Take Your Finance Career to the Next Level

An established and growing entertainment company in Burbank is seeking an exceptional Senior Financial Analyst to join its finance team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a highly analytical finance professional who wants to work in a dynamic entertainment environment while enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule.

You'll have the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, influence financial decisions, improve reporting and forecasting processes, and play an important role in the company's continued growth.

If you're someone who loves working with data, understands the story behind the numbers, and enjoys turning complex financial information into actionable business insights, this could be an excellent next step in your career.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Financial Analyst, you'll play a key role in supporting financial planning, analysis, reporting, forecasting, and business decision-making.

Responsibilities will include:

• Develop and maintain financial models, forecasts, budgets, and reporting packages
• Analyze financial performance and identify trends, opportunities, and risks
• Partner with accounting, operations, and business leadership to provide actionable financial insights
• Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial analysis
• Build sophisticated Excel models and analytical tools
• Analyze large and complex data sets to identify trends and opportunities
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning
• Develop and improve financial reporting processes
• Support management with ad-hoc financial analysis and special projects
• Assist with data migration, data validation, and system/process conversion initiatives
• Reconcile and validate financial data during migration projects
• Identify discrepancies and work with cross-functional teams to resolve data issues
• Help automate and improve reporting and analytical processes
• Present financial findings and recommendations to leadership

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a highly motivated financial professional who can operate independently, think strategically, and roll up their sleeves when necessary.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or related field
• 5+ years of progressive financial analysis experience
• Strong financial modeling and forecasting experience
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
• Experience working with large data sets
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ability to communicate complex financial information clearly
• Experience working cross-functionally with multiple departments
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Experience with:

• Entertainment, media, production, or related industries
• Financial systems implementations or upgrades
• ERP or accounting system conversions
• Data migration and validation
• Business intelligence and reporting tools
• Process improvement and automation

Why This Opportunity?

Join an exciting organization in the heart of Burbank's entertainment community and gain exposure to a dynamic and highly visible business environment.

Enjoy the best of both worlds:

3 days in the office + 2 days working from home.

$130,000–$150,000 base salary + bonus

A comprehensive benefits package designed to support you both professionally and personally.

This is a growing organization with opportunities to expand your responsibilities, work closely with leadership, and continue advancing your career.

Make an Impact

This isn't a position where you'll simply pull reports and send spreadsheets.

You'll have the opportunity to interpret the numbers, influence decisions, improve processes, and help the business grow.

The Person Who Will Thrive Here

The ideal candidate is someone who is:

Analytical. Curious. Strategic. Detail-oriented.

You don't just want to know what happened—you want to understand why it happened and what should happen next.

You're comfortable getting deep into Excel and data, but you can also step back and communicate the bigger financial picture to leadership.

You're equally comfortable working independently from home and collaborating with a team in the office.

Most importantly, you're looking for a company where your experience and ideas will actually make a difference.

Ready for Your Next Opportunity?

If you're an experienced Senior Financial Analyst with advanced Excel skills, data migration experience, and a passion for turning financial data into business insights, we'd love to hear from you.
