About the Opportunity

Darien Advisors is seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to support accounting, financial reporting, and month-end close activities across a portfolio of growing and technically complex clients.

This opportunity is designed for someone who can take ownership of accounting deliverables, work through incomplete or complicated financial records, identify inconsistencies, and produce accurate, well-supported financial information.

The ideal candidate will bring strong accounting fundamentals, experience with cloud-based accounting systems, and the judgment to recognize when a matter requires additional research, documentation, correction, or escalation.

Experience with cryptocurrency or digital-asset accounting is preferred, but this is not solely a crypto-subledger position. We also welcome experienced accountants who are prepared to develop fluency in digital-asset activity and its impact on financial reporting.
