Transaction Analyst

Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Camuso CPA Full time

Join the premier crypto-native accounting firm recognized by Forbes as a 2025 Best-In-State Top CPA.

We're hiring a Junior
Transaction Analyst
to support forensic blockchain data reconstruction for tax, audit and financial reporting. This is a high-volume, repetitive, accuracy-driven forensic digital asset processing inside an accounting firm.

We serve high-net-worth crypto investors, protocols, startups, and blockchain enabled businesses with elite tax, accounting, and advisory services.

We are looking for forensic-style data thinkers who want to build mastery in digital asset analysis with direct impact on accounting, tax, and compliance deliverables.

Camuso CPA is not hiring seat-fillers. We're building a new wave of crypto-native operators from the ground up.

You will clean messy datasets, trace wallet-to-wallet fund flows, rebuild transaction histories, categorize thousands of crypto transactions and create audit-ready outputs.

Work is rule-based, SOP-driven, and requires strong written documentation. You must enjoy deep-focus work, financial logic, and precision.

Why This Role is Rare

  • You'll work in the most complex data ecosystem in modern finance: on-chain transaction tracing and high-volume digital asset analytics.
  • You'll work directly with a Forbes-recognized U.S. firm, not through an agency or middleman.
  • You'll gain the skills few global analysts possess: parsing blockchain datasets, tracing fund flows across chains, identifying wallet behavior patterns, and decoding crypto financial activity at scale.
  • You'll be mentored directly by elite talent (accountants and analysts) in both the U.S. and South Africa and have the opportunity to earn your way into higher roles as we grow.

This Role Is Not for You If:

  • You can't work U.S. EST hours full-time (6am–3pm EST)
  • You're working multiple jobs or freelance gigs
  • You have zero interest in crypto, DeFi, or Web3
  • You can't pass a background check
  • You're uncomfortable doing cleanup work and SOP-based tasks
  • You want soft deadlines and low-pressure workflows
  • You need hand-holding, reminders or soft accountability

About Camuso CPA

We were:

  • The first U.S. firm to accept crypto
  • Featured in Accounting Today, Financial Times and more
  • Named a 2025 Best-In-State Top CPA by Forbes
  • Featured in Accounting Today for digital asset accounting approach
  • Focused exclusively on crypto investors and Web3 companies

We're building a firm that understands the complexity of on-chain finance, supports elite founders and redefines what remote accounting can be.

The Role: Junior Data Analysts (Crypto Cost Basis Reconstruction + Web3 Accounting)

This is a full-time, remote contractor role. You'll work across:

  • Crypto investors (traders, LPs, investors, DeFi users)
  • Web3 companies (DAOs, protocols, exchanges, Web3 startups)
  • Digital founders (SaaS, eComm, agencies, content creators)

Primary focus will be crypto cost basis recontruction, categorization, and reconciliation. You may also be assigned web3 and digital founder engagements depending on capacity and workload.

Core Responsibilities

  • Analyze high-volume on-chain datasets (100K+ transactions, 100+ wallets)
  • Trace fund flows across chains, bridges, CEXs, and wallets
  • Perform data cleaning, normalization, categorization, and reconciliation
  • Use blockchain explorers (Etherscan, Solscan, BTC explorers, etc.)
  • Identify wallet patterns, tagging anomalies, and transaction behavior
  • Support preparation of analytical datasets for accounting & tax reporting
  • Work with CSV exports, API pulls, and raw blockchain data
  • Build clear, structured working papers and documentation
  • Follow SOPs and replicate analytical processes consistently
  • Participate in daily team check-ins

This is NOT a BI, dashboarding, SQL warehouse, or corporate analytics role.

Our analysts work in a forensic, accounting-adjacent environment where the primary responsibilities include:

  • tracing on-chain fund flows
  • cleaning and normalizing raw transactional datasets
  • structuring large datasets into audit-ready outputs
  • identifying patterns in blockchain activity
  • supporting accounting & tax workflows with accurate data

If you are motivated by:

  • transactional accuracy
  • forensic analysis
  • pattern recognition
  • structured SOP-driven workflows
  • making messy data clean and reliable
  • You enjoy structured, routine, repetitive analytical work and take pride in accuracy, not creative analytics or open-ended projects.

You will thrive here.

