Job Summary
Your Typical, Atypical, Day
📍Working largely independently, apply knowledge, experience, insight, and competence to partner strategically with crypto, blockchain, and NFT clients. 📍You will help bridge the gap between legacy accounting thinking and new blockchain-based ecosystems, functions, and capital flows. 📍This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to overseeing monthly and yearly financial closes, no day will be a typical day (hence the typical, atypical day). 📍You will be supporting our startup clients who need Controller help but may not have a need for an internal team at their growth stage (usually we work with Seed through Series C clients). So, there is always a lot of work to be done! 📍You’ll be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize, and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role. 📍You’ll be managing accountants and processes for our clients and possibly internally to Burkland, too, so you’ll want to have a background in management. 📍Embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is a must.
About You
📍You are naturally curious and a problem-solver. You’re someone who likes to learn and is eager to take on new challenges, especially when it comes to cutting-edge technology and emerging industries. 📍You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have experience with and a passion for working with rapidly growing startups and their founders. Preferably for crypto, blockchain, or NFT companies. 📍You are a communicator at your core. Bonus points if you have customer or client service experience, this is a cornerstone of the role. 📍You lead with integrity in all that you say and do. 📍You take an acutely accurate approach to your work and look forward to the parts of your job that require analytical thinking. 📍You are an expert collaborator! You ask for and give feedback regularly.
