[Hiring] Senior Associate, Accounting & Operations @Boring Stuff

Role Description

We’re hiring a Senior Associate, Accounting & Operations to work across all aspects of our business. The accounting side is the foundation: you need to be able to open a client’s QuickBooks, understand what you’re looking at, and own the close. But this role is much bigger than bookkeeping. You’ll be in the middle of everything:

• AP/AR
• Payroll
• Tax prep coordination
• HR compliance
• Client onboarding
• Vendor negotiations
• Whatever else walks through the door on any given day

Our clients are creator businesses. Some are solo operators making mid-six figures. Some are multi-entity production companies with W-2 staff, brand deals, and equity structures. No two are alike and no two days are alike. You’ll need to be technically sharp, calm under pressure, and able to shift gears constantly. This is an early role at a growing company. The scope expands fast for the right person.

Qualifications

• You know QuickBooks Online inside & out. Reconciliations, chart of accounts, multi-entity management, the close process. This is non-negotiable.
• You’ve done real bookkeeping across multiple clients or entities simultaneously, not just one company’s books.
• You understand basic entity structures, S-corps, LLCs, C-corps, and know what questions to ask when something doesn’t look right.
• You’re strong in Excel and Google Sheets: SUMIFS, data cleanup, financial modeling at a basic level.
• You’ve worked with 1099s, payroll software, and tax prep coordination in a professional setting.
• You communicate clearly with non-finance people. Our clients are creators, not CFOs.
• You are relentless about follow-through. You chase missing statements, you follow up twice, you don’t let things stall.
• You handle sensitive financial information for prominent clients with complete discretion.
• You’re open to remote work, with a preference for candidates in the Greater LA area and willingness to travel to LA periodically.

Requirements

• Experience filing or preparing individual or business tax returns (PTIN a plus), or actively working toward an EA or CPA.
• Familiarity with Gusto, Ramp, Bill.com, or Lumanu.
• Experience working with entertainment, media, or creator-adjacent businesses.

Benefits

• Direct exposure to how creator businesses actually operate at the financial and operational level.
• A path to grow into senior responsibilities fast. We’re scaling and the scope expands with performance.
• High ownership, low politics, no busywork.
• Flexible and remote-friendly outside of tax season.
• Real tax season experience alongside our CPAs and EAs (valuable if you’re building toward an EA/CPA credential).
• Behind-the-scenes access to some of the most interesting businesses in the creator economy.
• Full health, 401k.
• Unlimited PTO (apart from April 1–April 15).
