Accountant

Center Court Pickleball is looking for a detail-driven Accountant to join our finance team. This is the backfill of an existing, well-established position on our team, so you'll step into a role with clear processes already in place — and room to make it your own.

PURPOSE — Why This Role Exists

Every rally, league night, and open play session at Center Court Pickleball depends on sound financials behind the scenes. This role exists to give our leadership team a clear, accurate, ongoing picture of the business — so we can maintain our facilities, plan ahead with confidence, and keep the experience great for players. As our Accountant, your work directly protects the day-to-day financial health of the company.

PRODUCT — What You'll Do

As our Accountant, you'll own the day-to-day accounting operations across Center Court Pickleball's locations. Core outputs of this role include:

• Audit-ready internal controls and compliance documentation

PROCESS — How You'll Work

You'll work primarily in QuickBooks Online and Bill.com, with Syft supporting financial reporting and analysis, inside a monthly close cadence built for a multi-location business.

• Run a structured month-end close cycle: close the books, reconcile accounts, and report out on a set schedule

• Route and process vendor payments through Bill.com, keeping AP current and organized

• Pull and refresh reporting and dashboards in QuickBooks Online and Syft on a regular rhythm

• Partner cross-functionally with Facilities and Procurement to code invoices and POs as they come in

• Collaborate with HR/Payroll on payroll journal entries and benefits reconciliations each pay cycle

• Flag issues early and escalate through a clear internal controls and audit process

PERFORMANCE — What Success Looks Like

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

• 2+ years of accounting experience; multi-location, hospitality, or recreation industry experience a plus

• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online required; familiarity with Bill.com and Syft strongly preferred

• Solid understanding of month-end close processes and core GAAP fundamentals

• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with data across multiple systems

• High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage competing deadlines

• A clear communicator who can explain financial information to non-finance teammates

What good looks like

• Month-end close finishes on time, with reconciliations clean and accruals accurate

• AP and AR stay current, with no vendor or aging surprises

• Leadership trusts the numbers in every report you hand them

• Facilities and Procurement matters are processed with accurate coding on invoices and PO submittals

PEOPLE — Who You'll Work With & What You'll Gain

You'll report to the VP of Finance and HR and will work closely with teammates across all departments as well as location-level staff who keep our courts running every day. We're a team that values honesty, ownership, and helping each other win — on the books and on the court.
