Overview

We are looking for a highly organised and detail-driven Finance & Administration Manager to join as our client as their first in-house finance hire.

You will work directly with the CEO to build their financial logging, reporting, and compliance infrastructure from the ground up across a group of five companies.

This is a foundational role in a fast-growing startup that has experienced parabolic growth over the past year, and you will have a direct hand in shaping how the business operates at scale.

The group of companies operates exclusively on the blockchain, meaning you will be processing, managing, and reconciling a high volume of on-chain transactions daily.

This is not a traditional finance role — you will need to be comfortable navigating the world of digital assets, decentralised finance, and crypto-native business operations.

Administration & Bookkeeping

  • Manage end-to-end bookkeeping across all five companies within the group.
  • Process, track, and reconcile all invoices, payment dues, and accounts receivable/payable.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date financial records, ensuring all transactions are properly documented and categorised.
  • Build and maintain a structured filing system for contracts, receipts, invoices, and other financial documentation.

Compliance & Regulatory Reporting

  • Monitor and track all reporting deadlines, regulatory filings, and compliance obligations for each entity in the group.
  • Ensure timely submission of all required financial statements, tax filings, and regulatory documents.
  • Stay informed on evolving regulations relevant to blockchain-based businesses and digital assets.
  • Liaise with external accountants, auditors, and legal advisors as required.

Finance Systems & Infrastructure

  • Collaborate directly with the CEO to design, build, and implement the company’s internal finance and logging systems.
  • Develop standardised processes and workflows for financial operations across the group.
  • Identify and deploy tools, platforms, and automation to streamline financial administration.
  • Leverage AI-powered tools and workflows to improve efficiency in data processing, reconciliation, and reporting.

Blockchain & Crypto Operations

  • Intake, manage, and reconcile a high volume of on-chain blockchain transactions across multiple wallets and entities.
  • Track and categorise crypto-native revenue, expenses, and treasury movements.
  • Maintain clear records of digital asset holdings, transfers, and conversions for each company in the group.
  • Work with blockchain analytics and accounting tools to ensure accuracy and auditability.

Essential

  • Proven experience in bookkeeping, financial administration, or a similar role.
  • Strong understanding of invoicing, accounts payable/receivable, and general ledger management.
  • Exceptional organisational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple entities simultaneously.
  • Working knowledge of cryptocurrency fundamentals, blockchain transactions, and digital asset management.
  • Familiarity with AI tools and willingness to integrate them into daily workflows for efficiency gains.
  • Experience with or willingness to learn crypto accounting platforms (e.g., Koinly, CoinTracker, Cryptio, or similar).
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with senior leadership.
  • Self-starter mentality — comfortable building processes and systems in a fast-paced, startup environment.

Desirable

  • Experience working in a Web3, DeFi, or crypto-native company.
  • Familiarity with multi-entity corporate structures and group-level financial consolidation.
  • Knowledge of regulatory frameworks for digital assets in relevant jurisdictions.
  • Experience with accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, or similar.
  • Prior experience as a first finance hire or in building finance functions from scratch.
  • What they Offer
  • A foundational role with direct access to the CEO and real influence over how the business is run.
  • The opportunity to build financial systems and processes from the ground up.
  • Exposure to the cutting edge of blockchain, crypto, and AI-driven business operations.
  • A fast-paced, high-growth environment where your contributions have immediate and visible impact.
  • Competitive compensation package.
