About the Role
MUSIC·TEAM, part of THE·TEAM, is a leading global agency representing prominent artists across all genres for live performance, touring, brand partnerships, and beyond. We are seeking a Tour Accountant to join our team. This role is primarily responsible for settling the financial aspects of our clients' tours for the agency. Key responsibilities include confirming the accuracy of all settlement details such as compensation, withholding tax, and deductions, and acting as the liaison between agents, clients, and clients’ business managers to ensure timely and accurate tour settlements.

The role involves reviewing settlement details of shows to confirm full artist compensation via funds paid to the agency, artist, or both, processing refunds for cancellations, verifying applicable deductions and withholding tax, assessing The.Team’s liability for non-resident withholding tax, and charging back expenses where applicable. You will prepare and manage tour statements from start to finish, coordinating with agents and artist management to resolve discrepancies and ensure balanced records. Additionally, you will submit statements to clients, collect funds due to The.Team, provide financial analysis for artist advances and loans, and oversee their disbursement and repayment.
