Accounting Manager, Tokenized Equities

As an Accounting Manager for Coinbase Tokenized Equities, you own the accounting and reporting model from the ground up for a product that gives eligible non-US users access to tokens backed 1:1 by US stocks and ETFs. The tokens are issued from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a regulated financial center overseen by the FSRA, and trade 24/7 on-chain. You'll be the finance lead building accounting policy, regulatory and legal entity reporting, controls, GL operations, and finance systems, coordinating across Tax, Treasury, FP&A, controllership, external auditors, and regulators.

What you'll do

• Own regulatory compliance and reporting to the FSRA, including liaising with the regulator, building a robust and controlled reporting process, and responding to ad hoc queries
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Legal, Tax, Compliance, Treasury, FP&A, and Finance Data to ensure new flows are accurate, controlled, and scalable
• Sign off on flow of funds, posting rules, account setup, ledger structure, reconciliations, and reporting before launch

• Build the reporting framework for the issuer entity, including annual audited IFRS financials, local filings, and external audit support
• Set up a control environment for a regulated launch, including audit trails, books and records, and data integrity across on-chain and off-chain systems
• Identify accounting, controls, and reporting risks early and ensure each has a clear owner and plan
