Financial Operations Analyst – Reporting to the Controller

The Opportunity

As a Financial Operations Analyst at Nascent, your accounting experience and analytical mindset will be pivotal in supporting a dynamic, tech-forward, AI-first financial environment. In this critical contributor role, your core focus will be doing the heavy lifting on financial analysis for our internal custom accounting system to ensure accuracy and compliance. You’ll work closely with our Controller to maintain precise bookkeeping, optimize month-end close processes, and other day-to-day financial tasks that contribute to Nascent’s overall financial integrity.

You will thrive in this role if you are a high-agency human who is not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get in the weeds, enjoy operating at the intersection of finance and technology, and are deeply passionate about maximizing financial potential through analysis and optimization. If you’re a builder at heart with a keen interest in crypto and AI, this role could be the perfect fit for you. This is a remote role with opportunities for in-person collaboration, working within +/-3hrs of Eastern Standard Time.