If you prefer:

  • dashboards
  • visualization projects
  • UX/product analytics
  • AI experimentation
  • high-level strategy presentations

This role is not a fit.

This role is forensic data work within an accounting firm. You must genuinely want to build expertise in accounting-side data integrity, transaction tracing, and reconciliation not business analytics or modeling. It is ideal for detail-focused thinkers who enjoy precision work, pattern detection, anomaly hunting and structured workflows.

We require a minimum 2–4 year commitment. If you see this as a stepping stone to BI, SQL engineering, or data science, you will not enjoy this role.

80% of this role is repetitive forensic transaction analysis, cleanup, and reconciliation. If you prefer variety, creative analysis, or changing problem sets, this is not a fit.

Client Types & Tools

You'll serve:

  • Crypto investors: Traders, DeFi users, token investors
  • Web3 businesses: Startups, DAOs, protocols, exchanges
  • Digital founders: SaaS , agencies, eComm

You'll use:

  • CoinTracking, Cryptoworth, Bitwave, Cryptio, Koinly, QuickBooks Online, Xero and many other related softwares
  • Blockchain explorers (Etherscan, Solscan, Bitcoin, Tezos, etc.)
  • Excel

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's in Data Science, Statistics, Information Systems, Accounting or Finance (or in final year)
  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through
  • Fluent written English
  • Ability to follow SOPs and deliver formatted work
  • Basic familiarity with crypto (wallets, exchanges, transactions)
  • Comfort working with large, unformatted datasets
  • Experience following SOPs and submitting formatted work

Must Be Able to:

  • Clean and structure raw data sets
  • Trace on-chain fund flows
  • Clean up years of crypto data and categorize by transaction type
  • Work with CSVs, multi-sheet files, and unformatted data
  • Learn blockchain explorer workflows quickly
  • Communicate clearly in ClickUp/Slack/Notion
  • Follow instructions precisely

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience withPython, SQL or Excel power tools
  • Blockchain analysis or crypto forensic experience
  • Personal crypto investments or wallet management

How We Measure Success

  • Speed + accuracy of data cleanup and wallet tracing
  • SOP adherence and documentation quality
  • Responsiveness and communication

  • Ability to support accounting pods with clean datasets
  • Security, Compliance & Data Expectations

  • Password-protected devices and cloud storage
  • No public/shared devices or open Wi-Fi
  • VPN strongly preferred

You will sign:

  • NDA + IP assignment
  • Non-compete (no freelance crypto or accounting clients)
  • Consent to background check

Communication & Turnaround Requirements

  • Respond to Slack and ClickUp within 1 business hours (during work hours)
  • Submit work within agreed deadlines
  • Attend weekly Zoom check-ins and submit daily progress reports
  • Communicate clearly about roadblocks or delays

Growth Track

All new hires:

  • Start in a supervised training phase

  • Progress onto live client work as skills are demonstrated

  • High performers advance faster than traditional firms

  • Promotion is performance-based, not time-based

Many team members join without crypto experience and grow into senior roles through this program.

If you want accelerated learning, real responsibility, and a clear path forward, this role is designed for you.

Hiring Process

  • LinkedIn screening Q&A
  • Initial video interview
  • Final interview
  • Full-time workload

Terms

  • Full-time contractor (40 hrs/week expected off-season, 50-60 hrs/week expected busy season)
  • Remote-only with overlap required: U.S. EST (6am–3pm)
  • Paid monthly
  • LinkedIn title must reflect: "Remote Analysts"
  • Do not publicly list Camuso CPA or crypto role due to client privacy

Note on Hours & Worklow

Due to our firm's rapid growth and the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency and Web3 industry, the role will require flexibility and a willingness to commit to longer hours during peak periods. This includes tax season and other high-demand times throughout the year. For the right candidate, this is an exciting opportunity to grow alongside our firm while gaining deep expertise in an evolving and cutting-edge industry.

We are a fast-growing firm still in start-up mode, which means roles and responsibilities may evolve as we scale. If you're seeking a dynamic and positive environment where you can make a real impact and grow alongside an industry-leading team, this position is for you

You're a Fit If…

  • You finish what you start
  • You thrive in ambiguity but deliver clean work
  • You know how to use Google and AI and solve problems independently
  • You want long-term growth, not just a paycheck
  • You are detail oriented and willing to work hard
