We’re LumiQ – an audio-first professional education platform for CPAs. We help CPAs get their continuing professional development/education (CPD/CPE) hours/credits through engaging podcasts with business leaders (the CFOs of Slack, Shopify, Yelp, Yahoo!, TD Bank, and Wealthsimple just to name a few). CPD/CPE is the yearly required learning that CPAs generally dread doing. They’re tired of dealing with boring webinars, irrelevant content and out-of-date product experiences. That’s why they’ve flocked to LumiQ and our mission to make professional education enjoyable.
With hundreds of companies signed up, we’re at the precipice of launching a global movement that’s going to massively change the professional education and podcasting industries.
Despite our lightning growth, we tend not to subscribe to the mantra of “move fast and break things.” Our goal is to build a profitable company, where our employees can learn and grow, and where customers see real value and genuinely enjoy using the product. We are building a company meant to last, and if this resonates with you, we hope you will consider joining us on our journey to transform professional education!
We are looking for an Accounting & Audit Producer to help us disrupt the professional education industry and create the world’s best CPD content!
This is a unique opportunity to use your accounting designation in a creative way, provide value to the CPA community, and be part of a fast-paced growing company! This role is a unique blend of education, content creation, and accounting knowledge, and provides a great opportunity to grow your professional network and brand in the CPA community. Reporting to the Manager of Technical Education, this role will be influential in creating an unrivaled library of technical accounting podcasts. The Accounting & Audit Producer will be responsible for executing on the accounting and audit learning curriculum, finding appropriate guests for each topic, conducting research, and ensuring an educational and enjoyable finished podcast. You’ll learn how to create a podcast from scratch, from pre-production all the way to a polished finished product (don’t worry, prior production experience is not necessary!).
WHO YOU ARE
- You have a recognized accounting designation (CPA, CMA, CIA, or Enrolled Agent)
- 3-5 years of audit or accounting experience, either in public accounting or industry
- You are a technical accounting and audit enthusiast: You are comfortable explaining accounting and audit standards in an easy to digest way.
- Expertise in IFRS, US GAAP, and Canadian/US audit standards is preferred. If you don’t know it—you can research and learn it quickly. You don’t need to be an expert in every topic, but instead be able to synthesize the expertise of our guests to create something accurate and uniquely interesting in professional learning.
- You are a critical thinker: You enjoy being able to use your judgment to decide which technical accounting and audit topics we should tackle, and the best way to present the information.
- Collaboration and prioritization come easily to you: This role will require balancing multiple stakeholders, schedules, and team members' input. You will work closely with LumiQ hosts, to build each episode collaboratively.
- You are very organized and detail-oriented: Because this role has multiple podcasts on the go at any given time, you’ve developed processes and strategies to stay extremely organized. You see updating the project management tracker as a key to success rather than an annoying administrative duty. When it comes to the accuracy of the content you will be creating, you are confident in your abilities to ensure everything is factual, while being digestible and enjoyable at the same time.
- You are proactive: You do not sit around, waiting to be told what to do. You are great at anticipating problems before they happen and love to suggest ideas on how to make things better.
WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
- Like any start up, you will be expected to wear many hats, but your main duties will revolve around accounting and audit learning and content creation. Our focus on the Technical Content team is currently on tax, accounting, and audit content applicable to both Canadian and US markets. As you progress in the role, your scope of duties and responsibilities will grow. In the beginning, your main responsibilities will include:
- Develop Content:
- Research and pitch technical accounting and audit topics for episodes
- Find, schedule, prep, and coordinate appropriate guests for each topic, with support from the Production Coordinator
- Collaborate with the host to create interview prep, including providing foundational research to support the interview and drafting interview questions
- Support the host during interviews by keeping track of time, providing interesting follow-up questions, fact checking information, and monitoring for audio quality
- If you’re interested in the opportunity to host episodes, we’ll provide host training and work towards that opportunity
- Review raw audio and make edits from a content perspective (prior audio editing experience not required), ensuring the content is engaging, concise, and achieves intended learning objectives
- Write copy for each episode. Because this is an educational podcast that is only available on our platform, this will include: episode descriptions, quiz questions, speaker bio, glossary terms, visual aid, etc.
- This role will require being open-minded to new ways of doing things, experimenting with new processes and systems, collaborating and providing feedback on what is and isn’t working. Every week may look a little different as we continue to rapidly scale!
If you think your experience is most of the way there we’d still love to meet you!
