Finance & Accounting Manager

About the Role

Too Lost is a music and technology company providing SaaS solutions for independent music rights holders. Our distribution and publishing services deliver, monetize, and protect songs globally for over 450,000+ musicians, record labels, studios, brands, investors, and platforms.

We have reached a stage of growth where our financial complexity—driven by global royalties, technology fees, and high-volume transactions—requires a dedicated technical expert comfortable managing the full accounting cycle. In this role, you will be the primary person responsible for our day-to-day accounting operations while helping us stand up our formal FP&A function. You aren’t just overseeing the books; you are actively preparing them. This is a role for a technical accountant who wants to move beyond "just the numbers" to help us forecast our future and build the systems that will support our next phase of growth.

• Shape the team and its future direction
• Work across functions and levels, directly impacting the company’s trajectory
• Grow as the team grows: be positioned for advancement as new hires join under your leadership
• Flexibility: no two days are the same; you’ll have broad scope and influence

This is a hybrid full-time position based in our New York, NY office. Our hybrid schedule requires employees to work from the office 4 days a week and allows for 1 day of work from home.

Responsibilities

• Own the month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, including preparing journal entries, performing reconciliations, and ensuring our financial statements are accurate and delivered on time
• Lead our most complex accounting areas, specifically Revenue Recognition across our distribution and royalty streams
• Clean up the Chart of Accounts and troubleshoot NetSuite sync errors
• Maintain the tax calendar and prepare documentation for annual 1099 filings
• Manage and optimize our Ramp pipeline, ensuring correct department coding for all vendor invoices and expenses
• Ensure compliance with GAAP as our transaction volume scales
• Assist the Head of Finance in investigating budget-to-actual variances and building our first formal forecasting models and departmental budgets
• Identify manual workflows and implement automations, systems, or policies to make our accounting and finance function more efficient and transparent
• Work across all teams to help them understand their spending and the financial impact of their projects, translating accounting data into clear, actionable advice
• Maintain rigorous documentation and internal controls to ensure we remain "audit-ready" at all times

Requirements

• 5+ years of accounting experience, including at least 2 years in public accounting, and hold a CPA
• Experience with SaaS, royalties, or digital media is a significant plus
• Thrive in a lean, two-person environment without rigid structure; view a blank canvas as an opportunity to build
• Strong handle on technical revenue accounting and enjoy setting up and optimizing tools
• Experience with NetSuite or similar ERPs; enjoy troubleshooting system glitches or reconciliation issues
• Take pride in perfect reconciliations and clean audit trails
• Energized by high-level strategic growth but equally comfortable with day-to-day execution (e.g., invoice coding, reconciliations)
• Ability to translate complex accounting principles into plain, approachable language for non-finance audiences

Benefits

• Insurance: Health coverage via Anthem, plus Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
• Wellness Packages: Up to $100/month toward gym memberships and wellness opportunities
