Job description

Overview

Join the premier crypto‑native accounting firm recognized by Forbes as a Best‑In‑State Top CPA. We serve high‑net‑worth crypto investors, DAOs, NFT projects, DeFi startups, and Web3 businesses with elite tax, accounting, and advisory services. Camuso CPA is not hiring seat‑fillers.

Why This Role Is Rare

You’ll get hands‑on experience in the most complex niche in modern accounting. You’ll work directly with a Forbes‑recognized U.S. firm, not through an agency or middleman. You’ll gain the skills few global accountants possess: tracing on‑chain transactions, categorizing thousands of trades, and decoding the future of finance. You’ll be mentored directly by elite talent in both the U.S. and South Africa and have the opportunity to earn your way into higher roles as we grow.

Who This Role Is Not For

• You can’t work U.S. EST hours full‑time (6am–3pm EST)
• You’re working multiple jobs or freelance gigs
• You have zero interest in crypto, DeFi, or NFTs
• You can’t pass a background check
• You’re uncomfortable doing cleanup work and SOP‑based tasks
• You want soft deadlines and low‑pressure workflows
• You need hand‑holding, reminders, or soft accountability

About Camuso CPA

• The first U.S. firm to accept crypto
• Featured in Accounting Today, Vice, Financial Times, and CoinMarketCap
• Named a Best‑In‑State Top CPA by Forbes
• Featured in Accounting Today as one of the first U.S. CPA firms receiving inbound AI‑generated client referrals
• Focused exclusively on crypto investors and Web3 companies
• Building a firm that understands the complexity of on‑chain finance, supports elite founders, and redefines what remote accounting can be

Position: Digital Asset Accountant (Crypto Cleanup + Web3 Accounting)

This is a full‑time, remote contractor role.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle accounting cleanups, crypto tax mapping, and reporting deliverables
• Prepare financials across CoinTracking, Koinly, Cryptoworth, Bitwave, QuickBooks, Xero, Google Sheets and other software and accounting systems
• Trace blockchain activity via Etherscan, Solscan, Bitcoin, Tezos, etc.
• Categorize transactions across CEXs, DeFi protocols, NFTs, staking, and bridges
• Support e‑Commerce / SaaS accounting workflows (Stripe, Shopify, Amazon, B2B AP / AR)
• Contribute to internal SOPs and cleanup documentation
• Contribute to team knowledge and cross‑train other team members
• Participate in weekly team check‑ins and review cycles

Required Qualifications

• Strong attention to detail and follow‑through

• Comfort working with large, unformatted datasets
• Experience following SOPs and submitting formatted work
• Must be able to trace fund flows across wallets, chains, bridges, and CEXs
• Clean up years of crypto data and categorize by transaction type
• Interpret and read block explorers across chains
• Interpret CSV exports, DeFi histories, and NFT wallet activity
• Follow instructions and communicate in ClickUp / Slack / Notion

Communication & Turnaround Requirements
