What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote opportunities to drive financial excellence in blockchain startups or crypto platforms.

I am a finance leader with over 13 years of international experience, specializing in blockchain, crypto exchanges, and decentralized finance. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead cross-border financial operations across Ukraine, Switzerland, and the USA. I have successfully implemented ERP systems that enhance transaction reporting and auditing, and I have a track record of reducing unprofitable transactions by 50% through meticulous blockchain transaction analysis.

In my current role as Head of Accounting and Finance at a confidential blockchain company, I built a compliant financial infrastructure that aligns with crypto regulations and international standards. I have prepared financial statements under GAAP and IFRS, and led audits with Big 4 firms to ensure compliance and risk mitigation. My previous experience as Chief Accountant and CFO for Alfa Laval and Karcher has equipped me with strong skills in budget planning, tax compliance, and financial reporting, making me a valuable asset to any organization in the blockchain space.
