Staff Accountant​/Junior Financial Analyst

FTL UTD Holdings is hiring a Staff Accountant / Junior Financial Analyst to support shared-expense allocations, intercompany bill-backs, budgets and financial reporting across its entities.

FTL UTD Holdings is the multi-entity sports organization behind Fort Lauderdale United FC, including its women’s professional team, men’s team launch and youth platform. As the organization grows, costs such as staff, facilities, travel and overhead are shared across entities and must be allocated, billed back and reported accurately.

This role keeps the numbers organized and turns them into clear spreadsheets and reports that leadership can act on. It works under the guidance of the organization’s outside CPA, who sets allocation rules and oversees year-end and tax work. It is a strong entry point for a finance graduate who wants to grow with a professional sports organization.

• Apply the organization’s allocation methods to shared costs (payroll, facilities, travel, insurance, overhead) across all entities.
• Prepare monthly intercompany bill-backs and invoices, and reconcile intercompany balances so each entity’s books tie out.
• Keep allocation records and support organized so they are consistent and easy to audit.

• Help build annual budgets for each entity and a consolidated view for FTL UTD Holdings.
• Track actuals against budget monthly and explain significant variances.
• Help update forecasts and model scenarios such as new team launches, sponsorship deals or facility projects.

• Produce monthly financial statements and management reports by entity and consolidated.
• Turn data into clean, readable spreadsheets, dashboards and one-page summaries for leadership, investors and partners.
• Analyze revenue streams (ticketing, sponsorship, youth programs, merchandise) and cost drivers to support decisions.

• Support month-end close, account reconciliations and journal entries.
• Maintain clean books in the accounting system and support the outside CPA on tax and year-end work.
• Improve processes, templates and controls as the organization scales.

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance or a related field; recent graduates welcome.
• 0–2 years of experience in accounting or financial analysis, including internships.
• Solid grasp of accounting fundamentals: journal entries, reconciliations and financial statements.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to explain numbers clearly to non-finance people.
• Eagerness to learn multi-entity accounting, cost allocations and budgeting.

• Progress toward a CPA, or interest in pursuing one.
• Internship or coursework in budgeting, cost accounting or intercompany work.
• Interest in sports, entertainment or event-driven organizations.
• Familiarity with Quick Books Online or similar accounting software.

• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills: pivot tables, lookups and clean formatting.
• Accounting software such as Quick Books Online, Xero or Net Suite, including multi-entity setups.
• Report and presentation building that makes financial data easy to read at a glance.
• Strong organization and the ability to manage multiple entities and deadlines at once.
• Clear written and verbal communication with leadership, coaches, staff and outside partners.
