Finance Manager, Sports
New York, NY — five days a week in office
$125,000–$135,000 base plus discretionary bonus

We're partnering with an entertainment and sports management company on a search for a Finance Manager to own the P&L and day-to-day finance operations of its sports representation business.

This is a hands-on role at the center of the finance function for a fast-growing sports division. You'll work closely with agents, consultants, and leadership to run billing, AR, revenue recognition, and reporting for the division end to end. .

What you'll be doing

• Own month-end close, accruals, and reconciliations across the sports business
• Maintain deferred revenue schedules and ensure revenue recognition lines up with contract terms
• Manage commission and bonus reconciliations, and P&L reporting cut by sport, client, and deal type
• Run end-to-end invoicing for a large client roster on a twice-yearly cycle, including distribution and collections follow-up
• Maintain clean AR records and coordinate directly with financial advisors and consultants on remittances, disputes, and tax documentation
• Prepare weekly cash flow schedules and support rolling forecasts
• Enter and maintain athlete contracts and deal terms in Airtable or a similar system
• Support union reporting and compliance documentation
• Partner with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance
• 5–8 years of progressive accounting or finance experience, with strong command of AR, accrual accounting, and month-end close
• Real AR and billing volume behind you. This is a high-volume invoicing and collections book, not a light one
• A natural chaser. This is an agency business, and information doesn't arrive on time or in usable form without someone going after it
• Advanced Excel required; Oracle or a similar ERP required; Airtable or an equivalent workflow platform strongly preferred
• Background in a sports agency, talent or artist management, music, entertainment, or another high-volume billing agency is a strong plus. Familiarity with commission structures, NIL, or brand deals is a genuine edge
• Able to walk through revenue recognition end to end from a contract you've personally owned, from signing through invoice timing, deferred revenue, and P&L impact
