YouTube Video Editor for Accounting Firm — Ongoing Work
Worldwide
I own a virtual accounting and tax firm and regularly record educational YouTube videos focused on bookkeeping, federal tax, and IRS-related topics. I record each episode in Riverside. The raw recording is essentially me sitting in front of the camera narrating the episode. I will provide the Riverside recording, including both the video and audio files. The audio will generally already be cleaned up in Riverside. What I need is someone who can take that fairly simple “homemade” recording and turn it into a polished, professional YouTube video. I do **not** want the finished video to simply be me talking on screen for the entire episode. My voice should remain throughout the video, but the visuals should change where appropriate. This may include: * Relevant B-roll * On-screen text * Simple graphics and diagrams * Tax and bookkeeping-related visuals * Screenshots or document-style visuals * Branded transitions * Portions of my original camera footage * A professional intro/outro or end screen The goal is to use my camera footage where it adds value, while using other visuals to support what I am explaining. For example, if I am discussing S corporations, payroll, bookkeeping records, IRS forms, documentation, or financial statements, I would prefer visuals that actually relate to those topics rather than generic footage of people sitting in offices or looking at computers. I will provide direction for each video, along with company logo files and other branding materials. The overall style should be: * Professional * Educational * Clean and modern * Calm and authoritative * Visually interesting without being overly produced * Appropriate for an accounting and tax firm I do not use fear-based IRS messaging, and I do not want dramatic audit imagery, handcuffs, gavels, flashing red warning graphics, or similar visuals. ### What I Will Provide * Riverside video and audio files * Cleaned audio * Company logo and branding assets * General direction for the episode * Guidance on specific sections or visuals where appropriate * Feedback during the initial projects so we can establish a consistent editing style ### What I Need From You * Professional YouTube video editing * Clean pacing and cuts * Appropriate use of my original camera footage * Relevant B-roll and visual selection * On-screen text and simple graphics where useful * Consistent branding * Final YouTube-ready video export * Reliable turnaround and communication This is intended to become an **ongoing relationship**. I publish YouTube content regularly and would prefer to find one editor who can learn the Zero Fluff Books style and handle future videos consistently. I would like to begin with a **paid test video** before moving into ongoing work. When applying, please include: * Examples of educational, business, finance, legal, accounting, or similar YouTube videos you have edited * Your typical turnaround time * Your proposed flat rate per finished video * Whether you source B-roll/stock footage yourself * What editing software you use Please do not send a generic proposal. I would rather see a few relevant examples of your work and a brief explanation of how you would approach turning a simple talking-head recording into a professional educational YouTube video.
