Production Accountant Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Staff Accountant
Filmmakers Ranch
Full-Time | In-Studio | 9:00am-6:00pm

We are looking for a Staff Accountant who wants to be more than the person quietly "doing the books" in the background.

This is a full-time, operationally critical role inside a business that is not just one thing. Filmmakers Ranch is one part film studio, one part advertising agency with brand clients, one part production company, and one part training school. That means this role sits at the center of a business with multiple revenue streams, multiple entities, multiple rhythms, and multiple kinds of financial discipline happening at once.

You will help hold all of that together.

This is a role for someone who likes numbers, yes, but also likes order, momentum, clarity, and being deeply useful. Someone who understands that creative businesses do not run on vibes alone. They run on clean systems, current numbers, disciplined follow-through, and financial visibility leadership can actually trust.

At Filmmakers Ranch, this role sits at the financial backbone of the business.

You will help make sure payroll runs correctly. Bills are paid on time. Receivables do not drift. Cash is visible. Weekly cost truth is current. Production budgets are being tracked. Agency spend is clean. Training revenue is visible. Leadership can see what is happening, what is overdue, what is under pressure, and what decisions need to be made now.

This is not a bookkeeper-in-the-background role. It is a financial operations seat with real consequence and real ownership.

You will help keep a multi-company creative business financially organized while also serving as the core production accounting support for internal films - tracking costs, supporting budget-vs-actual visibility, keeping backup clean, and making sure the financial side of productions is usable, current, and decision-ready.

The idea is simple: keep the numbers clean, keep the cash visible, keep the reporting current, and make it much easier for leadership to run the business well.

Own the financial operations backbone of a multi-entity creative business and the production accounting discipline for internal films.

This role exists to make sure the money side of the company is not vague, delayed, messy, or reactive. It exists to create clarity across a business that operates as a studio, an agency, a production company, and a training organization all at once.

Done well, this role gives leadership a clean, current picture of where money is, where it is going, what is overdue, what is under pressure, and what needs attention now. It also gives internal productions the cost discipline and reporting structure they need to stay grounded in reality.

Think less "quiet accounting support," more:
the person helping a fast-moving, multi-layered creative business stay financially sharp, operationally disciplined, and hard to surprise.

This is a full-time, in-person role based at the studio, working 9:00am-6:00pm.

You will sit at the intersection of accounting, cash discipline, and operational complexity - helping keep the enterprise current while also supporting internal films with proper production accounting structure.

This role combines bookkeeping accuracy, weekly reporting, payroll discipline, AP / AR control, cash forecasting, reconciliation rigor, and production cost tracking across a business that includes:

• a film studio

• an advertising agency with brand clients

• a production company

• a training school

You are not just entering transactions. You are helping create financial truth across a business with multiple moving parts.

Filmmakers Ranch is not a simple single-entity business with one checking account and one type of customer.

It is a layered creative company with overlapping operations, client work, productions, payroll, vendors, training activity, and leadership decisions that need current information.

A great Staff Accountant helps make sure all of those worlds stay financially visible and properly organized.

That means:

• the studio side stays operationally clear

• the agency side stays disciplined on client costs and reporting

• the production side stays current on budgets and spend

• the training side stays organized and accurately tracked

• leadership can see the whole picture, not just disconnected pieces

That is what makes this role powerful.

This role is for someone who likes complexity, but likes bringing order to it even more.

You may come from accounting, finance, bookkeeping, business administration, or production accounting. You may have experience with multi-entity bookkeeping, payroll, agency accounting, or cost tracking for productions. You may simply be the kind of person who hates financial fog and loves making things make sense.

The best fit is someone who understands that this role is not about managing one neat little set of books. It is about helping leadership understand the financial reality of a business that wears several hats at once - and making sure those hats do not become accounting chaos.

Because the best person for this role does not just enter numbers. They create clarity. They protect cash discipline. They make it easier for leadership to make better decisions across the whole ecosystem.
