Finance Lead - Veda

About Veda

Veda is the infrastructure layer for the next generation of asset management. We are bridging the gap between institutional capital and decentralized finance by providing a secure, scalable, and intuitive platform for on-chain strategies. Having grown from 10 to 60+ institutional customers in record time, we are now at a critical inflection point: moving from an early-stage MVP to a robust, institutional-grade platform.

The Role

We are hiring a Finance Lead to own Veda’s end-to-end financial operations layer, spanning fiat, digital assets, and DeFi protocols.

This is a high-leverage, build-heavy role responsible for:

• Designing operational systems from first principles
• Owning on-chain + off-chain reconciliation integrity
• Managing treasury flows across wallets, exchanges, and bank accounts
• Embedding risk controls into financial infrastructure

Responsibilities

1. Core Financial Operations

• Own end-to-end accounts payable and accounts receivable workflows, including:
• Vendor onboarding, invoice processing, and payment execution (fiat and crypto)
• Customer invoicing, collections, and revenue tracking
• Crypto-denominated invoice valuation and settlement
• Manage payment cycles across:
• Traditional rails (ACH, wire, bill pay)
• On-chain payments (stablecoin, native token)
• Maintain vendor and contractor records, ensuring W-9/W-8 compliance and 1099 readiness
• Own expense management and approval workflows across departments
• Coordinate with external accountants and auditors on transactional data and supporting documentation
• Enforce AP/AR policies including approval thresholds, payment terms, and escalation procedures

2. Financial Integrity & Reconciliation (Fiat + On-Chain)

• Own full-stack reconciliation across:
• Bank accounts, custodians, and payment processors
• Hot / warm / cold wallets
• Build and maintain real-time reconciliation frameworks across:
• Internal ledgers
• Blockchain data (node / API / indexers)

3. Treasury & Liquidity Operations (Crypto-Native)

• Own capital movement across:
• Fiat rails (ACH, wires, FX) and offramps
• On-chain transfers (multi-chain, gas optimization, bridging)
• Develop a treasury management strategy
• Partner with leadership on capital efficiency and deployment strategy

4. Systems Architecture & Automation

• Design and implement:
• Scalable financial operations infrastructure
• Transaction lifecycle tracking systems (fiat ↔ crypto ↔ DeFi)
• Work with Engineering to:
• Automate reconciliation, reporting, and alerting
• Evaluate and deploy:
• Crypto accounting tools
• Wallet infrastructure (MPC, multisig)
• Treasury management systems

5. Reporting, Controls & Audit Readiness

• Own operational inputs into:
• Month-end close
• Digital asset accounting and valuation
• Build audit-grade financial records across:
• wallets, bank accounts, and exchanges
• Implement internal controls aligned with:
• Institutional standards (SOX-inspired, where applicable)
• Regulatory expectations (e.g., NYDFS)

6. Cross-Functional Leadership

• Act as the bridge between Finance, Engineering, Product, and Compliance
• Translate blockchain activity into financial and operational insights
• Help define Veda’s financial infrastructure roadmap

You Have

• 6–10+ years in financial operations, treasury, or accounting within:
  • Crypto, DeFi, fintech, or institutional finance
• Need to have crypto accounting experience
• Auditor experience is a plus
• Deep understanding of:
  • Blockchain mechanics (transactions, gas, confirmations, re-orgs)
  • Wallet architecture (custodial vs non-custodial, multisig, MPC)
  • DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending protocols, staking, derivatives)
• Proven experience building:
  • Reconciliation systems across fragmented data environments
  • Operational processes in ambiguous, high-growth settings
• Strong analytical toolkit:
  • Advanced Excel / Sheets
  • AI financial tools
  • SQL
• Demonstrated ownership of mission-critical financial processes

Even better if you have

• Experience with:
  • On-chain analytics tools (e.g., Dune, Nansen, Flipside)
  • Crypto accounting platforms (e.g., Tres Finance, Bitwave, Ledgible, TaxBit)
  • ERP (Quickbooks)
• Exposure to:
  • Institutional custody solutions
  • CPA or strong accounting foundation
  • Prior experience in a regulated crypto environment (NYDFS / BitLicense)

What You’ll Bring

• Builder mindset: you design systems, not just operate them
• Strong risk intuition in both traditional finance and DeFi contexts
• Ability to operate with precision under uncertainty
• High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward action
• Comfort going deep technically while maintaining financial accuracy

Why This Role Matters

At Veda, financial operations is not a support function—it is core infrastructure.

You will define how:

• Assets move
• Risk is managed
• Financial truth is established across on-chain and off-chain systems

This role is critical to scaling Veda into a trusted, institutional-grade crypto platform.
