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.
