An award-winning global entertainment group is looking for an Accounts Assistant to join its busy London finance team on an initial six-month fixed-term contract. They make high-profile TV, live events and entertainment content for audiences worldwide, so no two weeks are the same.

• Helping prepare weekly payment runs for vendors and crew expenses
• Managing company p-cards (Pleo) and reconciling spend against receipts and project codes

• Supporting the production finance team with cost reports and payroll prep
• Working with heads of department and production coordinators to sort out expense queries
• Keeping accurate digital records for audit and tax credit compliance

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years’ accounts experience, ideally in TV, film or the wider media and entertainment industry
• A good understanding of VAT; knowledge of HETV tax credits is a bonus
