Fueled by the broad appeal of the instantaneous enjoyment of unlimited original and licensed movies and TV shows, Netflix has grown to over 148 million paid memberships in over 190 countries. Have you ever wondered how we account for content and revenues 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 provides you the chance to join a team that is committed to transforming the perception of what entertainment is, 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, consumer products, music, and international expansion, it's a great time for you to join Netflix.
QUALITIES WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• We find that individuals who quickly obtained Senior level at a studio, large publicly traded company, 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 public accounting experience under your belt (preferably from the Big 4) 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, invoice processing, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful.
• 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 in a studio, consumer products, or music environment a plus, but not essential to the position if you are enthusiastic about the position 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.
