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
