Navia Mann (she/her)

Finance Manager

  • LinkedIn

Born and raised in Alabama, I’ve carried a strong work ethic and commitment to excellence from my roots all the way to Los Angeles. With over 15 years of experience in Refrigerated Logistics, I developed a deep foundation in financial systems, coordination, and operational efficiency. Yet, my true passion called me toward a more creative space, Production Accounting, where storytelling meets strategy.

After completing the CFC Pilot Career Pathways: Production Accounting Program, I gained the tools to merge analytical precision with creative finance. My six months at Universal Pictures, working between the Post Accounting Hub and being mentored by Finance Executives, deepened my understanding of studio-level accounting and the art of financial stewardship in entertainment.

From there, I joined a Disney Animation project as a Production Accounting Clerk, applying both technical skill and teamwork to the heart of creative production. Currently, I serve as an Accounting Specialist on the Producers Desk within the Finance Department at SAG-AFTRA, where I continue to bridge artistry with accountability.

Now, as the newly appointed Finance Manager for Black N Animated, I am honored to channel my diverse experience into purpose-driven work, advancing financial transparency, empowering the Back Animation Community, and ensuring every dollar supports a greater story.
