About the role
It’s rare that a new asset class is born. Nevertheless, we’re witnessing exactly that with the rise of crypto. Over just the last few years, since Bitwise was founded, crypto has evolved from an embryonic $50B market to a growing $3T+ juggernaut. At Bitwise, we believe that crypto has reached a turning point, and is headed north of $10T over the next few years.
This is an exciting moment for Bitwise as a firm. For eight years, we have established a track record of excellence managing a broad suite of index and active solutions across ETFs, separately managed accounts, private funds, institutional staking, and hedge fund strategies. This year, we crossed $15B in client assets and are growing quickly. Thousands of financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors partner with Bitwise to understand and access the opportunities in crypto. We are known for providing unparalleled client support through expert research and commentary, a nationwide client team of crypto specialists, and deep access to the crypto ecosystem.
Currently, Bitwise is a close-knit team of 100+ global professionals. Think of us as a mix of an asset manager and a tech start-up. We’re backed by some of the most accomplished investors in venture capital and veterans of the financial services world. We love working together, we love what we do, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.
About the Role:
We are seeking a hands-on, highly analytical Senior Manager of FP&A to help scale financial planning and decision support across Bitwise's growing global business. This person will own key planning and reporting workstreams, translate product and operational drivers into actionable financial insights, and serve as a strong finance partner to business leaders. The role combines rigorous financial modeling with practical process improvement, including helping implement and evolve our FP&A platform.

- Maintain and improve an integrated financial model linking actuals and forecasts across revenue, expenses, headcount, cash, and business scenarios.
- Build bottom-up product and fund economics for ETFs, ETPs, SMAs, staking, and other investment strategies, including AUM, flows, fees, distribution costs, and product profitability.
- Lead departmental expense planning, vendor forecasting, headcount and compensation planning, and resource allocation in partnership with Accounting, HR, and budget owners.
- Partner with Accounting to ensure planning data and management reporting reconcile to NetSuite and reflect consistent GL, entity, and product mappings.
- Play a leading role in implementing and optimizing Drivetrain and its connections to NetSuite, Rippling, and other operating data sources; strengthen controls and model governance.
- Develop scenarios and business cases for launches, strategic partnerships, investments, and operating decisions.
- Identify opportunities for simpler, more scalable forecasting, automation, data quality, and financial reporting processes.
Role Requirements:
- 6–9+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment management finance, investment banking, or a similarly analytical environment.
- Experience in asset management or financial services strongly preferred, including familiarity with investment products and fee-based business models.
- Strong financial statement fluency and accounting fundamentals, with the ability to bridge GAAP actuals, management reporting, and forward-looking operating drivers.
- Exceptional Excel and financial modeling skills; proven ability to build transparent, flexible, auditable models without unnecessary complexity.
- Demonstrated ownership of budgeting, forecasting, executive reporting, and cross-functional finance processes.
- Ability to communicate concise, decision-useful analysis to senior leaders and challenge assumptions constructively.
- Strong attention to detail, project management, initiative, and the judgment to balance precision with speed.
- Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related discipline preferred.
- Comfort with multi-entity and international operations, allocations, currencies, and granular product profitability is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with FP&A and ERP systems; NetSuite experience preferred and experience implementing a modern planning platform a plus.
