Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity

ACT Entertainment has spent over 40 years driving innovation in the entertainment industry — and we’re growing. This role is fully remote, giving you the flexibility to work from home while still owning a highly visible seat at the table. You’ll report directly to the CFO, partner with executive leadership across the company, and build the inventory accounting function from a position of real influence. If you want autonomy, a role that stretches you, and a clear path to grow into broader financial leadership, this is it.

What You’ll Get

• Fully remote work — work from anywhere in the U.S., with light travel (up to 25%) to visit warehouse sites, support audits, and partner with operations teams in person.
• Direct line to the CFO and a genuine seat on the Finance leadership team — your work shapes company-wide decisions, not just a single department.
• Ownership of a critical, high-visibility function: you’ll become the company’s go‑to expert on inventory accounting across multiple divisions and warehouse locations.
• A growth runway — this role is explicitly built as a foundation for future leadership opportunities within Finance.
• Variety and challenge — no two days look the same, spanning costing, ERP process improvement, audits, and cross‑functional partnership with Operations and Supply Chain.
• A stable, established company — 40+ years in business with a track record of sustainable growth in the entertainment industry.
