Associate/Vice President, Finance (APAC)

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
• Employee Resource Groups
