Who are we? FalconX is a pioneering team of operators, investors, and builders committed to revolutionizing institutional access to the crypto markets.

In this role, you will serve as the leader of the tax operations function, taking full ownership of Global Tax Provision (ASC 740) and Tax Compliance. While this role requires a passion for the crypto and Web3 ecosystem, our priority is finding a candidate with deep technical expertise in tax accounting and who is enthusiastic about the intersection of technology and finance. You will act as a key leader within Finance ensuring that our financial reporting is accurate, our compliance is seamless across all jurisdictions (Federal, State, International), and our tax operations are scalable. You are not just a reviewer; you are a builder who takes a hands-on approach to complex data and documentation Key Responsibilities Global Tax Provision & Tax Accounting (ASC 740) Own the Provision: Manage the preparation and review of the global quarterly and annual income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly FAS 109). Technical Reporting: Prepare tax footnote disclosures and detailed internal tax technical memoranda to support tax positions and financial statement reporting.

Tax Compliance & Operations Global Filing Oversight: Manage the end-to-end compliance process for US (Federal/State) and International income tax returns, managing external vendors and advisors to ensure accuracy and timeliness. Process Architecture: Design and implement "Tax Ops" best practices; improve data collection workflows between Accounting and Tax to streamline the compliance lifecycle.

You are a great fit if: You love the "nuts and bolts" of tax accounting and take pride in a perfectly tied-out workpaper. You function best as a "counterpart" to leadership - you handle the technical execution so the team can move fast. You are hands-on: You don't just delegate to vendors; you dig into the details to ensure the work is right. You thrive in high-growth environments where you must build processes from scratch rather than just inherit them.
