Finance Assistant | International Entertainment Start-Up | Central London
Harmonic are delighted to be working with a rapidly growing business in the creative industries who are looking to recruit a Finance Assistant.
The company partners with some of the most exciting names in the entertainment and creative sector, delivering innovative projects across multiple formats. Their work spans high-profile productions and live experiences, working alongside household-name brands, celebrities and entertainment giants. Following a successful recent fundraise, the business is entering its next stage of growth, investing heavily in its infrastructure and finance capabilities to support expansion.
The culture is collaborative, ambitious, and values-driven-an environment where finance is seen as a commercial partner to the wider business rather than a back-office function.
The Role
This Finance Assistant position sits within the finance team of a fast-growing immersive entertainment business with a turnover exceeding £10m. You will provide high-quality transactional accounting support across purchase ledger, revenue reconciliation, licensing, and month-end close, working closely with the Finance Manager and Finance Director.
The business operates at the intersection of a high-volume visitor attraction and a global production house, with financial records spanning local ticket sales, corporate event income, and international licensing royalties. You will play a key role in ensuring those records are accurate, organised, and up to date.
This is a well-suited role for someone early in their accounting career who is detail-oriented, comfortable with high-volume transactional work, and keen to develop and progress within a creative and fast-paced environment.
