Finance Lead

About Sherlock Sherlock believes that access to a sound currency and a functioning financial system should be basic human rights. Sherlock’s mission is to help create an open, uncensorable financial system that is secure enough for billions of people to trust with their life savings.  Traditional blockchain security reviews are a good start, but it’s not enough. That's why Sherlock provides protocols with state-of-the-art, incentive-aligned audit contests, bug bounties and AI auditing. Sherlock’s audit contests combine the best of traditional auditing with a competitive twist that results in hundreds of eyes (and AIs) looking at a codebase and some of the best security experts in the world surfacing issues that traditional audits miss.  Sherlock is the leader in auditing, running more public audits than any other provider last year. Ethereum, Ripple, Aave, Morpho, Tempo and the biggest crypto teams in the world choose Sherlock for their security needs.Join Sherlock’s elite team on the ground floor, backed by some of the best Web3 and Silicon Valley VC firms such as Alliance, Archetype, IDEO, CoinFund, Lattice, Spartan, A Capital, and many others.  Sherlock's Culture Sherlock's culture is fast-moving, intense, and not right for everyone. Here are some common attributes among historically successful team members at Sherlock: Mission-focusAnyone in this for reasons other than creating the best financial coordination mechanism in history will either get too demotivated to last through multi-year bear markets or get too distracted during the frothy bull markets. Willingness to work long, hard and smartIf Sherlock has any advantage, it is the willingness to work harder and think with more discipline than anyone else. This includes thinking from first principles about all important decisions and always thinking in tradeoffs and bets.  Owner mentalityTeam members get ownership in Sherlock after a short time in this role, and each is expected to act like an owner of a Michelin-star restaurant where no detail is too small. Builder mentalityEveryone at Sherlock is deep in the arena getting their hands dirty and this is a vulnerable position. There are no pure "idea people" or pure managers at Sherlock; everyone is in execution mode first and foremost. Customer focusIt is too easy to sit behind a computer and build in an echo chamber. We must go out of our way to experience the customer's viewpoint as often as possible. Professional athlete mentalityProfessional athletes opt in to a high-performance, meritocratic culture. This creates an environment that brings out the best in people and rewards each for their respective performance. But it's also an environment where being in the 70th percentile in your role means you will have a short tenure on the team. Comfort with directness and transparencyYou should be comfortable giving direct feedback to others and receiving direct feedback yourself. "Not ruffling feathers" comes at the expense of moving in a suboptimal direction for too long. Sherlock is extremely transparent internally (and with customers) which means you can get involved in decisions made in any part of Sherlock.  The Role We are looking for a Finance Lead to own our finance, accounting, tax, payroll, and treasury operations, and to help shape the financial decisions that guide the business. This role blends strategic finance work, such as forecasting and pricing, with the hands-on execution needed to keep a fast-moving company running smoothly across both traditional finance and digital assets. It is a very hands-on role where you will wear multiple hats.  What You Will Do Financial Planning and Analysis Track current cash balances across on-chain and off-chain accounts Build and maintain financial models and projections, including profit forecasts Analyze key business metrics and how they change over time to inform decision making Contribute to pricing strategy and implementation for new and existing products Acc...
