Coinbase Tokenized Equities give eligible non-US users a simple way to buy tokens backed 1:1 by US stocks and ETFs — no brokerage account needed. The tokens are issued out of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a regulated financial center overseen by the FSRA, and trade 24/7 onchain. We're hiring an Accounting Manager to be the finance lead for this product. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who likes to build. You'll own the accounting and reporting model from the ground up — accounting policy, regulatory and legal entity reporting, controls, GL operations, and finance systems — coordinating across Tax, Treasury, FP&A, and controllership, as well as external auditors and regulators. If you like solving hard problems and building from scratch, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
- Build the accounting model from the ground up — covering token issuance and redemption, asset tracking, intercompany flows, and the close process
- Own regulatory compliance and reporting to the FSRA for this business. This includes liaising with the regulator to ensure a consistent understand of the rules, building a robust, efficient and well controlled reporting process and remaining responsive ad hoc queries
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Legal, Tax, Compliance, Treasury, FP&A, and Finance Data so new flows are accurate, controlled, and scalable
- Sign off on flow of funds, posting rules, account setup, ledger structure, reconciliations, and reporting before launch
- Lead accounting analysis for new structures under US GAAP and IFRS, including dividends, splits, and balance sheet treatment
- Build the reporting framework for our issuer entity, including annual audited IFRS financials, local filings, and external audit support
- Set up a control environment for a regulated launch — audit trails, books and records, and data integrity across on-chain and off-chain systems
- Identify accounting, controls, and reporting risks early and ensure each has a clear owner and plan
Required Skills

- Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human‑in‑the‑loop practices to deliver business‑ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.
