At Fastbreak AI, we’re here to change how sports operations are managed. With the power of artificial intelligence, we deliver precision scheduling, seamless league and tournament management, group travel, and smarter sponsorship activation for professional, college, and amateur sports organizations. Our platforms support everything from the pro league office to the weekend youth tournament. As our footprint grows, so does the business behind it, and we need a finance leader who can help us scale it with the same precision we bring to the game.
We’re hiring a Controller to own accounting at Fastbreak AI and build the financial foundation we’ll scale on. In this role, you’ll run the month-end close, keep our books accurate and audit-ready, and put the controls, policies and processes in place that let us grow without losing visibility into the numbers.

- Design and implement scalable internal controls, including segregation of duties, approval matrices, and review procedures.

- Prepare journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and deferred revenue schedules, and perform balance sheet and bank reconciliations.
- Manage accounts payable and receivable, including vendor onboarding, bill pay, invoicing, and collections.
- Maintain the chart of accounts, fixed asset register, and payroll accounting.
- Administer Ramp, including card policies, approval workflows, and a clean, correctly coded sync to the general ledger.
