About this role
WPP Production's Finance Coordinator role centers on managing the billing lifecycle for a global content production company. You'd handle invoice preparation and processing through Maconomy, create estimates, issue purchase orders, reconcile accounts, and maintain project records across their studio operations. The position requires close coordination with client engagement, production, and post-production teams to ensure accurate documentation and timely billing on all active projects.
This is a freelance, hybrid position based in Detroit that suits someone with one or more years of finance or accounting experience, ideally from a creative, advertising, or post-production background. You'll need comfort with project and finance management software, the ability to create and edit financial reports, and strong organizational skills to manage multiple concurrent projects and their documentation. The role demands attention to detail and the ability to troubleshoot billing issues while collaborating across multiple departments.
If you're looking for exposure to large-scale production workflows and want to work within a major global creative organization, this offers that opportunity. The hybrid arrangement means you'd be in the Detroit office around four days weekly, with flexibility available if needed.
