SUMMARY
A production company specializing in diverse children’s programming is looking for an Accountant with strong accounts payable experience to join their thriving organization. This is a full-time direct hire opportunity with a daylight Monday – Friday hybrid remote schedule (typically 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home).
This organization leaves a significant legacy and has made a dramatic and positive impact on the city of Pittsburgh and surrounding regions. They are mission focused, driven, extremely proud of the work they do, and have an innate love for children and families. Overall, they offer a culture built on inclusiveness, kindness, empathy, and flexibility.
They get that everyone has a life and family and truly put an emphasis on work life balance. Their mindset is your job is only part of you and what you do, it’s not all of you. You’ll never hear someone say this isn’t my job. There’s no room for hierarchy or egos. By effectively working together as a team, they get the work done, so everyone can leave work and go live their lives.
Phenomenal Benefits! Some highlights include:
- 100% company-paid health insurance up to a family plan.
- Time off in the first year includes 20 days of PTO plus 13 holidays, which includes office closure over the Christmas and New Year holidays.
- Free Parking – covered, secure, and very close to the office.
- Two salary adjustments per year.
- Generous retirement company contribution and match.

A person with a strong level of professional judgement, proactive nature, and good people skills is essential to performing this role.
Essential duties will include:
- Processing invoices and payments efficiently and timely.
- Posting expense transactions into QuickBooks and FileMaker databases for separate production budgets and programs, maintaining accurate financial records.
- Preparing bank deposits and conducting monthly bank statement reconciliations to ensure accuracy in financial reporting.
- Preparing annual 1099 forms, ensuring compliance with tax requirements.
- Managing company credit card administration, including tracking and reconciling expenses.
