As one of the first crypto firms in the Philippine market, we feel a sense of duty to our users and to the ecosystem to set the standard for safety, ease of access, and reliability. We expect our team to share in this responsibility and cherish our vision of a more open and equitable financial system.

We are looking for new team members that are passionate about cryptocurrency, want to work in a disruptive, fast-growing industry, and thrive in a start-up environment.

If this sounds like you, then we’d love to talk.

About The Role

The Controllership Manager will oversee the end-to-end accounting operations, financial reporting accuracy, internal controls, and regulatory compliance at PDAX. This role acts as a bridge between traditional financial controllership and complex crypto-asset accounting - ensuring that fiat and digital asset balances, exchange transactions, and regulatory reserves are reconciled with precision.

General Responsibilities

Financial Control & Accounting Operations

• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial closing processes, ensuring strict compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS/IFRS) and local tax regulations.
• Manage line-item accounting functions: Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, Revenue Recognition, Expense Accruals, and Intercompany accounts.
• Design and implement tailored controllership frameworks for digital assets, including crypto revenue recognition, fair value accounting, and impairment assessments under current accounting standards.

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Management

• Lead regulatory financial reporting submissions required by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
• Manage internal and external financial audits, serving as the primary point of contact for external audit firms.
• Stay current on evolving local regulations and global GAAP/IFRS guidelines related to digital assets, stablecoins, and fintech operations.

Governance, Risk, & Internal Controls

• Design, implement, and audit internal financial controls to prevent fraud, operational loss, and accounting errors.
• Partner with Product, Operations, and other relevant teams to evaluate the accounting and control implications of new product launches (e.g., new token listings, staking, remittance products).

Team Leadership & Process Optimization

• Lead, mentor, and build a high-performing controllership and accounting team.
• Drive automation initiatives across financial operations by integrating ERP systems with exchange trading back-ends and blockchain tracking tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential is strongly preferred.
• 5–7 years of progressive accounting and controllership experience, with at least 3 years in a managerial or lead capacity.
• Solid working knowledge of general ledger accounting, month-end close, and financial reporting fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP.
• Experience in a high-transaction-volume industry (fintech, payments, crypto, e-commerce, or similar) preferred.
• Familiarity with on-chain data, wallet architecture, and digital asset accounting methodologies.
• Comfortable working with large data sets and reconciling discrepancies across multiple systems.
• Detail-oriented with strong ownership of accuracy and deadlines; able to work well under a fast-moving close calendar.
• Prior exposure to digital assets or crypto accounting is a plus but not required.

Our Culture

Communication

• We prioritize clear and transparent communication, ensuring that there is clarity among everyone we work with.
• We aim to have a collaborative environment, where innovative ideas in investment strategies are shared openly and constructively, driving the industry forward.

Customer-focus

• We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, constantly learning from and listening to them, and always striving to look out for what’s best for both sides.

• We are dedicated to the long-term success of our clients in the dynamic world of financial technology, maintaining integrity and professionalism in every aspect of our work.
