About The Position

FalconX is seeking a Senior Manager, Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting, described as a "Financial Architect" who excels as both an analytical investigator and an operational leader. This role is crucial for managing critical workstreams within the financial reporting function during a period of significant institutional scaling. The Senior Manager will set operational objectives, oversee key accounting strategies, manage cross-functional projects, and lead teams (including offshore resources) to ensure strict compliance with U.S. GAAP, SEC regulations, and CFTC swap dealer requirements. This position is a 50/50 split between serving as an advanced technical expert and an operational manager, bridging the gap between trading desks and institutional-grade, regulated financial statements. The role involves building and managing a definitive "source of truth" within a complex, high-volume trading and regulated derivatives environment.

Requirements

Proven track record transitioning from Big 4 Audit/Technical Desks into Accounting Advisory (e.g., CFGI, FTI, EY, KPMG) or In-House Accounting leadership at a high-growth digital assets firm, FinTech startup, broker-dealer, or Investment Bank.
Direct, hands-on experience handling financial recordkeeping, regulatory capital computations, and filing frameworks for a CFTC Swap Dealer, Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), or SEC Broker-Dealer.
Experience managing multiple departments or workstreams, with a proven ability to lead large, high-priority projects and delegate effectively to direct reports or offshore teams.
You enjoy the "puzzle" of managing and building legal entity financials from high-volume, unstructured data sources.
Proficiency in Workiva and NetSuite
Direct experience with SEC Pre-clearance, Purchase Accounting (ASC 805), and DeFi Accounting.
The ability to partner cross-functionally with Trading and BizDev teams to assess and operationalize the accounting impact of DeFi yields and "wrapped" assets before they launch.

Responsibilities

Manage technical accounting and reporting workstreams; set clear operational objectives, delegate tasks effectively, and oversee departmental schedules and budgets to ensure flawless execution.
Oversee and manage the end-to-end financial reporting lifecycle for our CFTC-registered Swap Dealer entity in compliance with CFTC Regulation. Lead the preparation and filing of required monthly/quarterly financial statements, position/counterparty exposures, margin reports, and capital calculations.
Direct the forensic review and reconciliation of complex historical data, leading internal and external resources to ensure a robust, "audit-ready" foundation.
Manage the bridge between raw custodial data and GAAP reporting, ensuring high-volume transactional data is accurately tracked and traceable to its original source.
Act as a core internal authority on ASC 606 and 805, specifically regarding principal vs. agent nuances, M&A integrations, and DeFi yield protocols.
Lead the project management and drafting of sophisticated financial disclosures and MD&A for potential registration statements, S-1/F-1 prospectus disclosures, and SEC engagements.
Design, implement, and monitor SOPs for offshore teams and direct reports, while tightening the integration between our crypto sub-ledgers and NetSuite to improve month-end cadence.
