    Like the artists we serve and the music they make, our differences make us stronger. This is a place where every talent can belong and build a career.
    We remain committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We know it fosters a culture where you can truly belong, contribute, and grow.

    We encourage applications from people of any age, gender identity, sex or sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, disability, and any other protected characteristic or identity.

    • Produce all data requested by the tax team to ensure corporate tax deadlines, VAT deadlines and payroll tax deadlines (P11D and PSA) are met
    • Support any internal and external audit inquiries
    • Possess strong attention to detail and ensure thoughtful, thorough, error-free deliverables
