Technical Accounting & SOX Manager

At Exodus, financial integrity, audit readiness, and strong internal controls are foundational to our success as a public company. We are seeking a Technical Accounting & SOX Manager to own the company’s SOX program while also leading technical accounting policy, research, and implementation. This role ensures Exodus can consistently demonstrate that its financial reporting controls are well designed, consistently executed, and fully evidenced, and that accounting conclusions on complex technical matters are well supported, documented, and defensible. This role sits at the intersection of accounting, controls, audit, and systems. It is ideal for a technically strong accounting leader who is highly organized, detail oriented, and comfortable partnering cross functionally to drive both compliance and operational efficiency.

What You Will Do

• Own the SOX control environment end to end, including the master list of controls (RCMs), narratives, flowcharts, control design, and risk alignment across key business processes.
• Manage quarterly SOX refresh cycles and control execution, tracking performance throughout the quarter to ensure controls are performed on time, properly documented, and supported by complete audit ready evidence.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external auditors for SOX and technical accounting matters, coordinating walkthroughs, testing requests, evidence delivery, and issue resolution.
• Maintain and manage the control deficiency and remediation log, ensuring remediation plans are executed, documented, and re tested within required timelines.
• Continuously improve the SOX framework by enhancing control precision, identifying opportunities for automation or simplification, and ensuring documentation accurately reflects real processes.
• Lead technical accounting research and policy development, including drafting and owning technical accounting memos for complex transactions such as revenue recognition, digital assets, equity, derivatives, and potential mergers or acquisitions.
• Own and maintain the company’s accounting policy framework, including drafting new policies, updating existing policies, and implementing new GAAP standards on a timely basis.
• Ensure that accounting policies, technical conclusions, and process changes are appropriately integrated into control design and execution.
• Partner with accounting, IT, and cross functional teams on system implementations, process changes, and automation initiatives to ensure controls are embedded, scalable, and audit ready.
• Support the monthly close and reporting process by reviewing key reconciliations, analyses, and journal entries for technical accuracy and control compliance.
• Act as a trusted advisor to accounting leadership by proactively identifying accounting or control risks, communicating impacts clearly, and resolving issues ahead of quarter end and audit milestones.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience, with leadership roles in public company accounting.
