Senior financial reporting manager and CPA specializing in SEC filings and digital asset accounting.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a CPA with 6+ years of experience supporting IPO readiness, SEC reporting, technical accounting, and financial reporting for private and public-company environments. I prepare and support Forms 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, and XBRL reporting processes under GAAP and SEC requirements, while ensuring strong disclosure management and internal controls.
In my recent role at Kraken, I’m a primary Workiva and disclosure management subject matter expert—implementing Workiva process workflows, training team members, and improving reporting infrastructure to increase reporting accuracy and audit readiness. I also research and document complex digital asset accounting topics, including ASC 350-60, stablecoin accounting considerations, and tokenized equity disclosures, and I’ve coordinated audit activity with external auditors. Previously, I managed XBRL compliance and SEC reporting workflows for 20+ clients using advanced taxonomy mapping under US GAAP and IFRS frameworks.
