To that end, we have built leading Bitcoin brokerage and custody products to keep our clients ahead of the curve. We are looking for people to help build the future of the Bitcoin economy at River Financial.

When hiring, we look for candidates who demonstrate the ability to think clearly, communicate effectively, and get things done. We value people who are able to think and build for the future without forgetting the lessons of the past.

• Manage and improve accounting processes for River’s primary Bitcoin investing products
• Collaborate cross-functionally to develop accounting processes, automations, and internal controls to support the production of timely and accurate monthly financial reporting
• Maintain and manage accounts payable operations on a daily basis
• Partner with accounting consultants to maintain accurate and up-to-date records, including general ledger entries

• Assist in the preparation of tax filings and other regulatory reports
• Work closely with the Financial Operations team to prepare monthly reporting for Accounting, support annual 1099 reporting, and assist with payments processing
