• Maintain accurate financial records in Xero; complete reconciliations and ensure compliant documentation
• Review profitability, project performance, and cashflow for tours and live events
• Improve financial systems, reporting tools, and internal workflows to support scalability
• Oversee payroll reviews, VAT and year‑end accounts with external accounting firm
