Content Accountant

Job description

Fueled by the broad appeal of the instantaneous enjoyment of unlimited original and licensed movies and TV shows, Netflix has grown to over 158 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.  Have you ever wondered how we account for content in our financial statements? Are you curious and invested in how to automate workflows for Accounting? Do you enjoy managing and analyzing large data that is used in critical business decisions? If yes, we are looking for you to join other stunning colleagues in Los Angeles who share a passion to continue to build the premiere entertainment company in the world that is powered by technology. This role sits on our broader Content Finance Controllership organization (view [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkjG8H3MMJ0&t=2s) to learn more about the team). It will provide you the chance to join a team that is committed to transforming the perception of what entertainment is and how it can be enjoyed through the Netflix service, and how to supplement that content through consumer products, music, or other off Netflix service distribution.  With continued investment in a slate of content including original productions, content licensing, and international expansion, it's a great time for you to join Netflix.
·  We find that individuals who quickly obtained Senior level at a studio or public accounting firm are more likely to be suited to this unique challenge. If you’re a Senior or a rising star Senior, we’d love to talk to you!
·  Fundamentals of Accounting- We'd like you to have 3+ years of relevant accounting experience under your belt backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting and/or finance; CPA license is preferred.
·  Attention to detail + love for data - We pride ourselves on producing high quality work, scrutinizing important numbers and formulas for accuracy, and using spreadsheets and system data to reconcile accounts and solve problems; we like our accountants to love Excel pivot tables and be unphased by large data sets.
·  Enthusiasm and quick learning - Enthusiasm for designing and building new accounting systems and making improvements to existing systems. Prior work with contract review (revenue, leases, or other complex documents), data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful, but we understand you probably have never done content accounting.  That's OK with us because we'll teach you as long as you're excited about learning.
·  Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, make changes to improve processes, and have fun while doing it all; positive attitude and never settling for “good enough” are key, along with fitting into our unique company culture.
·  Industry experience is not essential to the position if you are enthusiastic about the position, have a strong accounting background and capable of learning quickly.
·  Adaptable - You have to be comfortable in an ever-changing eco-system of content, finance and accounting issues and projects.
·  You embrace and advocate the Netflix culture and our long-term view .
