## Job description

## About the role

We're a crypto-native group of companies spanning market making, liquidity provision, on-chain trading infrastructure, and software development. We're expanding our accounting and nance team, and this person will work directly with the Head of Finance as a core part of that build out. You'll own the monthly close across multiple entities, keep our crypto subledgers accurate, handle billing and revenue tracking, and support compliance, tax and legal.

## What you'll do

- Run the monthly close for several entities in QuickBooks Online, including bank and exchange reconciliations, journal entries, intercompany due to/due from tie-outs, and eliminations for the consolidated package.
- Maintain our crypto subledgers, including importing and validating exchange and on-chain transaction data and reconciling balances back to source.
- Reconcile trading and liquidity activity across CEX accounts, perp venues like Hyperliquid, and DeFi LP positions on Solana and EVM chains, and produce P&L and rollforward schedules.
- Set up and maintain charts of accounts for new entities and business lines as they launch.
- Prepare monthly retainer and revenue share invoices, and maintain the Excel trackers behind them (tiered fee logic, per-client billing bases).
- Support entity structuring work across the group, including intercompany loans, capital contributions and distributions, and the accounting for related party transactions.
- Help prepare annual filings and tax workpapers (BVI financial returns, federal tax memos, and supporting schedules for our outside CPA firm).
- Assemble KYB packages, member and manager registers, and other documentation for banks, brokers and institutional partners.
- Help maintain AML/OFAC program documentation and coordinate responses to regulatory and law enforcement records requests.
- Support HR and payroll ops in Rippling, including deduction setups, payroll corrections and contractor tracking.
- Build and maintain Excel and Google Sheets models: amortization schedules, loan workbooks, portfolio trackers and deal models.

## What we're looking for

- Ideally 5+ years of accounting experience, including 3+ years in crypto or digital assets.
- CPA, or actively working toward it.
- Real familiarity with digital asset accounting. You understand wallets, token transfers, swaps and perps, and you know how they should be accounted for.
- A working understanding of DeFi, including liquidity pools, AMMs, lending protocols and staking, and how to account for each of them. • Hands-on experience with QBO and at least one crypto subledger.
- Strong Excel skills. INDEX/MATCH, dropdown-driven models and clean reconciliation skills.
- Comfort with multi-entity and intercompany accounting, including related party considerations under GAAP.
- Good judgment on when an issue needs to be escalated and the ability to communicate it clearly, both verbally and in writing.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once.

## Nice to have

- Experience with crypto subledger platforms (TRES, Koinly and Breezing).
- Experience with entity structuring, including multi-entity setups, intercompany arrangements and offshore entities.
- Exposure to BVI or other offshore entity reporting.
- Some scripting ability (Python, Apps Script) for cleaning and transforming transaction exports.
- Experience with Rippling or another EOR/payroll platform.

## Why join

You'll work directly with leadership and the Head of Finance, with real ownership over the processes you run. Our processes are established, and you'll be trusted to own them, improve them where it makes sense, and take on challenging problems across a fast-moving group of companies.

## About Wormhole Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Wormhole Labs develops open-source blockchain interoperability technology to enable seamless communication and asset transfer across multiple blockchain networks.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Startup)
- **Headquarters**: Remote-first; operates across the United States, Sweden, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Tony Jin (Co-Founder & CTO), Anthony Ramirez (COO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Blockchain Infrastructure / Cross-Chain Interoperability
- **Target Customers**: B2B — blockchain developers, decentralized application (dApp) builders, protocols, and enterprises building multichain applications
- **Mission**: "To radically reduce the friction of building multichain applications" and create a boundaryless blockchain world where users can ignore the underlying technology or dive deep if they choose.

## Products & Services
- **Wormhole Protocol**: The core open-source blockchain messaging protocol that enables cross-chain communication, asset transfers, and data passing between over 30+ blockchains (including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, and others).
- **Wormhole Connect**: A frontend SDK and widget that allows developers to integrate cross-chain functionality into their applications with minimal code.
- **Wormhole Queries**: A system for syncing data across EVM chains and Solana, enabling efficient cross-chain data retrieval.
- **Example Swap Layer**: A reference implementation for a Uniswap-based swap layer integrated with the Wormhole Liquidity Layer.
- **Solana World ID Program**: An on-chain template bringing Worldcoin's World ID identity verification to the Solana ecosystem.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/ Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — not publicly disclosed; company is believed to be well-capitalized given its roots in Jump Trading/Jump Crypto (founders and many early team members came from Jump)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: 
  - **AMD** — collaborating on FPGA accelerators to enhance blockchain connectivity
  - **Jump Trading / Jump Crypto** — key talent source and likely strategic backer
  - **Uniswap** — via the example swap layer integration
  - **Worldcoin** — via the Solana World ID integration
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew 35.7% YoY (from ~9 to 12 employees)
  - Monthly headcount growth of 5.6%
  - Team spans 5 countries with 42% in the US
  - 63 public repositories on GitHub with active open-source contributions
  - High LinkedIn engagement on partnership announcements (e.g., AMD collaboration received 380+ reactions)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep expertise**: Team hails from quantitative trading (Jump Trading), venture capital, and enterprise software backgrounds — bringing a rare combination of financial rigor and blockchain engineering depth.
- **Open-source leadership**: Actively contributes to the core Wormhole protocol and maintains 63 public repos, fostering developer trust and ecosystem adoption.
- **Cross-chain ubiquity**: Supports 30+ blockchains, making Wormhole one of the most widely integrated interoperability protocols in the industry.
- **Security-first approach**: Emphasizes secure development practices and partners with hardware leaders (AMD) for FPGA-accelerated blockchain connectivity.
- **Remote-first culture**: Ability to attract top global talent without geographic constraints.

## Strategic Focus
- **Deepening interoperability**: Continuing to expand the number of supported blockchains and improve cross-chain messaging efficiency.
- **Developer experience**: Making multichain development as simple as single-chain development through SDKs, widgets, and reference implementations.
- **Identity and composability**: Exploring cross-chain identity solutions (e.g., World ID on Solana) and composable liquidity layers.
- **Hardware acceleration**: Partnering with AMD to leverage FPGA technology for faster, more secure blockchain connectivity.
- **Growing the team**: Actively hiring across engineering (Rust, Solana, frontend), product design, and legal functions.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first culture**: Team operates fully remote, working US Eastern Time hours, allowing for flexible location arrangements.
- **High agency, low ego culture**: The company explicitly seeks "customer obsession, high agency, and extreme ownership" — valuing impact over hierarchy.
- **Cutting-edge blockchain work**: Employees work on one of the most widely used interoperability protocols in the industry, solving genuinely hard distributed systems problems.
- **Diverse, global team**: Colleagues from quantitative trading, venture capital, and enterprise software backgrounds across the US, Europe, and Asia.
- **Open-source impact**: Contributions are public, visible, and directly used by developers building on 30+ blockchains.
- **Growth trajectory**: Small team (~12 people) with rapid growth — offering outsized ownership and impact for early employees.
- **Current open roles** (as of mid-2025): Senior Product Engineer, Solana Protocol Engineer, Full-Stack Blockchain Engineer, Creative Director, General Counsel — indicating expansion across engineering, product, and leadership.
