• Proactively monitor regulatory changes from bodies like the IRS, CFTC, and international frameworks, adapting processes to maintain audit-ready compliance.
• Mentor and develop a high-performing accounting team, fostering skills in crypto forensics and advanced Excel modeling.
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and investors, delivering clear insights into blockchain financials.
