Head of Crypto Tax in London

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 are 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 centre of Koinly. You will serve as the Point of Contact (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 is product-facing, partner-facing, and externally visible.

We are 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.

• The mission: Act as the single Point of Contact (POC) for all tax matters across Product, Marketing, and Partnerships.
• Team: Leadership / Cross-functional
• 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
• Visa sponsorship: No
• Perks: 32 days PTO, 100% Async culture, flexible schedule, and true autonomy.

Responsibilities:

• 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.

Requirements:

• You are a US tax expert: You have 4+ years of experience specialising in capital gains and digital asset taxation, with a deep, technical understanding of IRS reporting.
• You are a qualified CPA: You hold an active CPA license and have the technical rigor that comes with it.
• You are crypto-native: You do not just study the tech; you use it. You have hands-on experience navigating staking, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and complex on-chain transactions.
• You are hands-on and client-facing: You have 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 have an entrepreneurial mindset: You thrive on ownership. You do not say 'it depends' but rather make definitive judgement calls in evolving areas to ensure the product remains both compliant and user-friendly.
• You are digitally active: You maintain a presence on platforms like X, LinkedIn, or Reddit and enjoy engaging publicly to lead the conversation on crypto tax.
• You are a confident representative: You are as comfortable representing Koinly in a high-stakes partner meeting as you are speaking at an industry event or hosting a live webinar.

This is not the fit for you if:

• 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 are 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.
