The Controllership team is seeking a sharp, self‑directed Senior Accountant to join us on a temporary basis during a pivotal period of transformation. This hands‑on role is built for someone who lives in the details; a strong analytical thinker who is exceptional at preparing and booking journal entries, comfortable investigating and resolving discrepancies, and motivated to take initiative rather than wait for direction.

You will partner with Controllership and FP&A colleagues across divisions, and your work will directly support the accuracy and integrity of our consolidated financial statements.

  • Prepare and post entries for periodic participation statements across a range of titles.
  • Prepare and upload Studio and Kapital entries in Oracle.
• Reconciliations & Analysis
  • Perform detailed account reconciliations, proactively identifying, researching, and resolving variances.
• Cash Receipts & Accounts Receivable
  • Support cash receipts and AR functions—manage the inflow of customer cash, identify and apply payments in TREC against open invoices, generate AR aging reports, and confirm that cash receipts are booked correctly to the proper GL account.
• Close Support & Reporting
  • Assist the Studio team in preparing the quarterly Critical Review deliverable for Internal Audit by organizing folders and journals and completing select tasks.
  • Help prepare the Divisional Month‑End Close Calendar.
  • Distribute daily P&L / balance sheet reports to the Studios Controllership and FP&A teams.
  • Review the list of shows forecasted and scheduled to deliver each month, follow up with the post‑production team to confirm deliveries, verify accuracy of each memo, and file memos to the correct shared‑drive folder for the month they delivered.

• Journal entry expertise – Demonstrated mastery of preparing, reviewing, and posting accurate journal entries with correct account coding; comfortable handling high volumes during close without sacrificing precision.
• Strong analytical skills – A natural problem‑solver who digs into numbers, investigates discrepancies, reconciles complex balances, and spots anomalies before they become issues.
• Initiative and ownership – A self‑starter who anticipates what the team needs, takes the lead on time‑intensive tasks, and follows through with minimal supervision.
• Technical accounting foundation – Solid understanding of GAAP, the month‑end and quarter‑end close process, and general ledger fundamentals.
• Systems and tools – Proficiency with Oracle Fusion (or a comparable ERP) and advanced Excel; ability to learn new systems quickly.
• Detail and organization – Highly organized, deadline‑driven, and meticulous about accuracy and documentation.
• Collaboration – Clear communicator who works effectively with cross‑functional partners across divisions.

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA or progress toward it is a plus.
• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including hands‑on month‑end close ownership.
• Experience with journal entries.
• Experience with reconciliations.
• Advanced Excel knowledge.

• Media, entertainment, or studio industry experience, and familiarity with participation accounting or revenue recognition.
• Oracle Fusion experience is nice to have.
