About this role
ether.fi is seeking a Head of Finance to manage the finance function, overseeing month-end processes, audits, budgets, and treasury operations within a growing DeFi protocol.
Description
About [ether.fi](http://ether.fi)
ether.fi is one of the largest DeFi protocols on Ethereum. We started with weETH, a liquid staking token that now secures billions of dollars of staked ETH, and built outward from there: the Liquid vault range, which runs automated yield strategies across ETH, stablecoins and BTC, and [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) Cash, a Visa card and neobank product that lets users spend directly against their on-chain balances. Behind the protocol is a group of operating companies in Cayman, Brazil, the US, Canada and the UAE, including a regulated investment manager and a licensed VASP. We are continuing to open new markets and add additional regulated products, with finance playing a key role in this expansion.Responsibilities

- Lead our statutory audits.
- Own the annual budget and monthly budget vs actuals. Every material assumption needs to be documented and something you can defend.
- Cash forecasting.
- Daily liquidity monitoring across fiat, stables and crypto. Weekly portfolio review and rebalancing to targets set by the CFO. Moving funds for payroll and payments.
- Put intercompany agreements and a transfer pricing model in place with our advisers.
