What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with a passion for technology and finance. The ideal candidate will have:

  • A 2:1 or higher degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics
  • A legitimate interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and the future of digital finance
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities in addition to excellent numerical and written communication skills
  • Commitment to completing the ICAEW ACA qualification over three years
  • Ability to work full-time in our office in Central London
  • Must be graduating/graduated from a top 10 University


About Us

For nearly a century, our client has been building a firm as accountants, auditors, tax specialists and close advisors to clients operating in emerging markets, disrupting the status quo.

This has accelerated thanks to the blockchain. In 2017, a client asked to help with an ICO and they have been crypto pilled ever since, developing into what is currently the leading professional services firm on chain.

In 2023, they opened a new leg of the business to carve out a team dedicated to all things Web3, which is now over 80 strong and servicing near 600 digital asset clients globally. They partner with some of the industry's most influential players—cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain innovators, Web3 pioneers, and digital asset funds—offering tailored audit, tax, and advisory services that keep pace with this fast-evolving landscape.


The Opportunity

We’re seeking a bright and ambitious graduate to join as a Graduate Trainee. This is a unique opportunity to build a career that bridges the traditional world of accounting with the cutting-edge field of digital assets. You'll be supported through a training contract to obtain the ICAEW ACA qualification, while gaining hands-on experience across audit, financial reporting, and cryptocurrency accounting.


What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work closely with experienced professionals and exciting clients, gaining exposure to both core accountancy work and emerging challenges in digital finance. Key areas of responsibility include:

  • Assisting in audits for blockchain and digital asset clients, from planning through to completion.
  • Preparing financial statements in accordance with UK GAAP and IFRS, with a focus on digital asset accounting.
  • Navigating the complexities of crypto transactions, including fair value measurement, proof-of-reserves, and evolving regulations.
  • Supporting tax calculations and compliance, particularly around crypto asset taxation.
  • Building relationships with clients, gaining insight into how blockchain businesses operate.
  • Advancing through the ACA qualification with comprehensive support, training, and mentorship.


Why Join?

·                 Dress for your diary.

·                 Flexible working hours.

·                 Minimum 25 days annual leave.

·                 A technology enabled firm.

·                 A Family environment, fantastic retention, hiring due to exceptional growth and internal promotions.

·                 A Fixed profit-sharing bonus scheme payable to all staff.

·                 Brand new central London office.

·                 Plenty of socialising opportunities.

·                 Free breakfast and fresh fruit provided daily.

·                 Gain unique experience in a high-growth sector few firms understand deeply

·                 Work with leading experts and exciting clients in the digital assets space

·                 Unlimited growth potential

New Blockchain Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving Web3 Careers

The blockchain and Web3 job market in the UK is evolving rapidly. After a period of volatility, the sector has entered a more mature phase—defined by institutional investment, real-world use cases, and infrastructure-led growth. For candidates exploring opportunities on BlockchainJobs.uk, the key shift is clear: the most exciting employers are no longer speculative crypto startups, but well-funded companies building the future of finance, payments, and digital assets. In this article, we explore the new blockchain employers to watch in 2026, focusing on companies that have recently raised funding, secured major contracts, or expanded into the UK market.

How Many Blockchain Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Blockchain Job?

If you are navigating the blockchain job market, it can feel like you need to master an entire tech stack before you’re even ready to apply. One job advert mentions Solidity, another talks about Hyperledger Fabric, another lists MetaMask, Hardhat, Git, Truffle, and Web3.js — and that’s before you scroll past three LinkedIn posts about “top blockchain skills for 2026.” It’s no wonder job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth that many hiring managers quietly agree on: 👉 You don’t need to know every blockchain tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones for the role you’re targeting — and how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but context and capability matter more. This guide breaks down exactly how many blockchain tools you need to learn, which ones matter for specific roles, and how to position what you know so hiring managers take notice.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Blockchain Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in blockchain tech do not start by reading every line of your CV. They scan for credibility, clarity and relevance, and they make an early judgement about whether you can solve real problems in a cutting-edge, evolving landscape. In blockchain and distributed ledger roles—whether in core protocol teams, smart contract development, Web3 infrastructure, compliance/security, or product-focused positions—the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK blockchain jobs look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why strong candidates sometimes get overlooked.
