Query, clean, and analyze Revenue Operational Reporting datasets across disparate DSPs using Analysis for Office and Gemini AI Tools. Reconcile Multi-System Reporting from Source to Financial Ledger. Bridge consumption metadata (streams, downloads, play counts, tier rates) with transactional general ledger activity to detect anomalies, underreported royalties, missing catalog codes, and system mismatches. Conduct granular month-over-month (MoM) and quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) variance analyses; present variance drivers to label finance leaders. Serve as the RTR business lead for financial systems optimization across SAP (ECC / S/4HANA), BlackLine, and proprietary music revenue sub-ledgers. Design, test, and implement automated reporting simplify manual journal entries and compress the monthly close cycle. Direct the monthly and quarterly close deliverables for recorded music revenue, reviewing high-volume journal entries, complex accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations. Review work products prepared by staff accountants and offshore shared service partners (e.g., Shopify D2C sales tie-outs, DSP settlement matching, clearing account reconciliations), providing structured guidance and establishing standard operating procedures (SOPs). Actively investigate and resolve persistent balances in revenue clearing, suspense, and partner withholding accounts. Maintain and enhance internal control matrices under Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX 404), ensuring proper segregation of duties, automated validation checks, and data lineage documentation. Serve as primary revenue audit liaison for internal and external auditors (e.g., Big 4), providing PBC audit schedules, roll-forwards, sample testing support, and technical accounting memos. Partner proactively with Label Finance VPs/Directors, Commercial Revenue Operations, Business & Legal Affairs, IT/Data Engineering, and Corporate Royalty teams to align accounting treatments with evolving contract structures and deal terms. About you: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related analytical field required. Active CPA license (or international equivalent) strongly preferred. Master’s Degree (MAcc, MBA) or coursework in Financial Data Analytics / Information Systems is a significant plus. 10 to 15+ years of progressive, hands-on accounting experience in Corporate Accounting, Shared Services, or Big 4 Public Accounting. Extensive specialization (7+ years) in high-volume revenue accounting, billing assurance, or royalty accounting within the music, digital entertainment, streaming media, or intellectual property/licensing sectors. Proven track record leading technical ASC 606 revenue recognition implementations or oversight for complex multi-element arrangements. Demonstrable experience directing and reviewing work performed by distributed, hybrid, or offshore delivery centers. Deep experience working with enterprise ERPs (specifically SAP FI/CO, S/4HANA) and automated balance sheet reconciliation tools (such as BlackLine or Cadency). Expert-level Microsoft Excel proficiency (SAP Analysis for Office, Power Query, dynamic arrays, VBA/macros, advanced nested logic). Experience with eCommerce and digital billing platforms (e.g., Shopify, DSP vendor reporting portals) is highly desirable. We’d love it if you also had: Ability to untangle intricate data anomalies and synthesize findings into clear executive summaries. Proactive drive to evaluate status-quo manual workflows and design scalable, automated alternatives. Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the confidence to collaborate across label executives, data engineers, and external auditors.
