Summary    We’re looking for a curious, hands-on Project Accountant who loves connecting the dots between numbers and stories. You’ll be part of a growing finance team that thrives on solving puzzles, streamlining processes, and bringing structure to creative chaos. Your work will directly fuel our storytelling - every project you help track and every insight you uncover ensures our creatives can focus on what they do best: creating impact through story.   You’ll play a key role in managing the integrity of the general ledger, supporting project-level accounting, and delivering accurate, insightful reporting that supports business decisions.

• Track and reconcile project-level costs, labor allocations, and vendor activity.
• Experiment with systems integrations to make our reporting more connected and intuitive.
