Job description

Proof-of-Skill is a blockchain-based protocol for skill verification and credentialing. We are building a trustless way to prove talent to the world. You will make sure our financial systems are as credible and compliant as the credentials we issue.

About the role

We are looking for a qualified Chartered Accountant who has handled cross-border startup finance. You will own end-to-end finance operations, compliance, audits and investor reporting for both our Indian Pvt Ltd and our US C-Corp.

If you have handled Delaware filings, GST, TDS, transfer pricing, fundraising due diligence and data room management, this role is for you.

What you will do

• Manage end-to-end accounting, audits and compliance for the Indian and US entities.
• Work with CA and CPA firms so every filing is on time (GST, TDS, Income Tax, ROC, Delaware franchise tax, IRS).
• Keep books, board resolutions and cap tables accurate across both countries.
• Run monthly closings, burn rate reports and investor dashboards.
• Support fundraising, including due diligence, SAFE and convertible note tracking, and data room setup.
• Handle vendor payments, reimbursements, international wire transfers and FX compliance.
• Build and track budgets, forecasts and financial models for planning.
• Work with banks, payment gateways and treasury platforms to keep cash flow smooth.
• Stay compliant on transfer pricing, intercompany transactions and cross-border tax.
• Work directly with the founders to match financial controls to how fast we grow.

What we are looking for

• Chartered Accountant (CA). This one is a must.
• 2 to 5 years in startup or cross-border finance.
• Strong grasp of Indian and US compliance (GST, TDS, FEMA, 409A, Delaware tax and more).
• Good understanding of fundraising instruments such as SAFEs, convertible notes and equity.
• Clear documentation and communication with people across countries.
• Comfortable with QuickBooks, Tally, Excel or Google Sheets, and Notion.
• Bonus: you have seen crypto or blockchain money flows, or treasury tools.

Who does well here

• Very detail-oriented, organised and proactive.
• Comfortable when things are unclear and moving fast.
• Takes full ownership and can work async across time zones.
• Ethical, discreet and trusted with sensitive financial data.
• A builder. You want to set up systems, not just maintain them.
