Senior Royalty Accountant

About this role

ABOUT ABSOLUTE MERCH

Absolute Merch is an entertainment merchandising company based in Hollywood, California, serving music artists across wholesale, e-commerce, managed tour, retail, and VIP revenue streams. We run merchandise programs for some of the biggest names in touring music, combining hands-on operational execution with modern financial systems and reporting. As we scale, we're investing in the people, processes, and technology that let us deliver an elite, professionally run merch operation for every artist we work with.

ROLE SUMMARY

This is the senior accounting seat that keeps Absolute Merch's books clean, current, and correct every day. The primary focus is day-to-day accuracy — collections, receivables, the running close, and oversight of the offshore accountant who handles ledger, entries, and AP. Done right, that daily discipline is what makes the quarterly royalty process fast and painless.

Our clients are among the biggest touring artists in the world, and the settlement numbers we report back to them each quarter reflect the trust they place in us. Those statements are only as good as the accounting that feeds them all quarter long — which is where this role earns its keep.

We're in the middle of modernizing the accounting stack — Acumatica plus automation tooling — to take over most of the mechanical lifting. This role oversees that stack: catching where the automations get something wrong, adjusting manually as needed, and keeping everything accurate through the transition. There may be some hands-on manual work in the near term while implementation finishes, but this is no longer a seat that hand-codes the GL all day. It's a seat that owns accuracy and knows when the automated answer is the wrong one.
