Netflix is one of the world’s leading entertainment services with 285 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.

 

Have you ever wondered how we account for content in our financial statements? Are you curious and invested in how to automate workflows for Accounting? Do you enjoy managing and analyzing large data that is used in critical business decisions? If yes, we are looking for you to join other stunning colleagues in Mexico City who share a passion to continue to build the premiere entertainment company in the world that is powered by technology.

The Content Accounting team is responsible for ensuring the timely and accurate reporting of content and content-related transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 

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, and how to supplement that content through consumer products, music, or other off Netflix service distribution.  With continued investment in a slate of content including original productions, content licensing, and international expansion, it's a great time for you to join Netflix.

Qualities We’re Looking For

  • Fundamentals of Accounting - We’d like you to have a minimum of 5 years of experience in accounting backed by a bachelor degree in accounting like a Chartered Accountancy degree/CPA or equivalent. Some work experience in accounting working in a large multinational audit firm is required.

  • Basic knowledge of SOX compliance.

  • 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, 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.

  • You have strong communication skills (both written and oral) and are viewed as a strong cross-functional business partner. 

  • Industry experience is highly preferred, but not essential to the position if you are enthusiastic about the position, have a strong accounting background and be comfortable navigating technical accounting guidance under US GAAP.

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

  • Flexible to collaborate with our U.S. and other offices across multiple time zones. Willingness to travel to our offices overseas.

  • You embrace and advocate the Netflix culture and our long-term view.

More Details/Responsibilities

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

  • Project Set up (in proprietary contract management system) and accounting of content license contracts, with focus on license fee uploads and payment term assignments.

  • Perform monthly close tasks (such as accrual analyses and  reconciliations).

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

  • Account for owned content and work with business partners to understand the full cost of produced shows.

  • Drive process improvements and contribute to exciting projects.

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