  • Provide ad hoc financial analysis and reporting as required by the Financial Controller and CFO

Experience and Skills we are looking for:

  • CA or CPA qualified (or in the final stages of qualification)
  • Approximately 5 years of accounting experience, ideally including time in public practice (Big 4 or mid-tier)
  • Solid working knowledge of AASB / IFRS and Australian tax obligations (GST, income tax, FBT)
  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to reconciliations and reporting
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a small team
  • Genuine interest in cryptocurrency, digital assets, or fintech

Desirable but not essential:

  • Prior experience in financial services, fintech, or a regulated environment
  • Exposure to digital asset or crypto accounting (on-chain reconciliation, token treatment)
  • Advanced Excel or data skills

What We Offer

  • A competitive salary
  • A challenging and rewarding role in the dynamic crypto industry
  • A winning, fun, hard-working team
  • Ongoing learning and support
  • Great career development opportunities in a growing company

This is an in-office role, so please do not apply if you are looking for a hybrid or remote opportunity.
