Technical Accounting Manager - Remote

Overview

The Accounting & Finance team at Chainalysis splits their time between fine-tuning the details and evaluating the 30,000 foot view of our business. Our job is to help the company plan for growth by investing in the right resources and audit our expenditures and revenues to ensure we’re being fiscally responsible.

As a Manager of Technical Accounting, you will lead the company’s interpretation and application of U.S. GAAP, with a focus on complex and judgmental accounting areas. You’ll play a key role in building scalable accounting policies and ensuring our financial statements are audit-ready and compliant as we continue to grow — and potentially prepare for future capital events (e.g., M&A or IPO)
