Job description

Overview
 
Organizations across industries are rapidly integrating digital assets into their operations, finance, and technology strategies. As they do so, they confront a complex and evolving tax environment that requires multidisciplinary experience, sophisticated structuring, and ongoing technical guidance.
 
BPM's Digital Assets practice offers an opportunity to engage directly with industry-defining companies while contributing to market insights, thought leadership, and the advancement of institutional adoption.
This role is designed for a tax professional who is passionate about the blockchain and digital-asset ecosystem, thrives on technical depth, and wants responsibility for both client leadership and business development in a fast-moving sector.
 
The Team
 
BPM has been one of the earliest and most committed professional-services providers to the digital-asset industry, serving the ecosystem for more than a decade. Our team blends tax, accounting, advisory, operational, and industry expertise to support companies across the full digital-asset lifecycle.
We advise global enterprises adopting blockchain solutions, Web3 protocols and developers, miners and validators, exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers, digital-asset funds, and institutional market participants evaluating tokenization, staking, yield strategies, and DeFi platforms.
 
Our work extends well beyond tax compliance. We support clients with:
       Token economics and token-flow analysis
       Cross-border structuring and international tax planning
       Revenue recognition frameworks and digital-asset accounting
       Institutional adoption initiatives, including stablecoin use cases and RWA tokenization
       Governance, risk, and compliance programs
       Educational materials, research reports, and market insights that help clients and regulators navigate a fast-evolving landscape
 
This environment offers both substantive technical work and opportunities to shape the firm's view of the market through research, publication, and external engagement.
 
 

Note: Open to candidates nationwide. Those within 45 minutes of a BPM office will be expected to follow a hybrid schedule.

 
 
 
 
What You'll Do
As a Director, you will lead multidimensional tax engagements, drive marketplace eminence, and help scale BPM's footprint across the digital-asset ecosystem.
 
Client and Technical Leadership
       Advise clients on entity structuring, tokenomics, sourcing rules, transaction characterization, revenue recognition, and cross-border tax implications.
       Conduct and review advanced tax research, agreements, models, and filings associated with digital-asset transactions and business models.
       Present complex concepts clearly to founders, executives, investment teams, and legal counsel.
       Translate industry developments, market structure considerations, and protocol mechanics into impactful tax strategies.
 
Research, Market Intelligence, and Thought Leadership
Consistent with leading global advisory practices, this role includes a meaningful contribution to the firm's market perspective and external visibility:
       Stay attuned to market trends, regulatory shifts, developments in DeFi and stablecoin design, token-economics structures, and broader institutional adoption of blockchain technologies.
       Lead or co-author thought-leadership materials such as white papers, executive briefs, technical alerts, and market commentary that shape BPM's public voice in the digital-asset ecosystem.
       Interpret industry developments and emerging technologies to inform client strategies, tax planning approaches, and internal guidance frameworks.
       Deliver presentations and educational content that clearly articulate complex digital-asset issues for clients, conferences, industry groups, and internal leadership.
       Partner with practice leaders to establish thematic priorities, publication pipelines, and coordinated external messaging across the digital-asset practice.
 
Engagement Management and Client Service
       Serve as the primary engagement manager for advisory and compliance projects.
       Oversee timelines, budgets, resourcing, staff development, and quality control.
       Ensure deliverables meet BPM's standards across technical accuracy, documentation, and communication.
 
People Development
       Train and mentor staff on both tax fundamentals and digital-asset concepts.
       Support the development of internal technical frameworks and knowledge-management systems.
       Promote a learning culture through structured feedback and hands-on coaching.
       Champion sustainable workplace practices by supporting remote-first operations, promoting paperless workflows through digital collaboration tools, participating in recycling initiatives to minimize paper use, and consistently demonstrate alignment with BPM's values.
 
 
Business Development and Marketplace Engagement
A major and intentional part of this role.
       Participate in client and engagement pursuits, including scoping, proposal development, and pitch meetings.
       Represent BPM through webinars, conference speaking engagements, podcasts, roundtables, and other industry events.
       Produce educational materials for enterprise clients, partner organizations, and industry groups.
       Support ecosystem relationships, including strategic alliances, technology partners, and regulatory or policy-education initiatives.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree.
  • CPA license, JD, or EA 
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in corporate or partnership tax, M&A tax, international tax, financial instruments, controversy, or structured transaction analysis.
  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to convert technical complexity into actionable insights.

  • Knowledge of digital-asset market structure, blockchain fundamentals, token mechanics, or on-chain analytics tools preferred but not required.
  • Ability to work remotely or in a hybrid model and to travel up to approximately 20 percent.
  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a demonstrable interest in crypto, DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, or emerging financial technology.
BPM Offers:
  • Balance & Flexibility: 14 firm holidays (including 2 floating), Flex PTO, paid family leave, winter break, summer hours, and remote work options.
  • Total Rewards: personalized benefits, including 401(k) employer match; multiple medical, dental, vision offerings with up to 90% employerpaid premiums; and pet insurance.

  • Professional Development: performancebased bonuses, dedicated coaching, and rich learning through BPM University.
Who is successful at BPM:
  • Caring people who put others first

  • Authentic individuals with a diverse point of view 
  • Lifelong learners with a drive to excel
