Job description

About Odyssey Entertainment Group

Odyssey Entertainment Group is a women-led, purpose-driven talent management company that helps creators and artists build lasting brands with heart. We go beyond trends and transactions to champion meaningful careers—guiding our talent through brand partnerships, product launches, books, podcasts, and more. We believe in people over profit, purpose over popularity, and legacy over likes. Our team is deeply relational, highly strategic, and committed to helping creators build businesses that truly last.

Job Description

The Accounting Manager owns OEG's day-to-day internal accounting function and is the steady hand behind our books. You manage the Accounting Coordinator, keep our bookkeeping, payables, and receivables accurate and on schedule, and own talent accounting from commission calculations through payouts. You report directly to company leadership, and you serve as our primary internal contact, making sure month-end close and financial reporting run smoothly every cycle. This role is a great fit for someone who is precise, organized, and comfortable owning a function end to end.

Job Responsibilities

Internal Accounting Oversight

• Manage day-to-day accounting workflows, deadlines, and internal procedures across the team.
• Direct and review the work of the Accounting Coordinator, so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Set the standard for accuracy and timeliness across all internal accounting processes.
• Escalate complex accounting, reporting, tax, or financial matters as appropriate.
• Own transaction coding and monthly bank and credit card reconciliations.
• Maintain supporting schedules and ensure the day-to-day books are accurate and up to date.
• Flag and resolve discrepancies before they become month-end surprises.

Accounts Payable

• Manage vendor setup, bill processing, and payment preparation.
• Own vendor-related accounting matters and keep vendor records current.
• Ensure bills are processed and paid accurately and on time.

Accounts Receivable Oversight

• Review receivables activity and step in on discrepancies or more complex payment issues.
• Manage late-payment escalations and keep aging receivables under control.
• Partner with the Accounting Coordinator on day-to-day receivables tracking and follow-up.
• Monitor the local PO Box for checks and other accounting-related mail, logging and depositing items promptly.

Talent Accounting

• Own commission calculations and commission statements for our roster.
• Manage talent payouts and review outstanding talent balances.
• Serve as the point person for accounting questions related to talent pay.

Month-End Preparation

• Ensure all reconciliations and supporting schedules are complete and accurate ahead of month-end close.
• Proactively communicate open items so close happens on time, every time.

Payroll Accounting

• Coordinate with leadership on payroll-related accounting, payroll tax accounts, and related financial records.
• Ensure payroll accounting stays accurate and compliant.

Team Management & Coverage

• Train and supervise the Accounting Coordinator, providing feedback and coaching along the way.
• Provide coverage or reassign responsibilities as needed so the function never has a gap.
• Know the Accounting Coordinator's day-to-day responsibilities well enough to step in and fill the gaps when needed, including: managing the accounting inbox and routine inquiries; monitoring outstanding invoices and receivables follow-up; supporting talent accounting setup, payment tracking, and commission documentation; updating campaign payment information in Podio; and general accounting support such as transaction research, receipt and document collection, and data entry.

Minimum Qualifications Required

• Minimum of 4-6 years of accounting experience, including bookkeeping, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.
• Proven experience managing month-end close and reconciliations.
• Prior experience supervising or managing a direct report.
• Strong understanding of commission structures and talent or agency accounting is a plus.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Comfortable working with outsourced accounting or finance partners.
• Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks) and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams).
• Excellent communication skills and sound judgment handling sensitive financial information with discretion.
• Ability to work well under pressure, manage competing deadlines, and problem-solve independently.
