About The Position

Adeptus Advisors Group, LLC, a growing full-service CPA and Business Management firm with offices in New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, Maryland, White Plains, and California, is seeking a Manager to support our Los Angeles Business Management practice. We are a tight-knit team that specializes in music business management, with a clientele consisting mainly of touring artists, producers, songwriters, and independent labels.
This role is ideal for a seasoned financial professional with extensive experience supporting clients such as touring musicians, music producers, songwriters, and other creative talent. The ideal candidate brings both strategic oversight and hands-on accounting skills, with a client-service mindset and deep industry knowledge.

This role requires tax experience and, critically, direct experience working within the music/touring industry. The Manager acts as the central point of coordination — tracking financial activity, supervising associates, managing client relationships, and serving as the primary liaison between the tax team and clients.
This is a high-visibility, high-responsibility role suited to a proactive, detail-oriented professional who can manage competing priorities, exercise sound financial judgment, and communicate effectively with clients, their teams, and internal staff.
