Head of Crypto Tax

Own tax logic within our product, shape how complex crypto activity is translated into clear outcomes, and represent Koinly externally with partners, communities, and at industry events.

Koinly is a leading crypto tax platform helping millions of users calculate gains, generate reports, and stay on top of their crypto finances. We work with major exchanges and tax platforms globally and sit at the intersection of crypto and tax.

We're hiring a Head of Crypto Tax to act as the subject matter expert for our product roadmap and voice for technical tax topics.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional leadership role at the center of Koinly
. You'll serve as the POC for all tax-related matters, bridging the gap between technical product logic, strategic marketing, and high-level partnerships.
This is not a traditional back-office tax role — it’s product-facing, partner-facing, and externally visible.

We’re a remote-first, async-first startup with deep product-market fit in the booming crypto-fintech space. If you value autonomy, technical excellence, and high-impact strategy, Koinly is the place for you.

Read on for responsibilities and requirements 👇

• The mission: Act as the single Point of Contact (POC) for all tax matters across Product, Marketing, and Partnerships.
• Report to: CEO
• Location: Remote, based in United States (US), preferably California.
• Employment: Full-time
• Salary: TBD based on experience
• Experience level: 4+ years of accounting experience
• Perks: 32 days PTO, 100% Async culture, flexible schedule, and true autonomy.

Sit at the intersection of product compliance, strategic partnerships, and industry education.

• Own the tax logic and correctness of Koinly’s outputs (e.g., capital gains, Form 8949, 1099-DA, DeFi treatment).
• Provide clear positions on complex or ambiguous crypto scenarios and help shape roadmap priorities.
• Support strategic partnerships (exchanges, tax software providers, ecosystem partners) as the tax lead.
• Represent Koinly publicly through events, webinars, social platforms, and community engagement.
• Collaborate with Marketing to produce high-quality educational and thought leadership content.
• Stay deeply immersed in the crypto ecosystem and emerging market practices globally.

• You're a US tax expert: You've got 4+ years of experience specializing in capital gains and digital asset taxation, with a deep, technical understanding of IRS reporting.
• You're a qualified CPA: You hold an active CPA license and have the technical rigor that comes with it.
• You're crypto-native: You don’t just study the tech; you use it. You've hands-on experience navigating staking, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and complex on‑chain transactions.
• You're hands‑on and client‑facing: You've spent time in the trenches with clients or users. You know how to take a complex problem, look someone in the eye (or the camera), and walk them through the solution.
• You've got an entrepreneurial mindset: You thrive on ownership. You don't say "it depends" but rather make definitive judgement calls in evolving areas to ensure the product remains both compliant and user-friendly.
• You're digitally active: You maintain a presence on platforms like X, Linked In, or Reddit and enjoy engaging publicly to lead the conversation on crypto tax.
• You're a confident representative: You're as comfortable representing Koinly in a high‑stakes partner meeting as you're speaking at an industry event or hosting a live webinar.

• You prefer a "back-office" role where you never have to speak to a user, partner, or camera.
• You require 100% regulatory certainty before taking a position or providing product guidance.
• You view crypto through a traditional lens rather than as a fundamental shift in finance.

If you're a "chronically online" expert tired of traditional accounting and ready to own the narrative for a global leader in a high-stakes industry, this is your seat. At Koinly, you’ll have the autonomy to build, the data to grow, and the authority to lead.

• Remote-first and async-first.
• Global team.
• Deep product-market fit in crypto fintech.
• High ownership, low bureaucracy.
• Direct impact on how millions of users report crypto taxes.

If you are a CPA who is deeply embedded in crypto and ready to define how digital asset taxation is operationalized at scale, this is your opportunity.
