- Expert in excel / powerpoint (and G Suite equivalent). Familiarity with planning tools and reporting systems (e.g., QBO / NetSuite, Looker, Tableau)
- Comfort working cross-functionally and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What the job involves
- As the FP&A Lead, you’ll be the first dedicated hire focused on financial planning and analysis. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll help establish the planning infrastructure that powers business decisions and investor insights. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role that spans across budgeting, forecasting, KPI development, cash flow analytics, and strategic modeling—supporting both internal operations and external reporting
- You’ll be a key thought partner to the Head of Finance and work closely with teams across capital markets, accounting, sourcing, legal, marketing, and data. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, proactive, and detail-oriented, with a passion for creating clarity from complexity. They thrive in fast-moving environments, enjoy building from scratch, and can communicate financial insights with precision and confidence to both finance and non-finance stakeholders
- Partner with the Head of Finance to build the FP&A function from the ground up, including planning cycles, reporting cadences, and tools
- Develop and maintain the company’s financial model, supporting annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and long-term strategic planning
- Own monthly reporting to internal and external stakeholders, including variance analysis and performance insights across revenue, cost, and cash flows
- Analyze performance and cohort analyses of music rights assets—partnering with the data, sourcing, and royalties teams to understand acquisition returns and portfolio trends
- Collaborate on investor materials and board-level financial presentations
- Build KPIs, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses to drive operational and strategic decision-making
- Support process automation and improvements in reporting, cash flow visibility, and internal controls
- Provide analytical support for ad hoc special projects, including revenue yield enhancement, financing strategies, and international expansion
Our take
The independent music market has been on a steady rise for a number of years now, but it can still be incredibly difficult for indie artists to monetize their work. Step in Duetti, a company supplying a way for smaller artists to sell their catalogs, individual tracks, or even parts of tracks - an opportunity traditionally reserved for A-list artists.
The idea behind the platform is simple, with Duetti supplying cash payment in return for as many masters as an artist would like to sell. Already serving upwards of 250 artists, and with substantial funding to boot, it has plans to accelerate the growth of its catalog acquisitions as well as develop its prediction and analytics technology to enhance the artist experience.
