What You’ll Be Part Of
Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency are motivators for our success and our employees live by our company values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We have built a flexible work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
As an Accountant, you will take end to end ownership of assigned accounting areas across operating costs, cash transactions, payroll and employee related costs, share based compensation, fixed assets and intangible assets, including internally developed intangible assets. You will own the accounting, close and controls for your areas, while developing a strong understanding of the underlying data and processes and using AI and automation to improve quality, efficiency and scalability.
What You’ll Work On
- Own key month end and quarter end accounting activities across operating costs, payroll and employee related costs, share based compensation, fixed and intangible assets and leases, including journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, capitalization and other period end adjustments.
- Work with cash transactions and large accounting datasets, using analytical and AI enabled tools to identify exceptions, investigate unusual items and ensure transactions are complete, accurately classified and appropriately reflected in the financial statements.
- Analyse balance sheet and P&L movements, get to the root cause of unexpected results and provide clear, evidence based commentary on key drivers.
- Develop a strong understanding of the business activity, data and systems behind your accounting areas. Approach unfamiliar or non routine transactions with curiosity, research the accounting and form a point of view under relevant U.S. GAAP, escalating complex matters where appropriate.
- Prepare supporting schedules, financial reporting and assigned SEC disclosures, and perform relevant ICFR and SOX controls with high quality documentation and testing readiness.
- Take ownership of problems and drive them through to resolution, working across Finance and the wider business to improve upstream data, processes and controls rather than simply addressing issues at month end.
- Support audit, tax and compliance requirements, proactively resolving issues and maintaining high quality supporting documentation.
- Use AI and automation as part of how you work: experiment with new tools, challenge manual processes and identify, design and implement solutions that improve the speed, quality and scalability of accounting, while maintaining appropriate human judgement, governance and controls.
