At&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coinbase.com/?utm_campaign=mt_o_m_w_m_m__coi_0_jd-onchain&amp;amp;utm_source=coinbase&quot;&gt;Coinbase&lt;/a&gt;, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn&#39;t a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you&#39;re ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for &quot;good enough,&quot; you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coinbase.com/careers&quot;&gt;learn more about working at Coinbase&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. To achieve this, we are building the most trusted and comprehensive platform for institutions to participate in the crypto economy. We are seeking a very specific candidate: someone who is passionate about our mission, relishes the pressure of solving the industry&#39;s hardest problems, and actively seeks feedback to operate as part of a championship team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a Senior Accountant, Brokerage and Derivatives on the Finance team&#39;s Accounting - Books &amp;amp; Records group, you&#39;ll own core accounting, close, controls, and regulatory reporting for Coinbase&#39;s registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Broker-Dealer entities.

&lt;li&gt;Partner with cross-functional teams on new product launches and business initiatives, ensuring accounting and regulatory readiness from inception.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Direct experience preferred with regulatory reporting and compliance in environments governed by FINRA, SEC, CFTC, or NFA requirements.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrated ability to translate complex business activity into sound accounting processes and communicate technical issues clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proven track record managing multiple concurrent priorities across audit, close, and reporting cycles while maintaining accuracy under regulatory deadlines.&lt;/li&gt;
