About Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs is a global blockchain payments company building and operating infrastructure to move money instantly, reliably, and at internet scale, with the mission to move all money onchain. It is building the Polygon Open Money Stack, an open and integrated stack of services and technologies to instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work. Its infrastructure has facilitated trillions of dollars in onchain value transfer and supported millions of transactions daily for some of the globe's largest banks, fintechs, enterprises, and consumer applications.

Your Role

We are building a world-class, best-in-class accounting team and are seeking an exceptional, driven, and hands-on professional with the discipline, ownership mindset, and commitment to deliver results at the highest level.

Reporting to the Controller, you will own core month-end close activities and play a key role in supporting Polygon Labs' global accounting operations in a high-growth, high-impact, rapidly evolving environment. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you will own critical areas of the close and reporting process, working with both traditional financial instruments and digital assets. You will be expected to use AI tooling daily to compress reconciliations, accelerate close, and remove manual work that traditionally bottlenecks accounting teams.

Success in this role requires close collaboration with accounting and finance leadership within a lean, flat structure. You will help maintain audit readiness, remediate historical financial data, and embed AI-assisted workflows into daily operations.

Your Responsibilities

  • Execute and support core accounting processes across multiple entities, ensuring accuracy, compliance, continuous audit readiness, financial integrity, and scalability in a complex global environment.

  • Execute timely and accurate month-end close activities, including journal entries, accruals, prepaid schedules, and intercompany reconciliations.

  • Reconcile bank accounts and digital asset wallets with high-volume transaction activity, using AI-assisted tooling to flag anomalies and accelerate review.

  • Perform crypto subledger reconciliations between NetSuite and digital asset systems, including maintaining rollforward schedules.

  • Perform entity-level financial statement flux analysis and prepare detailed variance reports (horizontal and vertical) for subsidiaries.

  • Support preparation of US GAAP financial statements and footnote disclosures across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Maintain audit-ready workpapers to support seamless external audit cycles.

  • Partner with Treasury on daily cash and crypto liquidity monitoring, funding bank accounts and wallets for AP, payroll and operational needs, and executing routine crypto-to-fiat conversions and transfers across banking partners and wallets.

  • Establish strong controls and AI-assisted workflows, treating automation as a core part of how you operate rather than a side project, to build a world-class finance function.

What You'll Need

  • 4+ years of progressive accounting experience under US GAAP, including exposure to complex accounting areas

  • Experience with NetSuite and high-volume reconciliations in a production environment

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment

  • Proficiency with Google Workspace, particularly Google Sheets

  • Demonstrated daily use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in your accounting work, with concrete examples of where AI has compressed close cycles, improved reconciliation accuracy, or replaced manual review steps

  • High learning velocity, you pick up new systems, standards, and tools quickly and rebuild your workflows around them

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting audits

  • Experience with crypto subledger tools and systems

  • Experience building lightweight automations or AI workflows (Python scripts, n8n, prompt chains) to support accounting operations

Apex Group CEO makes the case for tokenization as the key to unlocking private credit

Apex Group, a global fund administrator overseeing $3.5 trillion in assets, is aggressively expanding its tokenization infrastructure to democratize access to private-market deals for family offices and wealth managers. CEO Peter Hughes emphasizes that blockchain technology is the key to solving long-standing distribution inefficiencies in private credit and equity markets. The firm’s strategy includes the May 2025 acquisition of a majority stake in Tokeny, granting control over the Polygon-based T-REX Ledger for compliance-focused issuance. Following the July 2025 launch of its Apex Digital 3.0 platform, the company is managing the full lifecycle of tokenized assets including issuance, custody, and distribution. Apex has set a concrete target to reach $100 billion in tokenized assets under administration by June 2027. Furthermore, the firm is preparing for a strategic partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group scheduled for February 2026 to scale private fund tokenization. These efforts are supported by data from a May 2026 survey, which revealed that 50% of asset managers have already adopted tokenization strategies, with private credit being a primary focus. By leveraging its 36 regulatory licenses, Apex is transitioning from pilot programs to live institutional products, such as tokenized real estate on Goldman Sachs’ GS DAP platform.

Franklin Plans to Push Tokenized Assets Into Traditional Funds

Franklin Templeton is expanding its digital asset strategy by integrating tokenized assets directly into its traditional mutual funds. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between blockchain-based financial instruments and conventional investment vehicles, allowing for greater operational efficiency and liquidity. By leveraging its existing OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, which operates on the Stellar and Polygon blockchains, the firm seeks to streamline settlement processes and reduce administrative overhead. This move represents a significant shift in institutional asset management, as traditional funds begin to incorporate tokenized holdings as core components of their portfolios. The integration is expected to enhance transparency and accessibility for investors while maintaining compliance with established regulatory frameworks. As Franklin Templeton continues to scale its digital infrastructure, the broader financial industry is closely watching the impact on fund management workflows. This development underscores the growing institutional confidence in blockchain technology as a viable backend for mainstream financial products.

Bank of England tests stablecoin, digital pound interoperability in cross

The Bank of England’s Digital Pound Lab is conducting experiments to test the interoperability of stablecoins and a potential digital pound within cross-border trade finance. Collaborating with NOBO Finance, Dun & Bradstreet, and Polygon Labs, the project simulates a payment flow where exporters receive stablecoin advances while importers settle using digital pound simulations. This initiative aims to alleviate working capital constraints for small- and medium-sized businesses by reducing settlement delays inherent in traditional trade finance. Beyond payment rails, the project utilizes Polygon’s smart contract infrastructure to integrate commercial risk data into reusable credit profiles. These tests occur as the Bank of England develops a regulatory framework for systemic sterling-denominated stablecoins, including proposed reserve requirements and issuance caps. While the central bank has not committed to issuing a digital pound, these experiments reflect a broader strategic effort to modernize UK financial infrastructure. The work aligns with the Bank's ongoing transition toward 24/7 settlement systems and the integration of tokenized assets into the national financial ecosystem.
