Chief Financial Officer, Culture Officer

Quentasia Studios

Quentasia Studios is building a new model for premium, inclusive storytelling—one designed to be legible, auditable, and investable at institutional scale. As we prepare to scale into a multi-slate entertainment studio, we are seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who is not only a rigorous financial operator, but a strategic partner capable of translating creative ambition into durable economic outcomes.

This role is for someone who understands that financial discipline is not a constraint on creativity — it is the condition that makes creative freedom possible .

Why This Role Matters

The CFO will be one of the most critical architects of Quentasia’s future.

This role will directly influence:

• How capital is raised, structured, and protected
• How investors experience transparency and trust
• How creative projects are financed without compromising values
• How Quentasia earns credibility with institutional allocators

This is an opportunity to help build a studio that treats finance not as a back-office function, but as a core strategic capability.

Key Responsibilities

Capital Strategy & Investor Stewardship

• Co-lead capital raising across equity, debt, and strategic partnerships.
• Represent Quentasia in conversations with family offices, institutions, banks, and strategic capital partners.
• Design capital structures that balance risk, flexibility, and long-term value creation.
• Partner with the CEO in articulating Quentasia’s financial narrative to investors and stakeholders.

Financial Strategy, Modeling & Governance

• Design and maintain financial models for the studio and slate, including project cash flows, recoupment waterfalls, and return scenarios.
• Establish clear financial guardrails that enable growth while protecting downside risk.
• Build systems that allow investors to understand performance, not just projections.

Systems, Controls & Transparency

• Build and oversee robust financial systems, controls, and reporting frameworks.
• Ensure compliance with accounting standards, internal controls, and risk management protocols.
• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to ensure financial data is accurate, timely, and decision-useful.

Production Finance & Structural Oversight

• Oversee project-level financing structures, including SPVs, tax incentives, payroll, and union/guild compliance.
• Ensure production finance decisions align with both investor expectations and creative realities.
• Coordinate with production accounting teams to ensure consistency and discipline across projects.

Strategic Partnership with the CEO

• Serve as the CEO’s closest partner in evaluating trade-offs between growth, capital deployment, and long-term sustainability.
• Provide clear, principled counsel in moments of ambiguity or pressure.
• Help shape the long-term operating model of the studio as it scales.

Culture, Integrity & Financial Leadership

• Uphold Quentasia’s values in all financial dealings.
• Model integrity, clarity, and accountability in decision-making.
• Lead with both rigor and humanity, recognizing that finance is ultimately about stewarding trust.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Senior finance leader with experience in entertainment, media, private equity, or complex operating environments.
• Demonstrated track record in capital raising and structuring sophisticated financial transactions.
• Deep experience building financial systems, controls, and reporting infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of production finance, tax incentives, and unionized workforces is highly valued.
• Comfortable operating in a lean, evolving organization while building for scale.
• High emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and investor presence.
• A principled operator who believes finance exists to enable excellence, not restrict it.

Engagement Structure

Because Quentasia is in a pre-funding and early scaling phase, this role will begin as:

• Advisory or fractional, transitioning to full-time as financing milestones are achieved
• Active participation in capital strategy and leadership formation
• Advisory equity participation to reflect early belief and contribution
• Full compensation package (salary + equity) activated post-funding

The Opportunity

At Quentasia, you will help design the financial system that makes ambitious, values-aligned storytelling sustainable at scale.

• You will help build a studio where capital is disciplined, transparency is non-negotiable, and financial leadership is a source of strength — for creators, investors, and the company alike.
