NOCAP Sports is the commercial operating partner embedded inside 60+ university athletic departments like Florida State, South Carolina, Pittsburgh and SMU. We generate recurring revenue for schools by connecting them with enterprise brand partners like Hertz, Walmart, Dr Pepper, Shell, and more, alongside alumni business networks, athlete marketing programs, and university procurement. Our position inside the athletic department is what makes us different, and it is the foundation every dollar that moves through this business is built on.

Team Overview

The Finance team is responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and clarity of every number that runs through NOCAP. The team owns the full accounting cycle, from day-to-day transactions and reconciliations through the monthly close, financial reporting, and the operating data that leadership uses to make decisions. As NOCAP scales across new revenue lanes and new university partners, the finance function is what keeps the business legible and investor ready.

Working closely with our fractional CFO and cross-functionally with BizOps, RevOps, and Operations, the team turns a complex, multi-channel revenue model into clean books and reliable reporting. Success is driven by accuracy, timeliness, strong financial controls, and the ability to build the accounting foundation that supports NOCAP through its next stage of growth.

Role Overview

As NOCAP continues scaling its revenue across university procurement, enterprise partnerships, and athlete programs, we are adding a Senior Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting function and run the monthly close. This role handles the nitty-gritty execution that keeps the business accurate and audit ready, working directly with our fractional CFO who focuses on strategy, forecasting, and fundraising.

The ideal candidate is a detail-obsessed operator who can run a close largely on their own, handle complex revenue recognition across multiple channels, and bring order to a fast-moving environment without needing their hand held. This individual will serve as the day-to-day owner of the books, AP and AR, payroll coordination, and reporting, building the financial backbone that lets NOCAP grow with confidence.

College sports is going through the most significant commercial shift in its history, and the businesses built around it need financial operations that can keep pace. This role sits at the center of that, owning the accounting work that turns a fast-growing, multi-lane revenue model into clean, reliable, decision-ready numbers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the monthly close end to end, including journal entries, accruals, and account reconciliations, delivering accurate financials on a predictable timeline.
  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations across accounts payable, accounts receivable, expense management, and payroll coordination.
  • Calculate, reconcile, and process sales commissions and incentive payouts, ensuring accuracy against booked and collected revenue and coordinating payment through payroll.
  • Handle revenue recognition across NOCAP's multiple lanes, including enterprise partnerships, university procurement, and athlete programs.
  • Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and consistently as the business scales.
  • Partner with the fractional CFO to produce monthly financial statements, reporting packages, and the clean inputs needed for forecasting and board materials.
  • Build and document financial controls, processes, and best practices to support a growing and increasingly complex business.
  • Support cash management, including tracking inflows and outflows across revenue channels and flagging issues proactively.
  • Assist with audit readiness, tax preparation coordination, and compliance requirements as the company matures.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally with ownership of a monthly close at a startup or high-growth company.
  • Strong technical accounting foundation with a deep command of GAAP and revenue recognition.
  • Experience handling complex or multi-channel revenue and comfort building structure where it does not yet exist
  • Preference for experience in complex accounting practices such as: multi-node royalty and residual payments, accrued and formulaic commission structures, and granular sequencing of payables and receivables
  • Proficient with accounting software such as QuickBooks Online or NetSuite, and advanced in Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Proficient with AI tools and an active adopter of new technology to drive efficiency across close, reconciliation, and reporting workflows.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented with a track record of accurate, on-time delivery.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with a builder's mindset.
  • Strong communicator who can work directly with a fractional CFO and cross-functional teams.
  • CPA or CPA candidate strongly preferred.
  • Experience with a multi-entity structure
  • Familiarity with the college sports landscape is a plus.

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, success means owning a clean, reliable monthly close that lands on time every period, with reporting our fractional CFO and leadership can trust without rework. You will bring structure to the accounting function, tighten financial controls, and create the documented processes that let finance scale with the business. You will be measured on the accuracy and timeliness of the close, the integrity of the books, and the strength of the financial foundation you build as NOCAP prepares for its next stage of growth.
