SUPPORTING TALENTED ENTERTAINMENT ARTISTS
With our roots firmly in the creative world of music and entertainment, we are widely recognised as one of the top UK advisors in our industry and support a roster of musicians, actors, performers, presenters, and influencers, alongside their support networks of managers and talent agencies.
Our entertainment clients are inspiring and diverse. Many of them generate income from multiple sources across different tax jurisdictions, so their finances can be complicated, whilst requiring all-round business management support. From looking after withholding tax and bill payments, to technical advice, we work as part of our clients’ ‘inner sanctum’ management team, trusted and integral to their day-to-day business operations, decision making and strategic direction. It’s a highly personalised service, which puts our clients’ needs at the very centre.
A TRUSTED ADVISOR & FINANCIAL CONFIDANT
We’ve gained unique insights into this fast-paced industry from our clients, over the last 35-years. Whether it’s the impact of work schedules, emerging industry trends, or something more personal, we’re always thinking ahead to help manage cash flow, forecast income and help clients to plan for the future. Above all, we do care about our their personal, as well as professional, success and we’re there to support them through their everyday lifes as well.
We’ve been privileged to work with so many talented entertainment artists, managers and entrepreneurs throughout their careers. From meeting them as newly signed talent and start-up businesses, to celebrating their major achievements, and becoming established names in the industry, it’s incredibly rewarding to see them achieve success from doing what they love.
We think of ourselves as trusted confidants to clients, who can contact us whenever they need for accounting, financial, or personal matters.
