Yes, this is an accounting job. No, it’s not boring.
We’re looking for someone who loves organization, thrives in chaos, and gets an unhealthy amount of satisfaction when a spreadsheet finally balances to the penny.
You’ll help keep the business side of a fast-moving media company running – working with management, sales teams, radio and digital content creators, and a million moving parts in between.
One minute you’re handling invoices, the next minute an upcoming artist or candidate for Governor is walking by your desk.
What you’ll actually do:
· Accounts payable & receivable
· Timecard management
· Budget tracking
· Quarterly and monthly reports
· Learn industry systems and software
· Help keep the wheels from flying off
You should apply if:
· You’ve got accounting or bookkeeping experience
· You’re detail-obsessed without rigidity
· You can multitask without melting down
· You learn software fast
· Excel doesn’t scare you
· You like fast-paced environments where no two days feel the same
· You’re self-motivated and don’t need someone hovering over your shoulder
Bonus points if:
· You secretly enjoy creating spreadsheets
· You’ve fixed someone else’s error just because you couldn’t ignore it
· You can work with a team and stay focused.
This isn’t corporate beige. This is radio, digital, social media, live events, content creation, and organized chaos.
