Job description

X&BM is the business-management arm of X& and the highest-frequency relationship in the house. Its clients are entertainers, athletes, founders, and cultural figures whose financial lives span multiple entities, income streams, jurisdictions, and advisors. X&BM runs their entire financial operation: accounting, bill pay, cash management, payroll, royalty administration, insurance, and tax. Every engagement runs on X&'s own AI-native platform, which means the team spends its time on judgment and client relationships rather than on data entry and reconciliation.

Role Description

The Account Executive is the day-to-day financial operator for a book of X&BM clients. This is a full-time, on-site role in Los Angeles, reporting to a Business Manager and working directly with clients, their teams, and the firm's tax, royalty, and insurance specialists.

The Account Executive is the person a client calls first. That means:

• Running the client's financial life. Owning cash management, bill pay, payroll, and vendor relationships across every entity in the client's structure: personal accounts, loan-out corporations, touring and production entities, and household staff.
• Cash flow and budgets. Building and maintaining each client's cash-flow forecast and budget, tracking actuals against plan, and flagging problems before they become problems. Preparing tour budgets and settlements, project budgets, and per-event reconciliations when the client's work demands it.
• Books and reporting. Overseeing the accounting for each client's entities, reviewing the monthly close, and delivering clear financial reports the client and their advisors can act on. The platform does the entry and reconciliation. The Account Executive reviews, explains, and decides.
• Income tracking. Monitoring contracted income against receipts: advances, royalties, endorsements, appearance fees, salary, and investment distributions. Chasing what is late and coordinating with the royalty team on what is missing.
• The client's team. Working daily with agents, managers, attorneys, publicists, tour managers, and family offices. Coordinating with X&BM's tax, insurance, and royalty specialists so the client sees one firm, not five departments.
• Major transactions and life events. Supporting the Business Manager on property purchases, deal closings, entity formation, financing, and estate matters. Assembling the numbers, running the logistics, and making sure nothing falls between advisors.
• Discretion. Handling the financial details of public figures with complete confidentiality, every day, without exception.

The Account Executive grows into a Business Manager role by demonstrating judgment on the accounts they run.

Qualifications

• Three or more years in business management, family-office accounting, or a client-facing accounting role serving high-net-worth individuals. Entertainment or sports experience is strongly preferred.
• Working command of bookkeeping and accounting: general ledger, accounts payable, bank reconciliations, payroll, and the monthly close. Ability to read and explain a financial statement.
• Experience with cash-flow forecasting and budgeting for individuals with irregular income.
• Familiarity with loan-out corporations, tour and production accounting, royalty and commission income, and multi-entity client structures.
• A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field. CPA or progress toward it is a plus.
• Fluency in modern financial software and a willingness to work inside an AI-native platform rather than a spreadsheet. Comfort learning new tools quickly.
• Exceptional organization and follow-through. The role runs on deadlines, details, and a calendar that never slips.
• Clear, warm, direct communication with clients and their teams, in writing and in person.
• Absolute discretion and the highest ethical standards. X&BM's clients are public figures, and confidentiality is non-negotiable.
