· Partner with studio operations and business stakeholders to improve invoicing accuracy, collection timelines, and reporting visibility.

· Identify opportunities to automate processes and strengthen internal controls surrounding cash management and revenue operations.

· Assist with month-end close activities, account analyses, and audit support.

· Prepare schedules and documentation for internal and external auditors as needed.

· Support special projects and process improvement initiatives within the Finance organization.

Who You Are:

· Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or relevant experience

· 1-3+ years of accounting experience.

· Strong understanding of cash application, reconciliations, and general ledger accounting.

· Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large data sets.

What We Give You:

· You join an inclusive, collaborative, and global community where you have the opportunity to fuel the creative journey

· A modern office environment in downtown Nashville designed to foster productivity, creativity, and teamwork

· An attractive and comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life & disability coverage, and 401K + employer matching

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
