Stem is a music company and distribution partner built to support artists and labels beyond the traditional model. Operating as a highly curated, bespoke partner, Stem provides the infrastructure, expertise, and hands-on execution needed to bring each artist’s unique creative vision to life while preserving autonomy and ownership. Guided by the music first, Stem pairs deep industry knowledge with data-driven tools and flexible, competitive advances—using data to inform strategy and execution. With a seamless, artist-friendly platform, Stem enables artists and teams to easily track performance, manage splits, and pay collaborators. With a proven track record of supporting artists and labels including deadAir, Scenic Route, PMR/Big Family, BOOM Records, and artists such as Brent Faiyaz, Meek Mill, and Julia Michaels, Stem is redefining what a modern music partner can be. Position Purpose: This role sits at the intersection of accounting, finance, technology, and music distribution. You will join a mission-driven finance team, responsible for helping design, build, and scale the accounting and royalties’ infrastructure that supports a rapidly growing digital music distribution and fintech platform. Rather than stepping into a static accounting function, you’ll help bring efficiency to accounting systems, integrate royalties and financial reporting, and ensure our systems can support complex deal structures, advances, revenue sharing, and multi-party royalty flows across a global client base of 10,000+ artists, labels, and rights holders. We’re looking for someone who enjoys ambiguity, questions the status quo, and thinks in terms of systems, automation, and scalable process design - not just debits and credits. You’ll collaborate closely with finance, royalties, product, new business, and underwriting teams to ensure financial accuracy while supporting innovation in how money moves through the music ecosystem.
