About Hashgraph:

Hashgraph is a fast-growing software company committed to supporting, developing and servicing Hedera, an open source, proof-of-stake platform. Hedera is EVM-compatible and has been specifically built to meet the needs of enterprise and web3 applications, which require speed, security, stability and sustainability. Hedera’s public network is governed by industry-leading organizations, spanning 11 sectors and 14 regions who oversee the development and direction of the decentralized platform.

Why this role exists:

We are hiring a Corporate Controller to help advance our mission by:

Building the accounting infrastructure, controls, and reporting rigor that let Hashgraph scale with confidence, across a global, contractor-heavy workforce, an enterprise customer base, and a balance sheet that includes digital assets most controllers have never had to account for.

This role exists to ensure that our financial close, controls, and reporting are audit-ready and scalable as we grow from Stage 1 to Stage 2, giving leadership, investors, and council partners confidence in the numbers behind the network.

In this role, you will:

  • Own the monthly and quarterly close process end-to-end, including consolidation across entities, and drive it toward a defined, repeatable timeline.
  • Design and implement right-sized internal controls (approval workflows, reconciliations, segregation of duties) appropriate for our current stage; built to scale, not gold-plated.
  • Own technical accounting for digital asset transactions, including HBAR treasury holdings and ecosystem incentive programs, in line with emerging GAAP guidance.
  • Manage the external audit relationship and PBC process, acting as the primary point of contact for our auditors.
  • Oversee AP, AR, payroll accounting, and revenue recognition. Including a global, contractor-heavy workforce spanning multiple countries and currencies.
  • Partner with Head of Finance leadership on cash management, treasury policy for digital assets, and board and investor reporting.

What success looks like in 6-12 months:

  • The close cycle runs on a defined, documented timeline with a repeatable checklist the team can execute against.
  • We complete our audit cycle with a clean opinion and no material weaknesses identified.
  • A documented accounting policy exists for digital asset treasury holdings and token-related transactions.
  • Core internal controls are implemented and operating. Not just designed on paper.

What you bring:

Core capabilities:

  • 8+ years of progressive accounting and controllership experience, including having led a close process from end to end.
  • A track record of building or scaling finance infrastructure at a high-growth startup in a comparable stage of maturity.
  • Deep GAAP expertise with hands-on multi-entity consolidation experience.
  • Experience owning external audit relationships and PBC processes.
  • A systems and process builder's mindset where you're comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, not just operating within one that already exists.
  • Experience with NetSuite or Sage ERP.

Functional expertise:

  • Technical accounting experience with digital assets or cryptocurrency (e.g., ASC 350-60 or comparable emerging guidance) strongly preferred.
  • Experience with global contractor and EOR payroll structures across multiple currencies.
  • ERP and accounting systems implementation or migration experience (e.g., NetSuite).
  • Revenue recognition experience for enterprise or licensing contracts with non-standard terms (ASC 606).
  • Experience designing SOX or "SOX-lite" internal controls for a scaling organization.

Nice to haves:

  • An active CPA license.
  • Prior experience at a blockchain, digital assets, or fintech company.
  • Experience supporting fundraising (equity or token-based) or board reporting at a venture-backed company.
