Position overview

As Financial Controller, you will own the integrity of financial reporting across the Xapo group, a Bitcoin-first, regulated credit institution headquartered in Gibraltar.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will lead the Financial Controlling and Regulatory Reporting teams and take each cycle from first draft to sign-off: consolidated and entity financial statements under IFRS and FRS 102, the multi-entity close, regulatory returns to the GFSC and FCA, and the external audit.

You will apply IFRS to crypto assets, shape our accounting positions and policies, and work with our finance transformation team to build AI and automation into the close and reporting process.
