• Reports to: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
• Team: Accounting team (general ledger, AP & expenses, SEC reporting)
• Location: Los Angeles, California

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical accounting — author position memos on significant transactions and drive them to agreement with the external auditor. Focus areas include common-control business combinations and asset transfers (ASC 805-50); goodwill and intangibles (ASC 350); liability-versus-equity classification and subsequent measurement of preferred stock and warrants (ASC 480, ASC 815-40); sale-and-leaseback and lease accounting (ASC 842); revenue recognition (ASC 606); crypto assets (ASC 350-60); and going-concern assessment (ASC 205-40).
• Related-party transactions — build and maintain the related-party register so that, for every related-party loan, drawdown, asset or business transfer, the approval trail (special committee / disinterested directors), the accounting measurement and the ASC 850 disclosure are consistent and traceable to one another; align external disclosure language with Legal and the Corporate Secretary’s office.
• SEC reporting — prepare and internally review Forms 10-Q and 10-K and the financial portions of Forms 8-K; support financial information for registration statements on Forms S-1 / S-3 / S-4 / S-8 and Regulation S-X requirements, including Article 11 pro forma information; manage XBRL tagging and the filing calendar so the company remains current under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
• Close & consolidation — own the monthly, quarterly and annual close and consolidation across multiple entities, including FX translation and elimination of intercompany and related-party balances, ensuring the books are complete, supportable and audit-ready ahead of each reporting deadline.
• Internal control — establish and maintain process documentation, the risk-and-control matrix and evidence of control operation under SOX 404(a); remediate identified deficiencies and prepare the environment for a future 404(b) audit if and when it applies.
• Audit & advisor management — run the annual audit and quarterly reviews; manage the PBC list, audit adjustments and management representation letters; coordinate valuation, tax and technical-accounting advisors on scope, timing and deliverable quality.
• Team & infrastructure — hire and lead the accounting team; own the accounting policy manual and chart of accounts; improve the ERP and consolidation tooling to shorten the close cycle and raise first-time-right quality.
• Cross-functional partnering — work closely with the controlling stockholder’s (FF) finance and shared-services teams, the company’s corporate-finance and capital-markets team, and Compliance and Legal, providing accounting impact assessments before transaction structures are finalized.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or above in accounting, finance or a related field; active U.S. CPA license.
• 10+ years of accounting experience, including 5+ years of SEC reporting for U.S. public companies; Big 4 or international firm audit background at manager level or above preferred.
• Deep command of U.S. GAAP and SEC Regulations S-X and S-K, with hands-on ability to take a Form 10-Q / 10-K from trial balance to filed document.
• Demonstrated experience in at least two of the following: related-party and common-control restructurings; complex equity instruments (preferred stock, convertibles, warrants); sale-and-leaseback; digital assets; post-reverse-merger or post-SPAC listed entities.
• Practical experience building a SOX internal-control framework or remediating material weaknesses.
• A hands-on operator who delivers reliably in a lean, fast-moving, high-scrutiny environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Chinese (in addition to English) is preferred, to discuss technical accounting directly with shareholder-side and cross-border teams.
• Familiarity with Workiva (SEC reporting and XBRL), NetSuite / SAP and consolidation tools.
• Experience with disclosures tied to Nasdaq continued-listing standards (stockholders’ equity, minimum bid price, market value of listed securities), or going-concern disclosure.

What Success Looks Like in the First 12 Months:

• 100% coverage in the related-party register, with approval basis, accounting treatment and disclosure corroborating one another for every transaction.
• Technical memos on significant transactions accepted by the external auditor, with aggregate unadjusted audit differences below materiality.
