Job Details

Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 278 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

The Role

Netflix is still relatively new to Gaming and this role provides you the chance to join a team that is committed to transforming the perception of what entertainment is and how it can be enjoyed through the Netflix service.  It's a great time to join our team as we build out workflows and systems to account for our Games business from the ground up and we continue to look for the best and brightest talent to scale with our growth opportunity. Additionally, Localization is a critical area of our Television and Film business and is key to us being able to share content our members love globally.

QUALITIES WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Fundamentals of Accounting- We'd like you to have 3+ years of relevant accounting experience under your belt backed by a bachelor's degree in accounting and/or finance; CPA license is preferred.

  • Industry experience is not essential if you are enthusiastic about the position, have a strong accounting background and are capable of learning quickly. A love for gaming or accounting experience at a gaming company is a plus!

  • Attention to detail + love for data - We pride ourselves on producing high quality work, scrutinizing important numbers and formulas for accuracy, and using spreadsheets and system data to reconcile accounts and solve problems; we like our accountants to love Excel pivot tables and be unphased by large data sets.

  • Enthusiasm and quick learning - Enthusiasm for designing and building new accounting systems and making improvements to existing systems. Prior work with contract review (revenue, leases, or other complex documents), data entry and analysis, research, and other problem-solving tasks is helpful, but we understand you probably have never done content accounting.  That's OK with us because we'll teach you as long as you're excited about learning.

  • Curiosity and passion - Our team members ask probing questions, challenge the status quo, make changes to improve processes, have a constant eye for innovation, and have fun while doing it all; positive attitude and never settling for “good enough” are key, along with fitting into our unique company culture.

  • Adaptable - You have to be comfortable in an ever-changing eco-system of content, finance and accounting issues and projects.

  • You embrace and advocate the Netflix and our .

MORE DETAILS / RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Based in our Hollywood office, reporting to the management team in Content Accounting.

  • Part of the team responsible for the financial integrity of the company's gaming contractual commitments, assets (capitalization), liabilities (payments), and expenses (amortization and development).

  • Perform monthly close tasks (such as capitalization roll forwards,  accrual analyses, and  reconciliations).

  • Review and prepare documentation of games development agreements, which includes interpreting contractual terms and understanding the application of our accounting policies.

  • Account for games content costs and work with business partners to understand the full cost of both externally and internally developed games.

  • Establish analytics and processes for this new and growing area of the business.

  • Drive process implementation, improvements and contribute to exciting projects.

  • Cross-functional interaction with teams outside of Content Accounting, including those across finance and games studio organizations.

As Netflix continues to expand its content offering, the accounting and operational complexities are also growing. We're facing new challenges, and we're having plenty of fun. Come be a part of it and help make a positive impact!

Due to the nature and scope of this role, we will need to run a background check prior to starting with us. 

Our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses. You choose each year how much of your compensation you want in salary versus stock options. To determine your personal top of market compensation, we rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. The range for this role is $50,000-240,000.

Netflix provides comprehensive benefits including Health Plans, Mental Health support, a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, Stock Option Program, Disability Programs, Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts, Family-forming benefits, and Life and Serious Injury Benefits. We also offer paid leave of absence programs. Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off to be used for vacation, holidays, and sick paid time off.
