Overview

We believe access to stable currency is a human right. We’re changing financial systems of high inflation economies so everyone can protect the value of their money. Our app users in Latin America can easily save and spend in US dollars, without worrying about their money devaluing overnight.

In the short term, we aim to support regular citizens in high-inflation economies transacting in digital US dollars, escaping the issues posed by hyperinflation. In the long term, Reserve aims to build tools that guarantee access to stable currency, offering our service worldwide and eventually launching a currency independent of the US dollar. Reserve is ultimately a cryptocurrency project, but what we’re doing right now is more like Cash App meets BitTorrent.

Why We’re Hiring

We’ve been primarily focused on developing our product and getting it out in the world. Our app hosts about 15,000 transactions per day, and that number has been growing about 10% weekly. We’re turning our attention to developing and streamlining internal processes and infrastructure that will support our work as we continue to grow. We need an accountant who can jump onboard, roll up their sleeves, and help streamline and expand our financial management infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

You’ll review our current accounting systems and propose and implement concrete steps to streamline or scale existing processes. To do this, you’ll need to combine your accounting know-how with a high tolerance for outside-the-box thinking in a quickly evolving start-up environment.

About You

You are meticulous and investigative, quickly dissecting problems into their component parts and actively researching and testing solutions. However, you can balance this meticulousness with adaptability, allowing you to act effectively in times of changing priorities and uncertainty. You’re comfortable taking initiative and forming your own plans in situations where established policies or procedures don’t exist.
