Positioned at the intersection of sports, technology, and community, we streamline the management of sports organizations throughout the country, from registrations and payments to communication. Beyond just software, we cultivate a community of leaders who share insights on key topics, such as increasing female participation in sports, preventing youth injuries, and understanding the impact of technology on the future of play.

Driven by our mission, we aim to create exceptional sports experiences for everyone. To support this endeavor, we established and continue to champion the FundPlay Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to enhancing sports-based youth development organizations. FundPlay facilitates significant sports opportunities for hundreds of thousands of underserved children and communities annually.

Role Mission: As the Director of Accounting at LeagueApps, you will lead a dedicated and high-performing team responsible for the Monthly Close, Annual Audits, Implementation of Complex Revenue Agreements, and overseeing Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable across the organization. Your team will be tasked with setting and implementing Accounting and Controllership Standards throughout the organization, alongside managing banking relationships and reporting.

You will take initiative and take ownership of Accounting and Controllership Standards. This role involves managing annual audit engagements in collaboration with the Audit team, including presenting audit results, while also spearheading Purchase Price Accounting (PPA) and providing strong expertise in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and acquisition accounting. The position will be responsible for complex revenue streams, such as Major League Soccer (MLS) reporting, modeling, and payout management, in addition to overseeing special pricing models, contractual agreements, and payout schedules. Key responsibilities include tax compliance and system implementation, monthly account reconciliation reviews, cash flow and liquidity management, and daily cash monitoring. The role requires deep expertise in Stripe payments, including reporting analytics, refund processes, and adherence to contractual audits, as well as the implementation of Volume, Price, and other financial models.
