About Figure

Figure (NASDAQ: FIGR) is transforming capital markets through blockchain. We’re proving that blockchain isn’t just theory - it’s powering real products used by hundreds of thousands of consumers and institutions. 

By combining blockchain’s transparency and efficiency with AI-driven automation, we’ve reimagined how loans are originated, funded, and traded in secondary markets. From faster processing times to lower costs and reduced bias, our technology is helping borrowers, investors, and financial institutions achieve better outcomes.

Together with our 170+ partners, we’ve originated over $22 billion in home equity loans (HELOCs) on our blockchain-native platform, making Figure the largest non-bank provider of home equity financing in the U.S. Figure’s ecosystem also includes YLDS, an SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin that operates as a tokenized money market fund, and several other products and platforms that are reshaping consumer finance and capital markets. 

We’re proud to be recognized as one of Forbes’ Most Innovative Fintech Startups in 2025 and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Finance and Personal Finance.

About the Role

Figure is hiring a Director of Digital Asset Accounting to lead accounting across our digital asset product suite, including tokenized equity, democratized prime, exchange trading and participation in defi pools. You’ll own core close processes, build scalable infrastructure, and partner cross-functionally to support a rapidly growing, blockchain-enabled platform.

This is a high-ownership role with direct responsibility for people, processes, and systems at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. You’ll be central to building out our digital asset accounting function, from establishing robust frameworks for digital asset roll forwards and trading fee recognition to optimizing our proprietary digital asset tooling to automate workflows for both accounting and tax reporting.

What You’ll Do

  • Take full accountability for month-end close across all digital asset positions, this means owning the outcome, not just overseeing the process.
  • Prepare and deliver clear and concise reporting on close status, open items, and risk areas to the Controller, escalating issues proactively with recommended solutions.
  • Maintain and reconcile comprehensive digital asset roll forwards across all token types, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and audit-ready support at every close.
  • Own the accounting for tokenized equity issuances, token sales, digital asset transfers, trading fee revenue recognition, and DeFi pool activity, including liquidity provision, yield accruals, and fair value assessment, in accordance with applicable GAAP guidance.
  • Ensure all digital asset positions are fully supported and defensible, with meticulous attention to accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of financial statements.
  • Design accounting frameworks and policies for digital asset products that are built to scale — anticipating the needs of a rapidly evolving business, not just solving for today.
  • Partner with Technical Accounting to establish and maintain policies and controls that hold up under audit and regulatory scrutiny, including emerging guidance on digital asset accounting.
  • Drive the optimization of our digital asset accounting tool to automate workflows for accounting close processes and tax reporting, reducing manual effort and improving data integrity.
  • Serve as the primary accounting liaison to Product and Engineering for new digital asset product launches, evaluating accounting implications from inception and building product workflows that ensure accurate ledger treatment from day one.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Tax, and Legal teams to evaluate and document the accounting and reporting implications of new products.
  • Identify risks and opportunities in our digital asset accounting infrastructure before they become problems, and develop a roadmap to address them.
  • Manage and grow a high-performing accounting team, setting clear expectations and holding people accountable with both directness and care.
  • Leverage large, complex on-chain and off-chain data sets to investigate and resolve reconciliation variances, driving root cause analysis and implementing long-term solutions.
  • Work with the Director of Internal Controls on the design, documentation, and ongoing monitoring of SOX controls across digital asset accounting processes to ensure control effectiveness and audit readiness.

What We Look For

  • 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including at least 5 years in a people management role, ideally in fintech, digital assets, or a high-growth environment.
  • Deep knowledge of GAAP financial reporting as applied to digital assets, including tokenized securities, cryptocurrency, and trading activity; experience with emerging digital asset accounting standards preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with digital asset roll forwards, token issuance accounting, trading fee revenue recognition, DeFi pool accounting (liquidity pools, yield farming, impermanent loss), and blockchain-native transaction accounting.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and improving accounting systems and workflows, including optimizing tooling for digital asset tracking, accounting automation, and tax reporting, not just operating within them.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to work through complex, high-volume on-chain and off-chain data sets to resolve reconciliation variances.
  • Experience collaborating directly with Product and Engineering teams, with the ability to translate accounting requirements into product workflows and system design.
  • Exposure to digital assets, crypto, tokenized equity, or blockchain-based platforms; direct experience in a digital asset accounting role strongly preferred.
  • Experience with SOX compliance, including maintaining controls in a public company or pre-IPO environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of reporting digital asset financial status and risk clearly to Controllers, CFOs, or equivalent senior leadership.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, able to apply accounting judgment to novel digital asset structures where authoritative guidance is still evolving.

Salary

  • Base Compensation Range: $152,000-$228,000/yr
  • 25% annual bonus target, paid quarterly 
  • Company equity in the form of RSUs

This is the compensation range for the role in the United States. Actual compensation may vary based on a candidate’s experience, skills, location, internal equity, and evolving business needs. While most offers are generally made within the middle of the range, final compensation is determined based on the factors above.

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% employer-paid premiums for employees and their dependents on select plans
    Company HSA, FSA, Dependent Care FSA, 401(k), and commuter benefits
    Employer-paid life and disability insurance
