• Follow established internal procedures while proactively communicating discrepancies or issues to management

Requirements

• Accounting or Finance degree required
• 3+ years of relevant accounting or full-charge bookkeeping experience
• Hands-on experience preparing U.S. tax returns — this is a hard requirement. Candidates without direct tax preparation experience will not be considered
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP
• Hands-on experience with: bank reconciliations, AP, AR, payroll, and financial statement preparation
• Strong QuickBooks proficiency (daily operational use)
• Ability to work independently with limited supervision

Ideal Candidate

You already handle full-charge bookkeeping independently and have prepared U.S. tax returns — you don't need to be trained on either. You're sharp, accurate, and proactive about flagging issues before they escalate. You take ownership of your work and are comfortable operating in a fast-paced professional services environment serving entertainment industry clients.
