Senior Accounting Associate

Location: Preference for New York, NY or Miami, FL

Company and Role Overview 

Twenty One Capital, Inc. is a Bitcoin-focused operating company. Designed to pair one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries in the public markets with operating businesses, Twenty One aims to provide shareholders with direct, capital-efficient exposure to Bitcoin through a growing Bitcoin-native platform. Twenty One Capital, Inc. is based in Austin, Texas, with teams in New York City and Miami. Twenty One Capital, Inc. is publicly listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol “XXI”.  

Twenty One Capital is a public company with a small team and a large balance sheet. We are seeking a Senior Accounting Associate to run the mechanics of the month-end close: journal entries, reconciliations, account analysis, and the supporting documentation behind each balance.

It is a hands-on seat with unusual exposure. On a Finance team this size, work prepared here goes directly into the company's external reporting and in front of external audit — so it is held to public-company standard from the first month, and the person doing it can see how what they prepare is used.

The measure of the role: the close lands on the calendar with every balance supported, and a reviewer can follow any account to its source without needing a conversation.

Your Key Responsibilities 

Close and General Ledger

• Delivers the monthly, quarterly, and annual close to the calendar, working to the close checklist rather than to memory.
• Prepares and posts journal entries with supporting documentation attached at the point of posting, not assembled afterwards.
• Maintains the general ledger so transactions are recorded accurately, in the right period, and in the right account.
• Handles the recurring cycle: accruals, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, and intercompany accounting and reconciliations as the structure requires.

Reconciliation and Analysis

• Prepares balance sheet reconciliations and investigates reconciling items to a cause. An item is cleared or explained, never carried forward.
• Performs account analysis and researches unusual or unexpected fluctuations before they are asked about.
• Maintains the supporting schedules behind balance sheet and income statement accounts, in a form the next person can pick up.

Reporting Support

• Prepares the schedules and documentation that feed quarterly and annual reporting, to the external reporting timetable set by the Senior Manager, SEC Reporting & Accounting.
• Supports the preparation of financial statements and management reporting packages. External reporting is owned by the Senior Manager; this role supplies the substantiated inputs.

Audit, Controls, and Systems

• Owns audit requests allocated to this seat — prepared completely and on the date agreed, so the company is not the reason a request is outstanding.
• Operates the close controls as designed and supports SOX and other internal control activity.
• Improves what is manual. The role is expected to identify weak process, poor documentation, and avoidable effort, and to propose the fix rather than absorb the cost of it.
• Supports accounting systems work: implementation, configuration, and maintenance of the tools the close runs on.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance.
• Two or more years of progressive accounting experience.
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. GAAP.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and self-directed follow-through.
• Clear written support for the work: a reviewer should not need a conversation to follow it.

Preferred

• CPA license, or active CPA candidate.
• Experience at a rapidly growing or publicly traded company.
• NetSuite or comparable ERP.
• Workiva or comparable SEC reporting and disclosure management software.
• Experience contributing to SOX 404 compliance.
• Familiarity with digital-asset accounting — a plus on top of solid GAAP fundamentals, not a substitute for them.

The estimated salary for this role is $100,000-120,000. Actual placement within this range will depend on experience, skills, and qualifications.
