Your next company & team
They’re small (20 people), lean, and growing — and they need an accountant who’s ready to own the numbers, work closely with the CFO, and get hands-on with a multi-million-dollar loan book in film finance.
They are a private investment and finance business, operating across film & TV finance. Fun, casual style but a team of high performers who adapt quickly the rapid changes in this amazing industry.
The CFO is commercial, down-to-earth, and wants someone he can rely on. You’ll also work alongside their Bookkeeper.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where your work will touch everything — from reporting to treasury to international finance deals.
What You’ll Do
- Own month-end close, reconciliations, and core financial reporting
- Support and eventually lead financial modelling for new film loans
- Track complex loan flows and help manage the treasury function
- Assist with collections, repayment monitoring, and fund management
- Prepare borrower and investor reports
- Review loan documentation and extract key financial info
- Work closely with internal teams, the CFO, and global stakeholders
- Contribute to building new finance systems and structures
You’ll Thrive Here If You…
- Are an accountant who wants more than just journal entries
- Love building new processes, not just maintaining old ones
- Enjoy wearing multiple hats in a small, fast-paced environment
- Can collaborate cross-functionally and globally
- Are curious about film finance, capital movements, and treasury
- Love to collaborate and find the answer
This Role Isn’t For You If…
- You want a rigid structure with clearly defined tasks only
- You don't like to collaborate or bring any energy to the group
- You like to receive orders and not be proactive
- You prefer to work slowly or wait for direction
- You don’t like working onsite or being interrupted by change
Must-Haves:
Just as important as the technical skills in this role is your personality and how you fit into the team. They’re looking for someone who can bring a fresh perspective, add balance, and bring a bit of energy and drive to the group. From a financial or operational perspective, this isn't insanely complex. What they are looking for is a strong foundation, curiosity and a great character to add a new dynamic to their team.
- Ideally, between 3-8 years of experience in Accounting
- Extra points if you have corporate or financial accounting experience
- Strong Excel skills
- Ability to manage reporting, reconciliations, and financial operations independently
- Comfort working in small, lean environments - bringing your own unique personality!
- Commercial mindset and ability to interpret legal/financial documents
- Willingness to learn and grow with the role
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in SMEs or fast-paced environments
- CPA or close to completion
- Familiarity with film finance, property, or private equity
- Exposure to treasury or loan management
- Experience with Xero or interest in implementing new finance tools
