• Build financial models to evaluate new business opportunities, strategic initiatives, investments, and potential acquisitions.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., Corporate Development, Operations, Talent, Legal) to support deal diligence, pricing strategies, and scenario planning.
• Deliver actionable insights through monthly financial reporting, KPI dashboards, and variance analysis.
• Own and evolve internal finance processes, including headcount planning, vendor spend, and creator P&Ls.
• Serve as a key partner to external stakeholders such as auditors, legal counsel, and tax advisors.
• Develop internal controls and scalable systems for a growing organization.
  
  

Qualifications

• 5-7 years of experience in finance roles within high-growth media, tech, or consumer companies - ideally with exposure to both FP&A and strategic finance.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or CPA a plus.
• Proven track record of leading budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis in entrepreneurial environments.
• Expertise in financial modeling, scenario planning, and translating data into strategic recommendations.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence decisions across senior stakeholders.
• Located in (or willing to relocate to) Los Angeles.
  
  

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with M&A processes, including modeling, diligence, and post-close integration.
• Experience working in companies that blend services and IP (e.g., talent management, studios, agencies).
• Comfort operating with limited infrastructure - building from 0 to 1.
• Passion for the creator economy, digital media trends, and entrepreneurial business models.
