Assistant Controller LayerZero The Future is Omnichain. Founded in 2021, LayerZero’s vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains. We are funded by the best investors in the world including: a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more. ABOUT THE ROLE LayerZero is redefining how value moves across chains at internet scale. Our Finance team plays a critical role in enabling this mission by building financial infrastructure that is accurate, scalable, and trusted by leadership, partners, and regulators. We’re looking for a Assistant Controller to own day-to-day accounting operations and the monthly close process across our global entity structure. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thrives on precision, structure, and operational excellence in fast-moving environments. You’ll work closely with finance leadership and cross-functional partners to ensure our books are clean, processes are scalable, and financial reporting is reliable as the organization grows. This is a force-multiplier role with visibility across the business and the opportunity to grow into broader responsibilities over time. WHAT YOU’LL DO Own the Core Accounting Engine

Execute and continuously improve the monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and audit readiness. Maintain the general ledger in NetSuite, including journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and intercompany activity. Reconcile bank accounts, corporate cards, payroll, and other balance sheet accounts.

Day-to-Day Accounting & Systems

Own accounts payable and receivable workflows, including vendor onboarding, invoice processing, and payment runs using tools like Ramp. Partner with payroll providers (e.g., ADP) to ensure accurate payroll, benefits, bonus, and equity-related accounting. Maintain clean subledgers and supporting schedules that tie directly to the GL.

Crypto-Native Accounting & Complexity

Account for token activity, including transfers, incentives, and related expense recognition, ensuring alignment between on-chain activity and the general ledger. Support crypto-specific accounting workflows and reconciliations as the business evolves. Partner with external specialists as needed on digital asset accounting considerations.

Tax, Audit & Compliance Support

Support corporate tax filings (U.S. and international) by preparing schedules, documentation, and reconciliations. Work with external tax, audit, and advisory firms to support annual audits, reviews, and special projects. Ensure accounting policies and procedures align with US GAAP and scale with the business.

Build for Scale

Document accounting processes and controls, creating clarity and repeatability as the team grows. Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks — and proactively design better workflows and controls. Act as a trusted accounting partner to finance leadership and cross-functional teams.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

5–8+ years of experience in accounting, ideally with a mix of public accounting and in-house experience. Strong working knowledge of NetSuite and month-end close in a multi-entity environment. Hands-on experience with modern finance tools such as Ramp (or similar) and ADP (or similar payroll providers). Solid understanding of US GAAP, balance sheet accounting, and close best practices (CPA preferred, not required). Comfortable operating in high-growth, ambiguous environments where processes are built, not inherited. Detail-oriented, highly organized, and obsessed with accuracy — you close loops and don’t let issues linger. Clear communicator who can explain accounting concepts to non-finance stakeholders.
