Finance Manager & Controller

Join Our Team at Currents Management!

Currents Management is redefining what talent management looks like in the creator economy—and we’re just getting started. As one of the fastest growing digital talent firms in the country, we work with some of the most influential and inspiring creators online. Our mission is simple: to unleash the full creative potential of our clients by moving mountains. 

We're looking for a finance leader to oversee our finance team, and bring structure and scalability to our growing invoicing and payment operations. You'll help keep brand collections and talent payments moving, build reliable processes, and reduce the manual work that slows the team down. This is a hands-on role for someone who can work closely with our accounting team, identify what needs attention, and improve how work gets done. 

What You’ll Do 

• Oversee Accounting Operations and Team. Manage the current accounting team, act as stakeholder for internal and external parties, and coordinate with internal teams and leadership to keep AP and AR functions running smoothly and efficiently. As lead, you will be responsible for setting a hands-on example for your team and fostering a proactive and diligent work environment. 

• Assist with Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Partner with our accountant and bookkeeper on invoicing, collections, talent payment requests, and approvals, and ensure all financial records and payment statuses are accurate and orderly. 

• Operational Improvements. Identify bottlenecks, recurring delays, process and workflow inefficiencies, system issues, and manual steps, then recommend and implement practical improvements as Currents grows. 

• Financial Closing, Reporting & KPIs: Oversee, track and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial closes, statements, and reporting for internal and external stakeholders. As needed, collaborate with leadership to create dashboards and performance metrics to track company and team progress towards revenue goals. 

• Budgeting & Forecasting: Partner with leadership to build and optimize budgets, track budget variances, and develop financial forecasts and goals.  

• Internal Controls & Compliance: Design and implement internal policies to safeguard company assets, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance with tax laws, statutory regulations, and accounting standards like GAAP. 

What We’re Looking For 

• 3+ years experience as a corporate finance leader, preferably in a related industry 

• 7+ years hands-on experience with AP/AR and finance operations in a business with a high volume of client transactions. 

• A degree in finance or economics is preferred, as is a CPA or equivalent certification 

• Strong organization and follow-through. You can manage competing requests, stay on top of deadlines, and proactively follow up without waiting for reminders. 

• Comfort with financial systems and accurate records. Experience with QuickBooks, payment platforms, and CRMs is valuable; familiarity with Melio or Attio is a plus. 

• A practical approach to process improvement. You can spot repetitive work, build a clearer workflow, and help others adopt it. 

• Good judgment, clear communication, and strong resolution skills when coordinating with internal teams, and external partners  

• Attention to detail and discretion when working with payments, account information, and sensitive financial data.
