Company

ChainGPT

Position Type

Full‑time

Overview

ChainGPT is a blockchain and AI company that prioritizes innovation and transparency. The Accounting Specialist owns end‑to‑end accounting and core finance operations for a multi‑entity group across multiple jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Close (End‑to‑End Ownership)

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and year‑end close across entities, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.
• Maintain the general ledger: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, FX revaluation, and supporting schedules.
• Run a standard close calendar and checklist; drive the close to completion with clear deadlines and accountability.
• Maintain a monthly exceptions queue (missing invoices, unidentified flows, stale reconciliation items) and clear it consistently.
• Keep documentation audit‑ready by default, with organized evidence and clean support for every material balance or transaction.

Multi‑Entity Accounting & Intercompany

• Own bookkeeping across all entities, ensuring consistent policies, coding, and documentation standards.
• Maintain clean intercompany operations: invoicing, reconciliations, and balances, including interest accruals where applicable.
• Support arm’s‑length and related‑party hygiene with clear narratives and supporting agreements, approvals, invoices, and reconciliations.

Crypto Accounting & Reconciliation (Must Be Strong)

• Lead end‑to‑end crypto transaction accounting across wallets, exchanges, custodians, networks, and tokens.
• Ensure crypto balances are reconciled and supported with strong audit trails (wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange statements).
• Maintain clear classification rules for crypto flows (revenue vs other income, custody transfers vs external payments, gas/fees, staking/yield, airdrops, liquidity provision).
• Maintain schedules for realized vs unrealized gains/losses and cost basis/lots where needed for reporting and CPA support.

Controls, Compliance & Governance

• Implement and maintain finance controls appropriate for a lean team, including approvals and segregation of duties where feasible.
• Maintain a compliance calendar with external advisors and track recurring obligations.
• Coordinate with external accountants, auditors, tax providers, and legal counsel to support multi‑jurisdiction requirements.

Reporting & Leadership Support

• Deliver management‑ready reporting: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and concise variance narratives.
• Produce burn reporting and spend insights with top vendors, categories, drivers, and recommendations for savings and efficiency.
• Support budgeting and forecasting cadence (annual budget, rolling forecast; budget vs actual with variance explanations).

Treasury & Cash Visibility

• Maintain visibility across fiat accounts and crypto holdings; support payment operations with strong authorization and recordkeeping.
• Produce regular cash and treasury reporting – balances, upcoming obligations, runway snapshot, and operational risk flags.

Requirements

• 6+ years in accounting, controllership, or finance operations with end‑to‑end ownership of close and reporting.
• Prior experience in web3/crypto companies, exchanges, or crypto‑heavy operations – mandatory.
• Strong technical accounting foundation (IFRS/GAAP‑level knowledge relevant to the role).
• Demonstrated experience with multi‑entity accounting and operating across multiple jurisdictions.
• Crypto‑native accounting experience: wallets, exchanges, reconciliation, audit trails, and crypto‑aware controls.
• Strong documentation discipline and high integrity – audit‑ready by default.
• Comfortable operating in a lean, high‑ownership environment, executing and improving systems simultaneously.
• Excellent written communication; able to explain financial issues clearly to non‑finance stakeholders.

Required Hands‑on Experience

• Xero (core accounting) – mandatory.
• Cryptio (crypto accounting / reconciliation) – mandatory.

Nice to Have

• Bookkeeping and compliance experience in one or more of: US, St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Panama, and UAE.
• Experience supporting audits, due diligence, or fundraising processes.
• Familiarity with crypto accounting tooling beyond Cryptio and/or blockchain analytics explorers.
• Basic SQL or data proficiency for financial analysis.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• 0–30 days: Learn current processes and data flows; stabilize close; document gaps; establish a clear close calendar and core reconciliation routines.
• 31–60 days: Strengthen reconciliations (crypto + fiat) and intercompany hygiene; implement tighter controls and evidence standards; deliver consistent monthly reporting.
• 61–90 days: Run a reliable close and reporting engine; keep books audit‑ready; reduce operational risk; establish scalable accounting ops and cadence across crypto + fiat activity.

Benefits

• Work alongside the ChainGPT core team on high‑impact AI and Web3 products across the ecosystem.
• Remote‑first setup with flexible hours, focused on outcomes, trust, and ownership.
• Competitive compensation with performance‑based upside where applicable.
• Fast‑moving environment with direct collaboration across all team members, including senior management, and clear accountability without micromanagement.
• Support to do your best work, including the tools you need, structured onboarding, and clear room to grow.
