Talentedge Recruitment Limited, Los Angeles, CA, United States


Finance Manager | High-Growth Creative / Production Business | Los Angeles (Hybrid)
Fast-growing, multidisciplinary creative and production business operating at the intersection of technology, design, and live experiences.

This is a commercially focused Finance Manager role sitting at the heart of a project-based, fast-paced environment. Working closely with senior leadership to drive performance, visibility, and better decision-making.

The Role
You’ll own the day-to-day finance function for the business, partnering closely with operations, production, and client teams to bring clarity to performance and drive commercial outcomes.

Key areas of focus include:

Owning monthly management reporting (P&L, cash flow, KPIs, variance analysis)

Leading forecasting and forward-looking insight for leadership

Driving project-level profitability and revenue visibility

Managing revenue recognition across complex, project-based work (ASC 606)

Partnering with stakeholders to challenge budgets, pricing, and margins

Improving cash flow, billing discipline, and working capital

Acting as the key link between the business and group/shared finance teams

What We’re Looking For

5–8+ years’ experience in finance (Finance Manager / Senior Analyst level)

Strong management reporting + FP&A capability

Experience in project-based, client-led businesses (creative, media, production, agency preferred)

Solid understanding of revenue recognition (ASC 606)

Confident business partner — able to challenge and influence non-finance stakeholders

Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environment

Why This Role?

High visibility with senior leadership

Genuine opportunity to shape how finance supports the business

Exposure to a complex, commercially interesting operating model

Environment that values creativity, speed, and ownership

This role suits someone who wants to move beyond pure reporting and step into a commercial, high-impact finance position.

If you’re used to structured environments with clearly defined lanes, this probably isn’t for you.

If you enjoy building, influencing, and operating close to the business please get in contact
