Accounting and Financial Operations Analyst

The Opportunity As an Accounting & Financial Operations Analyst at Nascent, you won’t just keep the books tight — you’ll help build the systems behind them. You’ll work across a wide mix of financial assets, from traditional finance workflows to emerging digital asset structures, and play a key role in shaping how our data is captured, cleaned, and automated. This is a role for someone who loves getting into the weeds, learns fast, and takes ownership of turning manual or messy processes into clean, scalable systems. You’ll strengthen our financial engine, streamline operations, and push for clarity, speed, and reliability across everything you touch. You’ll thrive here if you’re high-agency, gritty, and deeply curious — someone who enjoys problem-solving and naturally thinks like a builder. This role is fully remote and operates within +/- 3 hours of EST. Key Responsibilities Level up the engine behind Nascent’s crypto accounting system — supporting the design and improvement of the infrastructure that powers everything from wallet flows to real-time reporting. Own the books across fiat and crypto, running full-cycles from wallet/exchange to ledger to reporting — clean, tight, and built for speed. Turn messy data into reliable systems by partnering with engineering and operations to architect workflows and controls that make our accounting stack stronger and faster. Be the source of financial truth, keeping reconciliations, ledgers, and documentation crisp and audit-read – you know the story behind every number. Automate what doesn’t need to be manual – use integrations, smart tools, or lightweight scripting to eliminate repetitive work and replace fragile processes with scalable ones. Hunt down issues before they become problems, propose solutions, and drive improvements through to implementation. About You You own outcomes, set clear expectations, and deliver — no hand-holding required. You thrive in ambiguity and move fast in scrappy, high-motion environments. You solve problems at the root, shifting from quick fixes to scalable systems without losing speed. You use AI and automation to work smarter, tighten workflows, and push quality higher. You’re hands-on, detail-driven, and unafraid to dive into the weeds to get the work right. Preferred Experience 2–3 years in financial operations or a similar accounting-heavy role. Strong accounting fundamentals — you’ve handled close cycles, compliance, and day-to-day bookkeeping with precision. High digital fluency, especially with AI-driven workflows and modern analytics tools. Proven ability to operate in fast-moving, ambiguous environments — you adapt quickly and keep momentum. Nice to Haves Formal accounting training (CPA track or Big 4 experience) that sharpened your fundamentals and discipline. Familiarity with crypto accounting or digital asset workflows. Experience contributing to or building bespoke financial software. Background in lean teams or startup environments where speed, ownership, and adaptability matter.
