Teamworks is the leading operating system for elite sports, trusted by more than 7,000 organizations worldwide.
The Role
The Controller will oversee the accounting process, manage M&A activity, ensure compliance, strengthen internal controls, and develop the accounting team.
Summary Generated by Built In

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 ForWhat 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.
