Who You Are:

We are seeking a highly skilled finance professional to join our growing Hong Kong team as our on-the-ground finance lead, owning SFC regulatory reporting for our Hong Kong entities, along with local corporate accounting and accounts payable across our Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan entities.

This is an in-person role based in Hong Kong, reporting directly to our MIC Finance in London, with functional reporting lines to our Tax, Corporate Accounting, and Accounts Payable teams in New York. Day to day, you will also serve as the primary local finance point of contact for our Hong Kong COO.

We are looking for someone entrepreneurial and curious, who is comfortable navigating ambiguity and finding answers independently, and who communicates confidently with senior stakeholders across the business. We value a well-rounded, coachable mindset over deep prior exposure to digital assets specifically - we don't expect candidates to already have both crypto expertise and Hong Kong regulatory experience, and are glad to invest in ramping up the right person. AI fluency is expected: you will use AI tools to accelerate your output and deepen your analysis.

What You’ll Do:

SFC Regulatory Reporting

  • Prepare daily and monthly SFC Financial Resources Rules (FRR) filings, including the regulatory liquid capital calculation
  • Support the MIC Finance in monitoring financial resources and flagging capital-related events requiring SFC notification
  • Maintain desk procedures and filing checklists to reduce key-person dependency
  • Support SFC correspondence and license-related projects as needed

Annual Audit & External Relationships

  • Coordinate the annual audited accounts process with external auditors, ensuring submission within SFC deadlines
  • Serve as the primary local point of contact for auditors, bankers, and other external advisors

Corporate Accounting & Accounts Payable

  • Own local month-end close procedures for our Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan entities, including cash entries, payroll funding, and transfer pricing entries
  • Process accounts payable for Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan entities, including invoice review, coding, and timely payment processing
  • Support banking relationship management and account administration across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Liaise with the New York-based Tax, Corporate Accounting, and Accounts Payable teams on APAC-specific matters, including Pillar Two and transfer pricing

Automation & AI

  • Use AI tools to accelerate analysis, automate recurring processes, and shorten turnaround on regulatory filings
  • Identify opportunities to streamline manual work and improve data quality, and communicate them to relevant teams

What We’re Looking For:

4-7 years of experience in finance, accounting, regulatory reporting, or audit

Prior experience at a financial services company

Entrepreneurial self-starter, comfortable operating independently and resolving ambiguity

Confident, effective communicator who engages proactively with senior stakeholders

Fluency with AI tools, with tangible examples of using them to accelerate analysis or reporting

Strong attention to detail and reliability on recurring regulatory processes

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across different time zones

Bonus Points: 

Local professional qualification (e.g., Hong Kong CPA or equivalent) - required where applicable for specific local banking or regulatory functions

Exposure to a Treasury function - a nice-to-have, not required

Strong understanding of Hong Kong SFC licensing requirements, including the Financial Resources Rules

Experience as an early or first hire helping to build a team, function, or regional presence

Familiarity with NetSuite or a similar ERP

Experience at a publicly listed company

Exposure to crypto, digital assets, or fintech

What We Offer:

Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus

Flexible Time Off (paid)

Hybrid Working Arrangements 

Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees and their eligible dependents

Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace

Generous paid Parental Leave

Free daily snacks in-office and weekly lunches 

Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry

Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues
