We’re Underdog.

The fastest-growing sports gaming company – ever.

We build innovative games, products, and experiences for American sports fans.

We’re here to shake up the fastest growing industry with bold ideas, custom-built tech, and the drive to win.

Founded in 2020, our team has built four of today’s most widely played fantasy games and launched the Underdog Sportsbook – built entirely in-house with our own technology. That means we control our product, move fast, and create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. 

In just over two years, we’ve reached over a $1.2 billion valuation, with investors like BlackRock, Spark Capital, SV Angel, Mark Cuban, Kevin Durant, and Adam Schefter. And we’re just getting started.

At Underdog, we believe that sports are for everyone. Join us.

The Senior Accounting Associate will primarily focus on expense-related accounting functions and own critical workflows including vendor payments, procurement review, contract validation, and month-end close responsibilities. This role works closely with teams across Marketing, Legal, and Compliance, so strong collaboration and communication skills are essential.

  • Prepare journal entries and ensure accurate departmental coding across Sage, Ramp, and Zip systems
  • Support broader finance initiatives, including budgeting, forecasting, and departmental reporting
  • Contribute to system and process enhancements related to multi-entity accounting and consolidations
  • Develop a working knowledge of tax reporting obligations such as 1099 filings, tax provisions, and income taxes
  • Collaborate with Legal and Compliance to identify and address any accounting-owned registration or filing requirements
Who you are:
  • CPA certification required
  • 4+ years of accounting experience, preferably with a big 4 background
  • Strong audit/assurance foundation
  • Experience in a technology or high-growth environment is a plus
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and thrive in a fast-moving, evolving company
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Even better if you have:
  • Experience using expense systems such as Zip or Ramp
  • Prior experience working with marketing partnership teams on affiliate spend
  • Familiarity with contract term analysis


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $95,000 and $115,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.
