• Prepare balance sheet schedules and first drafts of statutory financial statements and footnote disclosures, covering gross/net offsetting (ASC 210-20 / IFRS 7), fair value levels (ASC 820 / IFRS 13), and credit risk.
• Monitor and settle intercompany balances, and support transfer pricing calculations for intercompany crypto and derivative positions.

• Produce daily P&L attribution, explain P&L movements to Trading Desks, and investigate breaks with Trade Operations.

• Research and draft accounting assessments (ASC 815 / IFRS 9) for new products such as digital asset lending, borrowing, staking, and principal market-making.
• Act as a day-to-day contact for Big 4 external auditors, preparing provided-by-client schedules, answering audit queries, and building historical workpapers.
• Carry out legacy balance sheet cleanups and help draft technical GAAP position memos.
• Run and document key controls under SOX 404 / ICFR, and keep Risk Control Matrices and standard operating procedures up to date.
• Provide financial data for regulatory and capital reporting under NFA, CFTC, SEC, and other global regimes, working with Compliance.

• Mentor and review the work of 1-2 junior associates or analysts.

• 5-8 years of experience in Product Control or Legal Entity Control at a Tier-1 investment bank (such as Goldman Sachs, Barclays, StanChart, BofA, or Morgan Stanley), or in Big 4 Capital Markets / Financial Services audit or advisory.
