Controller

Relay

39d • Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Financial Controller with deep crypto accounting experience to own Relay's financial infrastructure end-to-end. This isn't a role where the systems already exist — you'll be designing and building them. You'll own the month-end close, lead our in-house accounting infrastructure build, and be a critical partner to Data and Engineering.

Requirements

• 5+ years in accounting roles, with direct hands-on experience in GAAP accounting for digital assets: cost basis, FIFO/LIFO, mark-to-market, on-chain transaction recognition
• Accounting systems design experience: you've built or significantly architected an accounting system
• Comfortable working directly with data infrastructure; familiar with dbt, data modeling, and layered table concepts (you don't need to write the pipelines, but you need to spec and QA them)
• Track record of independently owning month-end and quarter-end close with strong reconciliation discipline
• Experience preparing for or managing external audits, with documentation and controls rigor

Nice To Haves

• CPA or equivalent certification a plus
• Prior experience at a DeFi protocol, crypto exchange, or blockchain infrastructure company a plus

Responsibilities

• Build the accounting infrastructure
• Design and own Relay's in-house crypto accounting layer — cost basis, FIFO/LIFO treatment, on-chain transaction recognition, and multi-asset reconciliation
• Define how Relay Fees, Gas Fees, and Rebalance Fees are captured with FMV, coin, timestamp, and rate at transaction level
• Partner with Data and Engineering to build the wallet inventory, balance sheet inputs, and financial tables that underpin the P&L
• Own the close process
• Run month-end and quarter-end close end-to-end: P&L, balance sheet and reconciliation
• Establish mark-to-market processes and on-chain reconciliation across all wallets and chains
• Drive toward a complete, auditable financials

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity in what we're building
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Unlimited PTO policy with encouraged minimums
• Remote-first culture with emphasis on collaboration, communication, and flexibility
