Corporate Accounting Manager

Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) is a market leader in online casino and sports betting, currently operating real-money gaming with our brands: BetRivers.com, PlaySugarHouse.com, and RushBet.co. We’re building bridges between online, social and land-based gaming businesses to create amazing, integrated experiences that keep players in the game.

We are seeking a Senior Manager, Corporate Accounting to lead the day-to-day operations of our corporate accounting function. Reporting to the Senior Director, Corporate Accounting & Reporting, this role owns the monthly close process across all corporate sub-teams (e.g., GL, Accounts Payable, Treasury), partners closely with other Finance and Accounting functions (e.g., SEC Reporting, FP&A, Accounting Operations, International Finance), and supports special projects as needed. As RSI scales, this role strengthens the accounting function and builds the operational rigor that the next stage of the company requires.

We're looking for a leader with presence and credibility, someone who can walk into any room, across any reporting line, and move people toward a common goal. The ideal candidate combines a strong command of US GAAP with a proven track record of leading teams, staying hands-on, driving accountability, and building cross-functional momentum in environments where influence matters as much as positional authority.

We are seeking candidates based in the Chicagoland area, as this role requires occasional in-person collaboration at our Chicago office.

What You'll Do:

• Own the monthly close – drive timelines and deliver consolidated results across the Accounting and Finance function
• Coach and develop – lead through real-time coaching, mentoring, and feedback, building leaders and driving accountability, not just completing tasks.
• Anchor technical accounting decisions - serve as the first line of authority on US GAAP questions across the corporate accounting function.
• Assess risk and strengthen controls – apply ongoing risk assessment to the Corporate Accounting function, strengthening the control environment as the business scales.
• Drive cross-functional alignment - anticipate dependencies across teams and resolve issues before they become blockers, picking up special projects as needed.
• Team Leadership and Development – Manage other Corporate Accounting leaders, who oversee day to day General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Treasury accounting. As a manager of managers, set clear expectations, build leadership capability within the team, and foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and accountability.
• General Ledger Ownership – Own GL accounting across cash, prepaid and other assets, long-lived assets, investments, accounts payable, and accrued and long-term liabilities, including review of journal entries and reconciliations.
• Accounts Payable Oversight – Oversee the end-to-end procure-to-pay process, ensuring strong controls and accountability across vendor master maintenance, invoice approvals, payment execution, and GL recognition; partner cross-functionally on vendor sourcing, selection, and contracting.
• Treasury Support – Support cash management and oversight of manual cash payments, contribute to banking relationships, and lead short-term liquidity forecasting and working capital planning.
• Global Consolidation and Reporting – Partner with SEC Reporting to ensure the global consolidation is accurate, complete, and delivered ahead of each reporting deadline - including coordinating intercompany and multi-currency considerations and ensuring alignment between operating results and consolidated financial statements. (NetSuite familiarity a plus.)
• Process Improvement and Automation – Identify and lead opportunities to automate and improve processes across the Corporate Accounting function, including the use of AI tools.
• Cross-Functional Partnership – Partner with Latin America Finance to ensure global alignment of accounting processes and policies, and collaborate with leaders across accounting, finance, and the broader organization.

What You'll Bring:

• BA/BS/MS degree in Accounting or CPA required.
• Demonstrated leadership ability, the kind that moves people and drives accountability. Experience leading in structured, high-stakes environments is a meaningful differentiator.
• Proficiency in US GAAP with the ability to independently evaluate and guide accounting conclusions across a broad range of corporate accounting areas.
• Comfort leveraging AI and automation tools to improve close accuracy, reduce manual work, and scale team output.
• Familiarity with multi-currency accounting and intercompany transactions across global entities.
• Proven track record of managing and developing a team in an accounting or finance function.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to track multiple moving parts across teams and keep close processes on schedule.
• Ability to exercise influence without direct authority - credible and effective across teams regardless of reporting lines.
• Clear, direct communicator with the ability to set expectations, deliver feedback, and escalate appropriately.
• Experience with ERP systems; NetSuite experience a plus.
• Public company experience preferred.
• Able to travel occasionally both domestically and internationally #LI-REMOTE #LI-PROMOTE
