• Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and the broader Onyx finance team on entity-level accounting and regulatory matters.
• Establish and maintain policies, procedures, workpapers, and reporting infrastructure for the FCM finance function.

• Ability to apply regulatory requirements to day-to-day financial processes and develop expertise in FCM-specific obligations.
• Strong judgment, attention to detail, and accountability for accurate, timely work.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain financial and regulatory matters to teams outside finance.
• An interest in building systems and processes while staying close to daily execution.
