About the role
We’re a US-based live events and audio-visual production company with a lean, high-performance operations structure. We’re looking for an Accounting Manager who truly owns the books — someone who brings the accounting judgment, discipline, and independence that keeps our finances clean and decision-ready at all times.
You’ll report directly to our Senior Director of Operations and serve as the accounting authority for the business. Our HR & Finance Coordinator — who handles day-to-day HR and basic bookkeeping tasks and also reports to the Senior Director of Operations — will collaborate with you on accounting and finance-related tasks. While you are not their manager, you are the standard-setter: you define how transactions are recorded, and you’re empowered to correct and redirect when something isn’t right.
This is a full-time, ongoing remote contract role. We welcome international applicants with strong US GAAP knowledge and experience supporting US-based businesses. Availability during US Eastern Time business hours is required.
This is equal parts execution and ownership. You’ll grind through the close, reconcile the details, and keep the books clean — and you’ll also be the one who spots when something doesn’t look right, figures out why, fixes it, and brings a clean summary to leadership. You won’t wait to be asked. You’ll see the problem, solve it, and present it.
Our accounting function is intentionally lean. There’s no accounting team to hide in — just you, a coordinator who handles the basics, and leadership that trusts you to run the function. If you thrive with autonomy and take pride in clean books, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll own
- Full ownership of the day-to-day under US GAAP — accurate, complete, and audit-ready
- Monthly close process, completed on schedule without senior intervention
- Revenue recognition for production contracts, show settlements, and non-standard deal structures
- Job costing accuracy across events, productions, and service engagements
- Intercompany transactions and complex or one-off deal execution
- Set the standard for how transactions are recorded and ensure the HR & Finance Coordinator executes consistently against it
- Identify financial discrepancies, process gaps, or anomalies — then fix them independently and present findings and resolution to leadership
What success looks like
- Leadership can make decisions off clean, trustworthy numbers — every time
- Close happens on time, every month, without a scramble or escalation
- When something is off, leadership hears about it after it’s already been investigated and resolved — not as an open question
- The HR & Finance Coordinator knows exactly how to book transactions because you’ve set the standard
- Job costs on every show and production are accurate and reconciled
- If you were away for 30 days, the books would still close correctly
What we’re looking for
- 4+ years of accounting experience, ideally supporting a project- or event-based business
- Strong, working knowledge of US GAAP — you know the rules and can explain the “why” behind them
- QuickBooks Online proficiency (advanced preferred)
- Hands-on experience with job costing and revenue recognition for contract or production-based work
- Comfortable working independently and making accounting judgment calls without hand-holding
- Collaborative communicator — able to guide and support a coordinator without creating bottlenecks
- CPA or CPA candidate a strong plus — not required if experience speaks for itself
- Fluent in English — written and verbal communication with US-based leadership required
- Available during US Eastern Time business hours (full overlap preferred)
Bonus points
- Direct experience in live events, AV production, touring, or entertainment finance
- Familiarity with show budgets, vendor settlements, and production cost structures
- Experience supporting a US-based operations or executive team remotely
- Exposure to multi-entity or intercompany accounting structures
