Job description

A lead Staff Accountant who can defend a number to an auditor and sell it to a board is rare; Lionsgate is hiring exactly that. Earn $114,000 - $166,000, own outcomes, and grow your finance career with a team that values 9 years of real experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate records in Critical Thinking and recommend process improvements
• Draft tax memos clear enough that legal signs without rewrites
• Tighten the revenue-recognition policy as new finance deals get complex
• Pressure-test pricing models before they reach the Lionsgate board
• Reconcile payroll liabilities so the AZ filings never bounce

What You'll Bring

• A Lionsgate mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
• Resilience measured across 9 years of finance cycles
• Comfort being measured against a clear lead bar
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• 9 years that taught you which corners can be cut

For all its self-directed ambition, Lionsgate still operates like the scrappy Glendale startup that first cracked finance years ago. Candid, kind feedback is part of the job, and we coach toward growth rather than blame.

• We back $114,000 - $166,000 with a growth ladder, a mentor invested in your Critical Thinking, and benefits that travel with you across Glendale, AZ.

This posting reflects an open need we are working to close this quarter.
