Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager

At Talos, you’ll find an environment that champions kindness and respect, values diverse perspectives, and upholds inclusivity at every turn. We believe every member of our team brings invaluable insights and abilities that drive Talos forward. In our pursuit of excellence, we foster a culture of trust, integrity, collaboration, and mutual growth.

We are a tight-knit yet globally distributed team of highly experienced engineers and business leaders, with hubs in New York, London, Singapore, and Cyprus. You’ll be part of a hybrid-friendly environment where your unique talents and insights will play a crucial role in building something extraordinary.

We are seeking a Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting Manager to own financial reporting and audits across our multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group. Reporting to the Global Controller, you will be the bridge between our business and our financial statements. You’ll turn new products and revenue streams, from SaaS subscriptions to digital asset trading and prediction markets, into sound accounting positions and scalable processes. This is a hands-on role for someone who can think from first principles where no playbook exists and still deliver audit-ready financial statements to deadline.
