Accounting Manager

Company Description

United Collective is a full service agency that looks a lot like today’s US. As growth becomes more elusive in the U.S., clients are needing to look to new, emerging and culturally diverse consumer segments. As a proudly-independent, minority-owned agency we’ve created a uniquely attuned team that, collectively, knows how to connect with the total U.S. market and the many distinct segments that make the U.S. so beautifully diverse. Our services include broadcast advertising, digital advertising, activations, and production. United Collective has two office locations, one in Huntington Beach and the other in New York with about 80 employees with a plan for meaningful growth.

Want to work in a dynamic and exciting environment. We can give you that opportunity. You will be working with and trained by an experienced team of professionals. Your responsibilities will grow as fast as you can handle them and you will learn the business not just accounting. We are looking for a positive attitude and an aptitude to learn.
