Senior Accountant

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn't offer a "Work From Home" option on their job postings so we had to select "Remote". This role requires that you live in the Greater Los Angeles Area for the rare occasion when your physical presence is needed, but you will not be required to commute to an office setting. This is not a hybrid position.

Job DescriptionWe are hiring a Senior Accountant who will serve as an Assistant Business Manager for musicians, songwriters, and music producers. The chosen candidate will play an integral role at Leftbrain.

You will report directly to a Business Manager and take over many client-facing responsibilities, ranging from onboarding clients to managing client relations, inquiries, and emergencies. You will also take over a great deal of accounting and finance related projects. Being a young and fast-growing company, the scope of your work will be quite broad.

Throughout your projects you’ll receive support from a small, yet experienced team with decades of experience in the music industry. This is an opportunity to join an extremely fast-growing firm that is rewriting a business model at its beginning stages and learn first-hand from experts in the industry.

The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, insatiably curious, and specifically wants to work in the music industry. We are not your father’s accounting firm. We are driving the entire industry forward and growing at a pace none of our competition has ever seen. This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor with near limitless upside. We value ability and drive over tenure.

Bonus PackageWe are also offering a training bonus ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on experience, to be paid out at 6-months of employment. All salaried employees also have an annual target bonus of 10%.

Office SettingWe are a purely remote office environment, but the chosen candidate must live in the Greater Los Angeles area as there may be a few times a year where you will need to travel locally as part of your responsibilities.

Company DescriptionLeftbrain is a fast-growing, tech-enabled business management firm revolutionizing the way that musicians (and their teams) manage their finances.

The old model of music business management is broken. We know this because we have lived it. Founded in 2019, we have come together to create a revolutionary new model that allows us to automate and/or streamline necessary but low-value responsibilities in order to free up capacity to put the focus back where it belongs: on the client and their needs.

We are a bottom-up meritocracy. We believe in hiring the smartest people we can, training them on the industry, tools, frameworks, & metrics they need to be effective, and then getting the hell out of their way. When we pair this with an open-door policy to discuss strategy and tactics, we empower our staff to take control of their own careers and reach their professional goals on their own timeline.

While this method of management may not be appropriate for all candidates, the results speak for themselves. Promotions within the firm occur 30% faster than industry standard and our average NPS score, which measures client satisfaction, is 38.5% higher than the industry average.Join our team today!
