About the role

Are you a highly organized problem-solver with an analytical mind and a passion for both traditional accounting and the emerging world of digital assets? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment and have a desire to grow with a forward-thinking team? If so, this role may be a good fit for you.

In this role you will support the digital asset operations of Jump by maintaining the integrity of the general ledger across a multitude of legal entities. The primary responsibilities of the Senior Accounting Analyst are to maintain and optimize the accounting processes related to month-end-close and reporting and ensure that the books and records of the digital asset legal entities are complete and accurate. The Senior Accounting Analyst is also responsible for ensuring that our processes enable the department to best support existing business as well as future growth and expansion. You will have responsibility for the books and records of several Jump subsidiaries including period-end financial reporting. Each day you will be faced with new challenges that will continuously leave you looking for ways to improve processes and increase efficiency across the department while ensuring a focus on excellence and maintaining high standards of accuracy and accountability. The candidate should have a combination of both traditional accounting expertise and an expressed interest in digital assets.

This role is based out of our Chicago office reporting to the Accounting Manager, with an expectation to work in the office at least 4 days per week.

Key responsibilities

  • Month-end Close. Maintain responsibility for the execution of the monthly accounting close for multiple digital asset entities, including reconciling transaction-level detail, preparing and posting activity and owning the month-end process to ensure our books tell an accurate, GAAP-compliant story with strong controls. Support controls and perform reconciliations for high-volume, complex transactions and balances.
  • Variance analysis. Analyze monthly variances to explain why the numbers moved, surfacing trends and anomalies that inform how the business understands its performance.
  • Finance automation. Proactively identify opportunities for process improvements or automation and build solutions to enhance efficiency and accuracy, including driving AI initiatives forward.
  • Problem-solving & process improvement. Tackle ad hoc analyses and open-ended questions, continuously looking for ways to streamline and strengthen how we work.
  • Audit, tax, and cross-departmental support. Assist with external audits and prepare supporting schedules for tax returns related to Digital Asset activities. Collaborate with internal teams—including tax, operations, and data teams—to ensure the accuracy of financial data and processes.
  • Other duties as assigned or needed

Skills and experience

  • Experience. At least 3+ years of accounting experience with a track record of owning the general ledger, reconciling complex accounts, and improving close processes in a fast-paced, multi-entity organization. Experience in trading industry accounting and/or digital assets is a plus.
  • Education and Certifications. A bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field; CPA (or equivalent) strongly preferred.
  • Analytical skills.
  • Analyze monthly variances to explain why the numbers moved, surfacing trends and anomalies that inform how the business understands its performance.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
  • Working style. Self-directed, adaptable, and dependable — able to juggle competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment and work both independently and as part of a team, especially through critical close periods. Detail-oriented, highly organized, and skilled at producing clear and accurate documentation.
  • Reliable and predictable availability

Benefits

  • Discretionary bonus eligibility
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • HSA, FSA, and Dependent Care options
  • Employer Paid Group Term Life and AD&D Insurance
  • Voluntary Life & AD&D insurance
  • Paid vacation plus paid holidays
  • Retirement plan with employer match

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
