Job Title: Sr. Analyst, Financial A little bit about our team: Warner Music Group's Global Business Services (GBS) is home to the finance operations, legal, and administrative functions that provide critical support and best-in-class services to our global Finance labels and affiliates. Each regional center embodies the collaboration and creative spirit that stems from the company’s deep history in cultivating entrepreneurial thinking and artist-focused innovation, enabling our employees to develop a wide range of skills through cross-function collaboration and development opportunities. Based out of Nashville, our US Participations team is fully remote and committed to supporting all U.S. record labels, and artist & label services divisions. We’re excited to hear from impactful finance and audit professionals who are ready to apply their elite analytical skills to a specialized, high-stakes environment. We are looking for "detective-minded" analysts with a passion for music, who thrive on uncovering the "why" behind the numbers and who possess the commercial acumen to translate complex legal logic into precise financial outputs. Why this could be your next big break: You are a highly autonomous finance professional who takes immense pride in ownership and accountability. You don't just process data; you interrogate it. You thrive in environments where you are expected to be a subject matter expert, serving as a trusted point of contact for both partners across the company, and your peers. This role is perfect for someone coming from a rigorous Audit, Royalty, or Financial Reporting background who is ready to move into a fast-paced, dynamic industry. You’ll be given the space to work independently, but you’ll do so through a lens of deep collaboration—mentoring analysts and acting as a link between financial accounting, royalty operations and our business. If you enjoy the challenge of high-volume data, complex financial calculations, and the satisfaction of delivering accurate insights under tight deadlines, this is your next step. Here you’ll get to: Lead the preparation, analysis and review  of complex participation profit-share and distribution financial statements. You will ensure every output aligns with both unique contractual obligations and rigorous accounting standards.  Prepare fiscal month-end close tasks, including true-ups, reconciliations, and expense accruals. You will act as the link between statement reporting and general ledger accuracy, ensuring financial integrity for the labels you support. Act as the team’s primary “Variance Detective” and quality gatekeeper. You will interrogate the “how” and “why” behind data fluctuations to provide clear narratives for management while reviewing peer statements to ensure the highest standards of precision, audit-readiness, and internal control compliance.
