Senior Accountant

Join the premier crypto-native accounting firm recognized by Forbes as a 2025 and 2026 Best-In-State Top CPA.

We serve high-net-worth crypto investors, protocols, startups, and blockchain-enabled businesses with elite tax, accounting, and advisory services.

We are hiring a senior to own and drive crypto engagements from intake to delivery, review and elevate the work of our staff, and guarantee audit-ready output for tax, audit, and financial reporting. This is senior-level ownership, review, and judgment work.

We fill this seat as a Senior Reconciliation Analyst or a Senior Accountant depending on your background. Both carry the same three pillars and the same standards below.

You are the quality bar between staff and firm leadership. The role has three core pillars, and all three are part of the job, not optional extras:

1. Run engagements. Own them end to end and drive them in real time.
2. Develop people. Mentor and raise the staff in your pod.
3. Help recruit. Represent the firm and help build the team you will lead.

Camuso CPA is not hiring seat-fillers. We are building a senior layer of crypto-native operators who make the firm scale, people who own outcomes, raise the people around them, and deliver clean work on time, every time.

Why This Role Is Rare

• You will hold a senior seat at a Forbes-recognized U.S. firm in the most complex niche in modern accounting: on-chain transaction tracing and high-volume digital asset accounting.
• You will work directly with the founder, a nationally recognized authority in digital asset tax and accounting.
• There is room above you. We are building toward multiple pods and a manager layer as we scale, and high performers rise with the firm.
• You will build and lead your own pod and help shape the team you eventually help run.
• You will deepen rare, transferable expertise: senior crypto reconciliation review, subledger integrity, audit-ready quality control, and team development.
• You will join an established, growing South African team to lead and grow with.
• You will build expertise in one of the fastest-growing and most underserved disciplines in professional services, where qualified specialists are in global short supply and the skills only grow more valuable.

This Role Is Not for You If:

• You prefer to work heads-down on your own rather than driving work transparently and communicating proactively.
• You are not comfortable giving clear, specific status updates and being held to them.
• You would rather fix problems yourself than coach the people under you to fix them.
• You need significant hand-holding to operate at a senior level.
• You want to focus only on your own work, with no interest in developing people or helping the firm grow.
• You cannot work U.S. EST hours full-time (6am to 3pm EST).
• You are working multiple jobs or freelance gigs.
• You have zero interest in crypto, DeFi, or web3.
• You cannot pass a background check.
• You want soft deadlines, low pressure, and soft accountability.

Career Development and Growth Track

This is a senior seat with a path above it. As the firm scales, strong seniors move toward owning multiple pods and into a manager layer. Promotion is performance-based, not time-based. We advance on proof and results, not potential or tenure.
