Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting
Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting
About the Role
PrizePicks is seeking a Corporate Accounting leader to help us scale the accounting operation behind one of the fastest-growing companies in daily fantasy sports.
In this role, you’ll own the day-to-day mechanics of an accurate, on-time close, while overseeing our procure-to-pay process and T&E accounting. You’ll partner directly with the Director, Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting and the Accounting Systems and Internal Controls Senior Manager to drive process and systems optimization. This is a hands-on, highly visible role for someone who wants to scale the function, not just maintain it.
What You’ll Do
Close & Financial Reporting
Own the operational close calendar and quality across multiple cycles — sub-ledger close, journal entries, and balance sheet reconciliations — reviewing the team’s work and coaching on chart-of-account and cost-center discipline
Manage the dependencies between sub-ledger close, GL close, and the handoff to Financial Reporting, delivering a clean trial balance by the agreed date
Own applied GAAP across the transactional cycles (procure-to-pay, payroll, fixed assets, prepaids, intercompany), making the call on policy application and partnering with Technical Accounting on anything requiring judgment
Review and analyze US GAAP financial statements to ensure accuracy, comparability, consistency, and completeness
Assist with drafting of footnotes for annual audited financial statements
Procure-to-Pay & Travel and Expense
Supervise the procure-to-pay function: ensuring purchasing workflows operate smoothly, all purchases are backed by purchase orders, invoices are properly coded, approved timely, posted, and reconciled from the aging to the general ledger
Supervise, mentor, and grow our AP Lead and Staff Accountant — delegating high-visibility work to the team’s subject matter experts and accelerating high-potential teammates
Raise the bar for turnaround, accuracy, and vendor experience across the payables cycle, and measure it — invoice cycle time, reconciliation aging, and error rates
Controls & Compliance
Own process-level controls across the transactional cycles, ensuring they are executed on time and evidenced well enough to hold up to testing
Make the design calls on control trade-offs at the cycle level — automated versus preventive versus detective — and redesign controls when processes or systems change
Own the auditor relationship on transactional controls in your scope, and drive remediation of any deficiencies through to closure
Process & Systems Optimization
Own ERP and sub-ledger optimization across the transactional cycles: set the one-to-two year operational accounting systems roadmap, make the prioritization calls across improvement initiatives, and partner with IT and Engineering on delivery
Champion the use of AI in order to implement agentic workflows into the accounting cycles, freeing up time for deep analytical work that drives business insights
Document key accounting processes so they are standardized, measurable, and scalable for growth
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Own the day-to-day FP&A relationship on close timing, accruals, and allocations, and oversee operational accounting partnerships across the wider business
Proactively share information to prevent surprises, and drive consensus across teams when accounting requirements and business priorities compete
Work professionally with external auditors and tax advisors as needed, and take on ad-hoc projects as priorities shift
What You’ll Bring
7+ years of accounting experience, with 3 years’ experience in high growth technology and/or public accounting with high growth technology clients
Experience managing and developing others — coaching a team through pressure, delegating complex work to subject matter experts, and accelerating high-potential teammates
Hands-on ownership of the close cycle across multiple workstreams: journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and US GAAP financial statement preparation
Working knowledge of process-level internal controls — able to design a control when a process changes and stand behind it with external auditors
Track record of ERP and sub-ledger process improvement, ideally including automating a manual accounting workflow end-to-end
Self-starting critical thinker who thrives in environments of accountability
Composure across competing priorities — holds quality and timeline through system changes, volume growth, and shifting priorities
Excellent communication skills — shares information proactively to prevent surprises and distills complexity for non-finance users
CPA preferred; Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required
Intermediate Excel skills; NetSuite experience preferred, but not required
