Teamworks is a late-stage, high-growth sports technology company serving professional leagues, collegiate athletic departments, Olympic programs, and military organizations worldwide. We're scaling fast, navigating M&A activity, and building toward significant financial milestones. The accounting function needs to keep pace — and that means bringing in a Controller who can own it.
The Role
Own the monthly close process end-to-end — identify opportunities to make it faster and more accurate, then execute on them
Lead all accounting workstreams through M&A activity, including purchase accounting (ASC 805), opening balance sheets, and financial integration — this is active, recurring work across multiple deals, not a one-time event
Manage multi-entity consolidations, multi-currency accounting, and international statutory compliance across a footprint that continues to grow through acquisition
Build and strengthen internal controls, systems, and processes that scale with the company's growth — and position us well for future audit and financing events
Drive cross-functional partnership with FP&A, RevOps, Legal, and functional leadership — translating complex accounting topics into clear financial insights that inform real decisions
Develop and grow the accounting team, building toward the scale and structure the business needs
What I'm Looking For
What You Must Bring
Active CPA license
6–10 years of progressive accounting experience, including meaningful time in public accounting — Big 4 or large regional firm strongly preferred
Prior experience as a Controller or Assistant Controller, preferably at a SaaS company
Hands-on M&A experience, specifically purchase accounting (ASC 805)
Strong technical accounting knowledge across ASC 606, ASC 718, ASC 350, multi-entity consolidations, and international accounting
Experience building or materially improving internal controls in a scaling company
Experience leading an external audit process — you've owned the relationship with auditors and managed the process end-to-end
People management experience — you've led or mentored an accounting team
ERP proficiency, Intacct experience strongly preferred
Even Better If
You've been through a financing event — Series D+, a debt raise, or IPO readiness — and know what it takes to get a company prepared
You’ve worked directly with lenders or investors on reporting requirements and covenant compliance
You have experience integrating financial systems and collaborating closely with FP&A on planning and reporting
You’ve managed international statutory compliance across multiple jurisdictions
Why This Role
Most Controller roles ask you to maintain the books. This one asks you to build something. With ongoing M&A activity, an external audit to lead, international expansion in the picture, and a cross-functional leadership team that genuinely wants a seat at the table for Finance — the scope here is real and it grows with you. This is a rare chance to shape how a finance function is built from the inside.
This role is not eligible for sponsorship at this time.
