À propos de ce poste Ld Accountant chez Topgolf
WHAT WE'RE SEEKING
The Lead Accountant owns a meaningful piece of that growth story from the accounting side: producing accurate, timely financial statements, including point-of-sale reconciliations, insurance accounting, and the accruals and journal entries that keep our books clean across a fast-moving, multi-unit business. This role reports to the Manager, General Accounting and works closely with the broader Accounting team, Systems, Risk, Technology, and the site and corporate leaders across the venues they support.
This is a strong fit for someone who wants real ownership early in their career — someone who can run a close process independently, build relationships with the teams and venues they support, and look for smarter ways to do the work, including using AI to create efficiencies.
