Job Position - Financial/Accounting Analyst

Who we are

Creators is a Los Angeles media company that does content syndication, digital/audio publishing and licensing content for film and TV.

We sign writers and artists who produce columns, comic strips and editorial cartoons; we then edit, sell and distribute the content to newspapers and digital outlets worldwide.

When we hire someone to join our team, we look for two things: "brains" (commitment to excellence) and "heart" (motivation and a positive attitude).

At Creators, our cultural commitment to C-COR is what drives our 25-year track record of success. In order to continue to fuel our pursuit of excellence, we need people who embody our culture.

Our Culture

  • Creative — There is a revolution going on in media. We look for people who ask "why" and reject irrational traditions. People’s ideas are more powerful than they know, and we foster an atmosphere where innovation is paramount.
  • Collaborative — At Creators, collaboration is not a buzzword but is instead a guiding principle. Our team members work flexibly across all departments, helping one another flourish.
  • Optimistic — There are many events we cannot control; however, we can control our attitudes. We have a core belief in our abilities and those of our teammates. Attitude is the key to our success.
  • Relentless — We face a barrage of competition and challenges. Everyone gets knocked down from time to time. We are distinguished by our tenacity. Mistakes are immaterial if you are giving everything you can and demonstrate a commitment to improve.
