Royalty Accountant, Music SME, London/Hybrid

Royalty Accountant | Scaling Music Business | London/Hybrid

Harmonic are delighted to be working with a rapidly growing Music business who are looking to recruit a Royalty Accountant.

The business has become a household name within the industry, associated with some of the world's biggest and most successful musicians, yet they still maintain high-growth ambitions. This presents a fantastic opportunity to work in a dynamic, non-corporate environment at a business that highly values professional development and shares a passion for music and the creative industry.

The Role

Reporting into a talented VP of Revenue Assurance, this Royalty Accountant will play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of royalty revenue reporting. You'll work closely with colleagues across data, investment, and rights management to support internal reporting and royalty income validation- contributing directly to the financial health and performance of the company.

Your day-to-day will involve reviewing third-party royalty statements, analysing data sets for accuracy, and preparing key reporting inputs to support internal stakeholders and senior management.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves working with numbers and music in equal measure. The right person will be highly organised, with a sharp eye for detail, great communication skills, and the ability to manage large volumes of data in a fast-moving environment. If you've had prior exposure to royalty accounting and want to take that experience further, this role gives you the chance to grow your impact within a leading music investment business.
