Bookkeeper / AP Assistant (Part Time)

We're a studio built on connection. The best work happens shoulder-to-shoulder-pin-ups, workshops, model reviews-because ideas move faster in person. We work hybrid: three days together in the studio, with more as projects demand. We value flexibility, but this role isn't remote; candidates must be local to one of our studios and available onsite regularly.
