SalaryDescription
MPLC is the market leader in non-theatrical licensing. We are on a mission to enable companies to use world-class film and television entertainment while supporting the creative industries and protecting their intellectual property.
At its simplest, companies around the world use TV and films to help their business. Whether it is gyms trying to create a great environment for their customers or employers making their staff/break rooms a better place to be, hundreds of thousands of companies are showing content in public spaces.
Great content can only be made if creators are paid fairly for what they produce. So we provide a simple, affordable license to businesses. We then pay royalties from our license to our rights holders; from major Hollywood studios to local TV production companies.
Without MPLC, these performances would still occur. But they would infringe copyrights and deprive our rightsholders' of the money they are entitled to. Our license enables customers to run their businesses compliantly and with peace of mind.
We work hard to educate organisations about the importance of respecting copyright, and MPLC is a key player in the entertainment and intellectual property ecosystem.
We are now looking to grow our Accounting Team to support out territories greater.
What's the situation?
This is a varied Management Accounting role with full reporting responsibility for a number of territories and provide support to Jonathan and the Finance Team with monthly tasks and standalone projects.
Accounting & Financial Management
Financial management of a number of entities within the group supporting the following:
- Month-end close
- Balance sheet reconciliations
- Quarterly forecasting
Preparation of relevant annual audit schedules and analysis for the Group as per auditor requirements and as directed by line management.

Lets try and put you off!
