Entertainment

The global influence of the UK entertainment industry can be seen across all of the Arts through the wealth of its internationally renowned UK producers, directors, artists, actors and performers.

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 three 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.
