Controller

About the Role We're a well-funded, Series A/B SportsTech startup operating a peer-to-peer sports prediction market — a disruptive alternative to traditional sportsbooks that eliminates the bookmaker's commission and lets users wager directly against one another. As we scale, we're looking for an experienced Controller to own the accounting function end-to-end across multiple entities. You'll design reconciliation frameworks, automate transaction tracking, lead the close process, and partner cross-functionally with finance, legal, and engineering to ensure we're financially sound and regulatory-ready. This is a high-impact, highly visible role at a fast-growing company where your work will directly support executive leadership and investors. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. What You'll Do Oversee and execute day-to-day bookkeeping, financial reporting, and GAAP-compliant accounting across multiple entities. Reconcile complex money flows involving user wallets, payment processors, trading accounts, and operating funds. Design and maintain robust reconciliation frameworks. Design and implement automated systems for transaction tracking and reconciliation. Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, reporting results to executive leadership and investors. Develop, document, and enforce accounting policies, internal controls, and operational procedures. Ensure compliance with financial regulations, tax obligations, and payment network standards. Coordinate audits and external reviews, providing detailed documentation and reconciliations. Monitor cash flow, reserves, and liquidity; optimize working capital. Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Engineering, Finance, and Operations teams. What We're Looking For Required Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA or equivalent certification strongly preferred). 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including GAAP, in a multi-entity environment.
