Finance Lead

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.

    • 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

  • 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:

  • 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:

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

Demonstrated ownership of mission-critical financial processes

Even better if you have

• Experience with:

  • 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.
