• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 5+ years of accounting or finance experience within sports, live events, entertainment, or production environments.
• Proven experience developing and reconciling event budgets from pre-production through final settlement.
• Strong understanding of revenue recognition, accrual accounting, and cost tracking in ticketed event environments.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with accounting/ERP systems.
