Are you precision focused and want to own financial operations at one of the most exciting crypto infrastructure companies in the space?

As a Finance Associate, you'll be the operational backbone of our Finance function - managing the full accounting cycle across multiple entities and jurisdictions, keeping payment runs running like clockwork, and mentoring a junior team member. You won't just maintain the status quo; in your first six months, you'll help us build a next-generation, LLM-based financial analysis layer that transforms how we understand our costs and revenue.

You'll report directly to the Head of Finance and collaborate closely with legal and operations. If you're someone who gets genuinely bothered by a miscategorised expense - this is the role for you.

Location: Remote within Europe. Applications outside this region will not be considered.

Our default hiring model is a German employment contract for Germany-based candidates, or a B2B freelancer agreement for those based elsewhere.

Own payments end-to-end

• Execute payment runs every 3–4 days across bank accounts, Moss, Request Finance, and all crypto invoices — both off-chain and on-chain

• Ensure outgoing payment transactions run smoothly and that receipts are collected and reconciled properly

• Monitor adherence to internal control processes for every payment cycle

Keep pre-accounting data airtight

• Review, edit, and approve all items entering Moss before they go to the external accountant

• Manage the billing mailbox, ensuring every document is captured, routed, and coded correctly

• Act as the last line of defence on data accuracy - if something's off, you'll catch it

Run the full accounting cycle

• Manage accurate general ledger accounts and financial statements for entities under German, BVI, and Cayman Islands jurisdictions

• Oversee monthly and annual financial closings including reconciliations, postings, and coordination with external service providers for crypto and fiat transactions

• Manage intercompany accounting processes, including transfer pricing documentation and compliance

• Ensure adherence to HGB and IFRS accounting standards and support international regulatory and tax compliance

Systems, reporting, and audits

• Work with Moss to further automate accounting workflows and reduce manual effort

• Coordinate with external auditors and regulatory bodies; prepare financial reports, forecasts, and analyses for internal and external stakeholders

Mentor and lead

• Support and develop a junior team member - reviewing their work, building their skills, and holding the team's output to a high standard

  
  

What makes a great candidate

Prior experience

• 3+ years of professional finance experience, ideally in an international or crypto-focused environment

• Comfortable with expense management tools like Moss or Ramp

• Solid understanding of intercompany accounting and transfer pricing

• Fluent in English, both written and spoken. German language skills are a plus.

Mindset and working style

• A perfectionist when it comes to data accuracy — especially pre-accounting — you find errors before they cascade

• Hands-on and not above getting into the details; this is an operational role as much as a strategic one

• Technically savvy with a genuine interest in AI and automation — ideally you're already using LLMs in your workflow

• Startup experience: autonomous, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity

Domain knowledge

• Interest in and ideally experience with crypto and digital asset accounting — on-chain payment runs won't faze you

• Comfortable managing multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction operations

• Experience with Request Finance is a nice to have, not a requirement

• Experience working with remote, cross-functional teams across time zones is a plus

Company culture

• Embracing the differences

  • Embrace your own differences

  • Respect and welcome the unique qualities of others

  • See others’ differences as an opportunity to grow

• Own it, do it

  • Own tasks end-to-end

  • Hold yourself to a high bar for execution

  • Make bold decisions, and be accountable

  • Understand your limitations and seek for help

• Fail forward

  • Try - don’t be afraid to fail

  • Learn - don’t make the same mistake twice

  • Adapt - grow with the experience

• Have fun together

  • Take the time to get to know and understand each other better

  • Don’t take yourself too seriously and keep it light-hearted

  • Fun should be coming from a place of love and respect

What you’ll get

• Annual company offsites — we've explored Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, and Greece together. Next stop for 2027: TBD!

• 30 days of PTO

• Flexible remote days

• Flexible working hours

• Equity participation from day 1

• Entitlement to work computer (choice of equipment)

• An annual 1,000€ personal development budget once you have worked 6+ months (pro-rated the first year)

• A one-time 1,000€ remote budget to use on coworking, office setup, etc.

If you join us as an independent contractor, you’re only entitled to the first five benefits of this list.
