Creative Division

We appreciate the exacting needs of those working in the fast-paced creative industries. Whether they are music artists, actors, Youtubers, managers, record labels or production companies, our clients are busy people who are often juggling multiple projects.

Many of them have varied and complex interests across the UK, US and internationally so they rely on us for all-round accounting and business management support, together with specialist advice covering withholding taxes, royalties, Creative Industry  Tax Reliefs, and corporate transactions, to name a few. However we are helping, we work as part of their ‘inner sanctum’ teams; trusted and integral to their day-to-day operations, decision-making and strategic direction.

We forge relationships of trust that last for years. We meet, you talk. We listen, we ask. We think and then we act.

We are highly regarded as leading experts on Creative Industry Tax Reliefs (CITR) and have influenced government policy changes in this highly specialist area; most recently with the reforms to audio-visual tax relief and the introduction of the Independent Film Tax Credit (IFTC). As well as early-stage appraisals for CITR claims and advice on setting up productions in the UK, we manage all stages of our clients’ CITR claims with HMRC, ensuring they fulfill all the relevant criteria and have obtained the required British Film Institute (BFI) certification.  We also advise production investment companies on their UK set-ups and provide CITR assessments for financiers and industry bank panels.
