The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  ViacomCBS is hiring a Staff Accountant in Thornton, CO.

• Role description

  ViacomCBS treats Management Reporting and CFA Certification as table stakes; the real test for this Staff Accountant is judgment under deadline. The reward structure favors doers: $133,000 - $196,000 upfront, real finance ownership, and a ViacomCBS team pulling the same direction.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Draft the board deck that turns numbers into a decision
  • Trim days off the AP cycle without straining a single vendor
  • Field the deeply technical ad-hoc analysis the CFO needs before Monday
  • Own the $133,000 - $196,000 compensation accrual and the math behind every line
  • Keep capital-expenditure approvals flowing without losing the paper trail
  • Build the Variance Analysis model that finally retires the manual workbook
  • Turn quarter-end into the calmest week of the finance cycle

  What You'll Bring

  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a lead capacity
  • The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
  • Demonstrated comfort presenting to lead leadership
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email

  The team at ViacomCBS is small, fast-paced, and entirely convinced that Thornton is the best place to reinvent finance. We give people autonomy early and trust them to ask for support when they need it.

  We offer a competitive salary of $133,000 - $196,000, comprehensive health coverage, and a clear path to grow into senior finance work.
