Production Accounting Manager

Location: Lexington, KY preferred; candidates located elsewhere in Kentucky are also encouraged to apply. Remote candidates will be considered for the right fit.
Experience: 3 to 5 years
Industry: Film, Television & Media Production

About the Role

Wrigley Media Group is looking for a Production Finance & Accounting Manager to join our team. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the unique financial needs of film, television, and media production and is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.

While we prefer someone based in Lexington, we are open to candidates throughout Kentucky and will consider a remote arrangement for the right person.

We're looking for someone who can wear multiple hats, move easily between production accounting and broader finance responsibilities, and bring strong organization and attention to detail to our team. The right person will be comfortable managing the day-to-day details while also helping us strengthen processes and financial visibility across projects.

What You'll Do
• Manage day-to-day production accounting across multiple active projects
• Track production budgets, actuals, forecasts, commitments, and cost reports
• Process and review invoices, purchase orders, expense reports, petty cash, and production-related expenditures
• Support production payroll, timecards, onboarding, and related documentation
• Work within GreenSlate, RollCredits, Wrapbook, or comparable production accounting/payroll platforms
• Monitor project spending against approved budgets and identify potential variances
• Assist with job costing, project reconciliation, and production closeouts
• Maintain accurate financial records and supporting documentation
• Partner with producers, production teams, operations, and company leadership on project financials
• Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and other corporate accounting needs as needed
• Assist with financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and month-end processes
• Help improve accounting processes, workflows, and internal controls
• Jump in where needed and manage multiple priorities across both production and corporate finance

What We're Looking For
• 3 to 5 years of accounting or finance experience, preferably within film, television, commercial, branded content, or media production
• Hands-on experience with GreenSlate, RollCredits, Wrapbook, or an equivalent production accounting/payroll platform
• Strong understanding of production budgets, cost tracking, payroll, accounts payable, reconciliations, and project-level financial reporting
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working across multiple financial systems
• Highly organized with excellent attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple productions, deadlines, and competing priorities at once
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment and wearing multiple hats
• Strong communicator who can work effectively with accounting professionals, company leadership, producers, and creative/production teams
• Proactive, resourceful, and willing to jump in and solve problems
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred, or equivalent relevant experience

What Success Looks Like

You're someone who can keep the financial details of multiple productions organized without losing sight of the bigger picture. You understand that production accounting doesn't always fit neatly into a traditional accounting environment, and you're comfortable shifting from reviewing a cost report to solving a payroll issue to helping the CFO pull together financial information.

Most importantly, you're dependable, collaborative, flexible, and comfortable being part of a team where everyone pitches in.
