Us: A rapidly growing ticket marketplace that is making waves, a huge amount of positive impact and changing the game in the live entertainment space. We're on a mission to become the world’s most trusted live event marketplace.

Mission:
As our Junior Financial Accountant, you will play a vital role in supporting this vision by ensuring the financial health and success of our organisation.  If you’re a junior accountant who is considering making the move into technology and start-ups, then this is the perfect role for you. You’ll be the second fully dedicated finance member of the team and work directly with the Management Accountant, and the rest of the business.


As you learn about tech, marketplaces and the events industry there will be plenty of opportunities outside of monthly deliverables to work on and support the team with ad-hoc projects such as software implementations, commercial tenders, forecasting, foreign establishments and capital-raising.

The Gig:

  • Perform variance analysis to compare actual results with the budget and forecasts

  • Assist with the preparation of Board packs

  • Taking ownership of the month-end close, including preparing journals and supporting work papers

  • Handle bookkeeping tasks,  including daily bank reconciliations in Xero and management of accounts payable and receivable.

  • Ensure timely submission of BAS, payroll tax and other statutory tax payments in Australia and the UK

  • Oversee cash flow management across multiple currencies and countries

  • Assist with year-end tax reporting, including coordinating with external advisors across various countries

  • Assist with financial forecasting to support strategic planning

  • Drive process improvements to streamline and automate the financial accounting function as the business grows

  • Maintain basic tax compliance, ensuring adherence to local and international tax laws and regulations

  • Collaborate with local operations teams to track and report financial obligations and transactions with events and ticketing companies

 

Skills and Experience:

  • Have at least 1 year of accounting experience

  • Working towards CA/CPA would be highly regarded 

  • A proactive attitude; self-motivated with the ability to work both autonomously within an unsupervised environment, and cohesively within a tight-knit team

  • Well-organised with the ability to manage workflow effectively to meet varying deadlines and productivity targets

  • Comfortable using Excel for financial modeling and analysis

  • A keen eye for detail and excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Experience working with accounting software and basic tax compliance would be highly regarded

Why you'll love it here...

  • You'll be a part of a fast-paced, high-energy team aligned with the love of music and live events

  • We work hard, but we have fun. Otherwise, what's the point?

  • You will have true ownership over your area of responsibility, and your input will be pivotal to the company's success. In turn, you'll have a real impact on people and the live events industry

  • We're proud that we have a diverse team, are family-friendly, and have a flexible work environment

  • You’ll get an extra personal day off every month

  • We offer a monthly ticket allowance

  • We will invest in your development and make it our priority to help you achieve your career objectives. You'll have access to a 'level-up’ allowance.
