I've been wanting to ask this question for a while but didn't know who/how to ask. How do small/mid size game companies do their finances. I'm an accountant and would love to work in the industry as games are a huge passion of mine, however the only companies that seem to ever have any finance/accounting jobs are really big ones, like EA or Ubisoft, however I don't really like big companies and prefer smaller companies, I think the working environment is much better in those. So why are there never any Finance/Accounting jobs advertised for small companies, is it that the turnover is very small so those jobs don't open up very often or is it that Accounting is being outsourced to outside companies. The only other possibility I can think of is that they don't advertise those jobs on their websites but do them through recruiters, which seems unlikely to me. If Larian does indeed outsource accounting I would love to know what company they work with.
Hope someone responds.
Thanks.
