Stop treating crypto finance like a "black box" and start managing it with the rigor of a Big 4 auditor.

Most finance professionals enter Web3 and immediately face a chaotic reality: fragmented liquidity, sub-ledger sync errors, and the nightmare of accounting for Token Generation Events (TGE). This isn't just "accounting with coins"—this is a fundamentally new financial operating system.

This masterclass is your "in-the-trenches" guide to navigating the complexities of Web3 operations. Led by an expert who transitioned from traditional finance and Big 4 audit to leading operations for Everclear (the first clearing layer for the modular sea), this course skips the fluff and dives straight into the hard technical and operational challenges of the industry.

What makes this course unique? We don't just talk theory. We walk through a real-world migration from Bitwave to Integral, we analyze the revenue models of cross-chain protocols, and we even show you how to build your own financial dashboards using AI-assisted "Vibe Coding"—no developer degree required.

What We Will Cover:

Protocol Fundamentals: Understanding cross-chain clearing, intents, and solvers.
The Crypto Accounting Stack: Building sub-ledgers, managing wallet segregation, and designing a Web3-native Chart of Accounts.
Token Lifecycle Management: Navigating TGEs, fair-value gains/losses, and the legal/operational risks of token migrations.
Treasury & FinOps: Managing grants with Toku and Sablier, cost optimization, and extending your runway during market volatility.
The Modern Toolstack: Real-world use cases for Rain, Dakota, Request Finance, and more.
AI for Finance: Using AI to bridge the gap between Etherscan data and beautiful, actionable dashboards.

If you’re tired of "figuring it out as you go" and want to implement a professional-grade finance function in Web3, this masterclass is for you.
