The Business

Following a period of rapid expansion, this Independent TV Production business based in London have decided to create a new role for a Production Accountant. The company have doubled turnover in each of the last three years, and it now sits at around £20m for the group. They are renowned for their non-corporate work environment as well as flexibility with work/life balance.

The team has been growing quickly, and you will be partnering closely with teams of up to 30 people. They have a fantastic track record in the industry, producing award winning shows, despite operating for a relatively short amount of time. This has led to some major investment in the company by institutional investors, highlighting the excellent progression opportunities on offer.

The Role:

As the Production Accountant you will work closely with Senior Management and the Production teams to be the main contact point for finances on individual productions. This will include partnering with Producers on setting and monitoring the budgets, managing cashflow and giving weekly insightful cost reports. Other responsibilities will include dealing with Payroll for the productions, and managing the productions from the top-down.

Due to the rapid scaling nature of the company, you will also have responsibilities akin to a Finance Manager. For example, you will support on producing management accounts and cashflow management for the business. As the company continues to grow, there will be clear opportunities to future progression. This is a great opportunity to get in at the ground-level of a high-growth TV Production business and have a significant impact.

Duties:

  • Liaising closely with the Production Team and Senior Management.
  • Taking full responsibility for the Production Accounting.
  • Partnering with Producers to set and manage the budgets.
  • Providing weekly cost reports with insightful analysis.
  • Oversee payroll for the productions.
  • Supporting with producing the Management Accounts.
  • Cashflow Management.
  • Manage Tax and Payroll.
  • Ad-Hoc projects with the Financial Controller

What we need to see:

  • Experience working as a Production Accountant in the TV, Film or Media sector

Or,

  • Experience as a Management Accountant/Finance Manager with exposure to Production Accounting.

Salary: £45,000 - £55,000
