Job Summary

We're looking for a Financial Operations Analyst to work directly with our CEO to support financial reporting, improve workflows, and drive smarter decision-making across our fast-growing business. This is not a traditional finance team role-our existing accounting team handles day-to-day bookkeeping and compliance. Instead, this role is about problem-solving, process optimization, and helping leadership scale an evolving media company.

If you're someone who thrives in a fast-moving, dynamic environment, enjoys working across multiple business units, and wants to help shape financial workflows rather than just follow existing ones, this role is

for you.

Responsibilities

• Be the CEO's financial right hand - Help track financial performance, support decision-making, and drive operational efficiencies.
• Support financial reporting & month-end closes - Ensure accuracy, identify insights, and refine reporting structures.
• Streamline and automate financial processes - Improve budgeting, forecasting, and data analysis (bonus if you can integrate AI to help us scale!).
• Liaise with the finance/accounting team - Work closely with internal finance but stay focused on strategy & operations, not bookkeeping.
• Build financial models & insights - Support leadership with scenario planning, business case development, and revenue analysis.
• Organize & manage financial data - Cross-check data across spreadsheets and reporting systems to ensure accuracy and efficiency across the organization.
• Help scale a fast-growing business - Work across multiple revenue streams, adapt to changing priorities, and bring a problem-solving mindset to financial workflows.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of finance, FP&A, business operations, or strategy experience
• Experience with month-end financial closes and reporting
• Strong Excel & financial modeling skills (but must be adaptable in a startup setting)
• Problem-solver who enjoys optimizing financial workflows rather than just maintaining them
• Interest in new media, entertainment, or digital content is a plus
• Comfort in a fast-moving, evolving business structure with multiple revenue streams
• AI/Machine Learning experience is a bonus, especially for automation
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field
• Must be able to work in our Los Angeles office 2-3 times per week

Why Join Flighthouse?

This is not a traditional FP&A or accounting role. We're looking for a proactive, hands-on financial strategist who can work directly with leadership, help scale our business, and make an impact beyond spreadsheets. If you want a role where you'll help shape how financial operations run-not just check off boxes-this is it.

Pay Scale

$70,000 - $95,000
