• Lead the year-end audit process and act as the main liaison with external auditors and accounting service providers.
• Ensure compliance with MiCA, AML/CFT, and tax regulations, maintaining complete and accurate records for regulatory filings.
• Supervise accounting for crypto-asset transactions, including valuation, custody reconciliations, and revenue recognition.
• Implement and improve internal controls, accounting procedures, and reporting automation.
• Support the CFO in group consolidation, liquidity reporting, and management reporting.
• Coordinate intercompany accounting for Lithuanian, Swiss, and UK entities.
• Monitor updates to accounting, tax, and crypto-related regulations, ensuring company readiness and compliance.

• Professional certification (ACCA, CPA, or local equivalent) is a strong advantage.
• Solid understanding of Lithuanian accounting standards, IFRS, and tax legislation.
• Experience working in a financial institution, fintech, or crypto-asset company preferred.
• Hands-on experience with accounting systems (e.g., Navision, SAP, or similar).
• Strong attention to detail, analytical mindset, and ability to manage multiple entities.
• Fluency in English and Lithuanian (both written and spoken) required.
