Accounting Services
As an artist or band there are lots of choices on how you set-up and manage your business, either as a sole trader, limited liability company or otherwise. We will advise on the right set-up for you, whether you’re just starting out in the industry or are an established brand. We give the clear and structured advice you need as and when you need it and are always available to our clients 24/7.
We offer a comprehensive service to our Entertainment and Music clients in respect of all their day-to-day activities. This covers the full range of personal and company accounting services including bookkeeping, invoicing and filing accounts. This involves reporting and review meetings, raising invoices, managing the business bank account so you are always in control and understand what funds you have available, chasing debts and everything in between.
Let us be the Finance Department for your business. We will look after cash flow and help things run smoothly and efficiently.
We have supported some of the world’s biggest tours as well as small UK tours with new, established and heritage artists. We will work with your management to agree and manage budgets, liaise with agents and promoters to handle payments, produce tour end accounts and register any taxes you need to pay, including withholding tax.
We look to minimise your tax and maximise your income and we work closely with a network of accountants globally to ensure we can obtain advice from most territories our clients perform in.
Royalty Audits & Management
Tour Accounting
Ensuring you are correctly paid for your creative output from record companies, music publishers or other channels, such as YouTube is a complicated business. Our specialist royalty team works to track down incorrectly reported royalty payments so you receive every penny you’re owed.
We can assist with royalty registrations as well as reporting to managers, producers, songwriters and performers so that your team, whether current or previous, are paid correctly. If you decide to sell your back catalogue we can work with you to value your work and will liaise closely with your management and legal team to obtain the best outcome.
Our vast wealth of experience comes from dealing with every aspect of music and includes:
- Negotiating with the Foreign Entertainers Unit
- Pre tour planning
- Carrying out royalty audits
