Accounts Assistant - Entertainment & Touring

About Pace LivePace Live is an Australian based global entertainment company that develops, produces, promotes, and tours premium theatrical productions. Our work spans financing, development, creative and technical production, tour scheduling, marketing, and facilitation, delivered through a complete end to end model.
Supported by growing global infrastructure and trusted relationships with theatres, promoters, and industry partners across key international markets, we don't just create our productions. We tour them, book the venues, promote the seasons, and present them directly to audiences around the world.
Our productions have reached audiences across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, the United States (including New York's Off Broadway), and the United Kingdom (including London's West End), and our global touring footprint continues to expand.
About the RoleWe're hiring an Accounts Assistant to join our finance team on the Gold Coast.This is a hands on processing role. You'll be the person keeping the day to day accounts moving across a business that runs more than two hundred shows a year in five countries. Coding, receipts, invoices, reconciliation, and keeping everything accurate and current.
You'll report to the Senior Finance Team, Producers and work alongside our Accounts Administrator. The work is high volume and detail driven. Accuracy matters more than speed here, because a miscoded transaction in one country becomes a problem in three.
This suits someone with a couple of years of accounts experience who wants exposure to a genuinely international finance function rather than one company's ledger. There's room to grow as the business does, and if you're studying towards CA or CPA we'll support it.
