Technical Accounting Specialist
Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.
As a Technical Accounting Specialist you'll take ownership of our most complex accounting and regulatory matters.
This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who loves solving challenging accounting problems, writing memos, and operationalizing policy. You’ll partner closely with leadership, policy experts, and external advisors to ensure our financial reporting is accurate, audit-ready, and defensible in a rapidly evolving industry.
What You’ll Do:
Research, draft, and maintain technical accounting memos on complex transactions (SAFEs, SAFTs, token conversions, carve-outs, revenue recognition)
Support M&A, restructurings, and valuations (ASC 805 purchase price allocations, goodwill, deferred taxes, entity wind-downs)
Assist in designing and operationalizing crypto accounting policies, including token compensation, staking, and on-chain activity
Contribute to financial reporting and disclosures, including crypto holdings, fair value hierarchy, and audit support
Work cross-functionally to improve processes, controls, and accounting technology to reduce reconciliation risk and scale operations
What You’ll Bring:
CPA (active) or equivalent, with 5–8 years of experience (Big 4 assurance or technical advisory strongly preferred)
Solid foundation in U.S. GAAP (ASC), with experience drafting memos and disclosures
Exposure to complex transactions (M&A, equity/debt instruments, restructurings) - crypto exposure a plus, but not required
Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving policies and priorities
Proficiency with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite) and interest in accounting automation/crypto subledger tools
Strong communication skills - able to translate technical guidance into clear documentation for auditors and leadership
Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information.
