THE WORK:
As a Senior Derivative Accountant on the Ripple Treasury Managed Services team, you serve as the subject matter expert on derivative instruments and hedging relationships across a portfolio of clients. You own the full technical accounting lifecycle under both ASC 815 and IFRS 9: documentation, effectiveness testing, journal entries, and disclosures.
This is a hands-on role for a technical specialist who thrives with complexity, takes ownership of client engagements end-to-end, and communicates clearly with treasury and finance stakeholders at every level.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Own end-to-end derivative accounting for interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, FX forwards, options, and commodity derivatives across multiple client portfolios.
- Prepare and review hedge documentation — designation memos, risk management objectives, and formal effectiveness testing under ASC 815 and IFRS 9.
- Execute quantitative and qualitative effectiveness assessments (regression analysis, dollar-offset, hypothetical derivative method) on both a prospective and retrospective basis.
- Prepare journal entries and financial statement disclosures related to hedging activities and answer client inquiries about our deliverables.
- Apply critical judgment on hedge accounting elections — fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and de-designation scenarios.
- Advise clients on structuring new hedging relationships to achieve qualification and optimize effectiveness.
- Translate new FASB and IASB guidance into clear, actionable impact summaries for clients and internal teams.
- Lead audit support — preparation of work product and direct engagement with external auditors on derivative and hedge accounting matters.
- Mentor junior team members and strengthen internal methodologies, templates, and technical guidance.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- CPA required; advanced degree in Accounting or Finance a plus.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with derivative instruments and hedge accounting — in public accounting, industry, or consulting environment.
- Deep technical fluency in ASC 815 and IFRS 9, including practical hedge accounting elections and disclosure requirements.
- Comfortable managing multiple client engagements simultaneously — precise, organized, and able to meet tight deadlines.
- Strong communicator: you make complex accounting conclusions accessible to non-technical audiences.
- Experience with hedge accounting platforms (Ripple Treasury, Chatham Financial, Reval, FIS Quantum, or similar) preferred.

Which finance companies sponsor visas in California?
Major sponsors include Wells Fargo and Charles Schwab (both headquartered in San Francisco), along with Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic Bank, and fintech companies like Square and Stripe. Investment firms such as BlackRock, Vanguard's West Coast operations, and numerous private equity firms in Los Angeles also actively sponsor foreign talent for analyst, associate, and specialist roles.
What visa types are most common for finance jobs in California?
H-1B visas dominate for entry-level analysts and associates, while L-1 visas are common for intracompany transfers from international banking operations. O-1 visas are used for senior investment professionals and fintech specialists with extraordinary ability. TN visas work for Canadian and Mexican citizens in qualifying financial analyst roles at major institutions.
Which California cities have the most finance visa sponsorship jobs?
San Francisco leads with the highest concentration, housing major bank headquarters and fintech companies. Los Angeles follows with investment management firms and entertainment finance roles. San Jose offers fintech opportunities, while Irvine and Orange County feature regional banking centers. Sacramento provides government finance and regulatory positions with sponsorship potential.
How to find finance visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Use Migrate Mate to browse verified sponsorship opportunities with detailed visa information for each role. Focus your applications on companies with proven H-1B filing history, particularly those with California operations. Target roles explicitly mentioning visa sponsorship availability and consider both traditional banking and emerging fintech sectors for the broadest opportunities.
Are there special considerations for finance visa sponsorship in California?
California's high prevailing wages work in your favor for H-1B applications, as most finance roles easily meet salary requirements. The state's strong university pipeline from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and USC creates additional OPT and F-1 to H-1B pathways. Consider timing applications around bonus cycles and be prepared for comprehensive background checks required in financial services.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored finance jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
