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.

About the role and why it’s unique:

  • Process accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions in a timely and accurate manner
  • Reconcile bank statements and company accounts
  • Prepare and enter journal entries
  • Assist with month-end and year-end closing processes
  • Support internal and external audits by providing required documentation
  • Review expense reports and ensure compliance with company policies
  • Communicate cross-functionally and with external vendors as needed

Who you are:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
  • 1+ year of relevant accounting experience, CPA candidate required
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and accounting software
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple priorities

  • Willingness to learn and grow within the accounting field

Even better if you have:

  • An interest in the fantasy/sportsbetting industry
  • Experience with the procurement process (three-way matching)
  • Interest or exposure to regulatory requirements


Our target starting base salary range for this position is between $77,000 and $85,000, plus target equity. The starting base salary will depend on a number of factors including the candidate’s skills and experience, among other things.

What we can offer you:

  • Unlimited PTO (we're extremely flexible with the exception of the first few weeks before & into the NFL season)
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • A $500 home office allowance
  • A connected virtual first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce
  • 5% 401k match, FSA, company paid health, dental, vision plan options for employees and dependents
