Meet the Team

Founder & CEO

Mandy Cooper

Mandy began her career in production (even meeting her husband on a Burger King shoot!), and as she began to take on more line producing work, quickly found her permanent place in the industry on the numbers side.

She founded Media Financial Works out of her deep respect for financial order, account reconciling (seriously – it’s her zen thing!) and desire to assist production people who do great and interesting work. There is great satisfaction in building external accounting departments that feel seamlessly connected to their companies and owners. Mandy’s mission is to continue building these successful partnerships.
