The Role

The Event Finance Manager will work across our Accounting, Partner Management and Event Operations teams to develop budgets for individual events, track expected revenue and expenses against plans leading up to the event and complete an accurate and timely financial accounting statement following the completion of the event.

The primary responsibilities of this role will include ownership of the accounting of several events across our partnership portfolio at any given time. In this role you will work to make sure that the financial projections for an event are kept up to date, and you will coordinate communication across various departments to make sure that event-level information is current and distributed to those who have oversight of the events.

At the end of an event, you will generate a post-event profitability report for the accounting department as well as external reporting for event partners where there is a profitability sharing component. In addition, you may be asked to provide financial analysis in support of budgeting, forecasting, cash flow projections and other ad-hoc requests.

This is a terrific opportunity to apply your accounting and finance knowledge in partnership with some of the leading sports and entertainment properties in the world as part of an engaged and motivated team.

The role will be based at our corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC and reports to our Director of Event Finance and Accounting.
