developments affecting crypto

Requirements:

• Professional certification (e.g., CPA, ACCA, CFA) or equivalent
• Solid understanding of IFRS accounting principles, practices, and regulations relevant to crypto assets
• Working knowledge of crypto transaction flows, wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols
• Strong Excel/reconciliation skills and comfort working with large volumes of transactional data
• Experience supporting finance/ERP or crypto accounting system implementations (testing, data validation, documentation)
• Detail‑oriented and proactive in identifying and resolving discrepancies
• Clear communicator, able to explain crypto concepts to non‑technical finance colleagues
• Collaborative team player, comfortable working independently and navigating ambiguity
• Experience with data analytics tools (e.g., SQL and Python) to support data extraction and analysis
• Prior experience in a crypto‑native company, Web3 project, or digital asset finance team is preferred
• Exposure to fast‑paced, high‑growth, or entrepreneurial environments, and a genuine interest in blockchain, Web3, and digital entertainment
