Winning today isn’t about spending more; it’s about knowing more, understanding more, and acting faster. Mogul & Co is The Media Intelligence Company, a managed service media buying and analytics agency that combines predictive technology, advanced analytics, and high-performance media execution to answer one critical question: How does every $1 in media create the next $10 in revenue and business growth?

At Mogul & Co, data is at the center of everything we do, but it’s our people, mindset, and ambition that turn that data into meaningful growth.

About the Role

Mogul & Co is seeking a Staff Accountant (Part-Time, Temporary) to support our Finance & Operations team during a critical growth period. This is a focused, high-impact engagement centered on service billing for a fast-moving media agency. Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the Staff Accountant will own the day-to-day billing cycle for our media services business, ensuring accurate and timely invoicing against contracts, insertion orders, and media plans. In close collaboration with Media Operations and Client Services, you will maintain billing integrity across a portfolio of active accounts while providing light support for monthly close activities. This is a part-time role (~20 hours per week) with an approximate duration of 4.5 months, ideal for someone who thrives in lean, ownership-driven environments and brings hands-on billing experience from an agency or media services background.

Key Responsibilities

• Service Billing & Invoicing: Own the full billing cycle for client media services. Prepare and process invoices with accuracy against contracts, insertion orders, and media plans. Manage billing schedules to ensure timely issuance per contract terms and internal deadlines.
• Billing Reconciliation & Issue Resolution: Reconcile billing data across internal systems and vendor platforms. Investigate and resolve discrepancies proactively, partnering with Media Operations to confirm deliverables and billing inputs before invoices are finalized.
• Accounts Receivable Support: Track outstanding receivables and follow up on aging items. Maintain organized billing records, supporting documentation, and client correspondence related to invoicing.
• Month-End Close Support: Assist with monthly close activities including journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals. Help ensure transactions are recorded accurately and in the correct period.
• Accounts Payable Assistance: Support AP processes as needed, including vendor invoice review, coding, and ensuring timely processing in alignment with vendor terms.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as a reliable point of contact between Finance, Media Operations, and Client Services on all billing-related matters. Communicate clearly and proactively to keep workflows moving.
• Process Documentation & Improvement: Document billing workflows and identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve turnaround times.

Who You Are

A Detail-Obsessed Billing Specialist

2+ years of hands-on billing or invoicing experience, ideally in an agency, media, or professional services environment. You catch the errors others miss and take pride in clean, accurate work.

A Self-Directed Operator

You don’t need to be managed closely. Give you a system and a deadline and you’ll own it end to end. Remote work is second nature, and you communicate proactively when questions arise.

Financially Fluent & Systems-Savvy

Proficient in QuickBooks Online (or comparable platforms) with strong Excel / Google Sheets skills—VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and data manipulation are in your everyday toolkit.

A Clear & Proactive Communicator

You keep stakeholders informed without being asked. When something doesn’t look right, you flag it early and come with context, not just questions.

Comfortable with Media Industry Context

You understand (or are eager to learn quickly) how media billing works—insertion orders, agency fees vs. media costs, accrual-based billing, and the rhythm of campaign-based invoicing.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of accounting experience with a strong emphasis on billing, invoicing, or accounts receivable
• Experience in a media, advertising, agency, or professional services environment
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online or a comparable accounting platform
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data manipulation)
• High attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple billing cycles simultaneously
• Self-starter who can work independently with minimal supervision in a remote setting
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• Familiarity with accrual-based billing workflows and revenue recognition principles
• Experience working with media vendor platforms and reconciling media spend
• Experience with campaign-based or project-based billing structures
• Background or interest in the media, advertising, or marketing technology space

Compensation

• Hourly Rate: $27 – $34 / hour
• Schedule: ~15-20 hours per week
• Duration: Approximately 4.5 months
• Core Collaboration Hours: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM CT, with flexibility on scheduling

Culture & Working Style

We operate with the urgency of a startup and the discipline forged from over a decade of operations and growth:

• Move fast with precision
• High collaboration across technical and commercial teams
• Ownership mindset with real autonomy and accountability
• Decisions grounded in data, testing, and measurable outcomes
• Hybrid flexibility balanced with intentional in-person collaboration

If you thrive in environments where complexity is embraced, learning is constant, and your work directly shapes the product and business, you’ll fit right in.
