Our Client, an Entertainment/Streaming Service company, is looking for a Senior Content Accountant for their Los Angeles, CA location.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Based in our Hollywood office, reporting to the management team in Content Accounting.
  • Part of the team responsible for the financial integrity of the company's content commitments, assets (capitalization), liabilities (payments), and expenses (amortization).
  • Prepare and review monthly accounting entries, reconciliations, CFO metrics, and other ad hoc analyses.
  • Management and accounting (in proprietary systems) of content license contracts and understanding the full cost of each produced show, with a focus on ensuring appropriate accounting by researching guidance.
  • Analyze content agreements and transactions (e.g. licensing contracts, talent deals, etc.), to interpret contractual terms and understand the application of our accounting policies.
  • Identify and drive process improvements and own projects such as accounting policy review.
  • Manage cross-functional relationships with teams outside of Content Accounting, including those across finance and content acquisition organizations.
  • As Client continues its content expansion, the accounting and operational complexities are also growing.
  • There are new challenges we're facing, and there's plenty of fun we're having.
  • Come be a part of it and help make a positive impact!
 
Requirements:
  • Fundamentals of Accounting - we'd like you to have 5+ years of experience under your belt backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting and/or finance.
  • While not required, it’s preferred you are on track for completion (or already completed) in obtaining a CPA license or a post-graduate degree.
  • Attention to detail + love for data - We pride ourselves on producing high-quality work, scrutinizing important numbers and formulas for accuracy, and using spreadsheets and system data to reconcile accounts and solve problems and questions; we like our accountants to love Excel pivot tables and be unphased by large data sets.
  • Enthusiasm and quick learning - Enthusiasm for designing and building new accounting systems and making improvements to existing systems.
  • Prior work with contract review (revenue, leases, or other complex documents), data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful, but we understand you probably have never done content accounting.
  • That’s OK with us because we’ll teach you as long as you’re excited about learning.
  • Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, make changes to improve processes, and have fun while doing it all; a positive attitude and never settling for “good enough” is key, along with adding to our unique company culture.
  • You have strong communication skills (both written and oral) and are viewed as a strong cross-functional business partner.
  • You should also have a strong accounting background and be comfortable navigating technical accounting guidance.
  • Collaborate inclusively - Partner with team members and authentically recognize, understand, and appreciate differences, and connect across these differences by being mutually adaptive.
  • Adaptable - You have to be comfortable in an ever-changing ecosystem of content, finance, and accounting issues and projects.
  • You embrace and advocate the Client culture and our long-term view.
