Ready to Lead in Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and Digital Asset Accounting Advisory?

At DLA, we partner with some of the most innovative companies shaping the future of crypto, blockchain, and Web3 financial services-and we're looking for experienced leaders ready to make an impact. Whether your background is in audit, technical accounting, risk, compliance, or fintech consulting, you'll thrive here with a team that values technical excellence, collaboration, integrity, and a people-first culture.

We're hiring a Senior Manager with deep expertise in cryptocurrency, digital assets, and blockchain technology to join our Accounting Advisory practice. In this role, you'll advise clients across the digital asset ecosystem-including crypto hedge funds, tokenization platforms, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, stablecoin issuers, custodians, fintech startups, and digital exchanges-on complex US GAAP accounting, SEC reporting, and regulatory compliance challenges.

What You'll Do

You'll lead high-impact projects at the intersection of accounting and emerging technologies. Your day-to-day may include:
  • Advising clients across crypto, blockchain, fintech, and Web3 on accounting, valuation, and financial reporting matters
  • Reviewing and preparing US GAAP financial statements, SEC disclosures, and audit workpapers for digital asset companies
  • Supporting clients through IPO readiness, SPAC/de-SPAC transactions, capital markets reporting, and regulatory compliance
  • Leading and mentoring a team of consultants, building expertise in crypto and blockchain advisory services
  • Contributing to business development, thought leadership, and market visibility in the digital asset and Web3 consulting space


What You'll Bring

We know great team members come from many paths. Typically, we look for:
  • A degree in Accounting
  • 7+ years of experience in audit, advisory, or financial reporting, with direct digital assets, fintech, or blockchain exposure
  • Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, SOX, COSO, and financial reporting for crypto transactions
  • Experience leading teams and managing client relationships
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • CPA required
  • Experience with IPOs, SPACs, or capital markets transactions a plus
  • "Big 4" or top advisory firm experience strongly preferred


Why Join DLA?

We're not your typical firm. DLA combines the expertise of a national advisory practice with the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit of a startup. You'll work with leaders who value your voice, invest in your growth, and support your career journey. Here's what sets us apart:
  • Emphasis on work-life balance compared to traditional audit firms
  • Flexible PTO (plus your birthday as a holiday)
  • Direct client exposure from day one
  • Career path to leadership & Partner
  • Hybrid work model with flexibility built in
  • 401(k) match, referral programs, and comprehensive benefits
