ABOUT TOPGOLF

Topgolf is a sports entertainment company that has changed how millions of people experience golf, and a genuinely energizing place to build a career. Every year, guests visit our venues for an experience that’s hard to find anywhere else: hitting golf balls toward a target-lined outfield, tracking every shot in real time, enjoying great food and drinks, and connecting with friends, family, and coworkers.

This is a role for a hands-on leader who wants ownership of a function, not just oversight of one: someone who can take a clear technical position, modernize a reporting process, and continue to develop an already strong team. Just as important: someone who wants our financials to give the CFO and business leaders real insight into what’s driving performance, so they can make faster, better decisions.

This role owns the accuracy and integrity of Topgolf’s financial reporting, serves as the company’s primary technical accounting resource, and helps modernize the systems and processes behind our numbers. It reports directly to the CFO and works closely with the Controller, FP&A, Tax, Treasury, Legal, IT, Internal Audit, external auditors, and our private equity sponsor.

• Own the general ledger, chart of accounts, and cost/profit center structure, ensuring they are designed and maintained to support accurate, consistent, and scalable financial reporting across the organization.
• Prepare reporting packages for the CFO, Board, PE sponsor, lenders, and other stakeholders; ensure alignment with FP&A on forecasts, KPIs, and management reporting; respond to ad hoc reporting requests as they arise.
• Deliver financial reporting that goes beyond GAAP compliance by explaining the business drivers behind the numbers so the CFO and operating leaders have what they need to make informed decisions.

• Lead the assessment and implementation of new accounting standards.

Financial Systems & Process Transformation

• Lead the financial reporting and technical accounting components of the annual external audits; own timely resolution of audit questions.

Leadership

• Lead, coach, and continue to develop an already strong financial reporting and technical accounting team.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; active CPA license required.

• Deep U.S. GAAP and technical accounting research experience in a large, complex, multi-entity organization.
• Private-equity-backed experience; multi-location, hospitality, entertainment, restaurant, or retail background is a plus.
