Position Purpose:

This role sits at the intersection of accounting, finance, technology, and music distribution. You will join a mission-driven finance team, responsible for helping design, build, and scale

the accounting and royalties’ infrastructure that supports a rapidly growing digital music distribution and  fintech platform.

Rather than stepping into a static accounting function, you’ll help bring efficiency to accounting systems, integrate royalties and financial reporting, and ensure our systems can support complex deal structures, advances, revenue sharing, and multi-party royalty flows across a global client base of 10,000+ artists, labels, and rights holders.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys ambiguity, questions the status quo, and thinks in terms of systems, automation, and scalable process design - not just debits and credits. You’ll collaborate closely with finance, royalties, product, new business, and underwriting teams to ensure financial accuracy while supporting innovation in how money moves through the music ecosystem.

What You’ll Do:

• Serve as a core architect in building and scaling our accounting, royalties, and financial operations infrastructure
• Own and execute monthly, quarterly, and annual close, including:
  • Journal entries
  • Account reconciliations
  • Vendor and client level analysis
  • Issue identification and resolution
• Account for complex music industry deal structures, including:
  • Distribution agreements
  • Revenue splits
  • Artist advances and recoupment
  • Multi-party royalty arrangements
• Partner with royalties and distribution teams to ensure accurate accounting for activity across 10,000+ clients
• Translate high-level deal terms and contracts into clear, auditable accounting treatment
• Design, document, and continuously improve processes, controls, and workflows as the company scales
• Evaluate data from multiple systems, reconcile inconsistencies, and validate outputs
• Drive automation and tooling improvements across accounting and finance operations
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, New Business, Product, Underwriting, and Operations
• Support ad hoc analyses, budgeting, FP&A, special projects, and strategic initiatives as needed

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 4+ years of accounting or finance experience, including exposure to public-company standards, controls, or reporting, combined with experience building or scaling processes in entrepreneurial, high-growth organizations; familiarity with the music industry is strongly preferred.
• Direct experience in music distribution and royalties, including managing accounting for large client catalogs (10,000+ clients preferred)
• Comfortable diving into complex music contracts and deal structures, turning legal language into scalable accounting and royalty processes.
• High technical fluency with accounting and finance systems such as:
  • Netsuite
  • Bill.com and Expensify
  • Royalties or distribution platforms (a plus)
  • Emerging financial platforms
• Advanced Excel / spreadsheet skills (complex formulas, data analysis, reconciliations at scale)
• Demonstrated experience re-engineering processes and implementing automation
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to deconstruct complex problems into actionable components
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, especially when explaining financial concepts to non-finance partners
• A hands-on, builder mentality, comfortable operating in an evolving environment
• Eligibility to work in the U.S.

Why This Role Is Different

• You’ll help build the accounting function, not just maintain it
• You’ll work at the crossroads of music, fintech, and technology
• You’ll have real influence over systems, tools, and architecture
• You’ll collaborate directly with leadership and cross-functional teams
• Your work will scale alongside thousands of creators and rights holders
