What We Offer

Accounting built for how entertainment businesses actually work

General accounting firms handle entertainment clients as one category among many. The result is often reporting structures that don't account for production cycles, residual schedules, or the way revenue recognition works across different deal types.

Our three services address the accounting needs that come up most consistently in media and entertainment — monthly financial management, royalty and residual tracking, and production budget reporting. Each can be engaged independently or in combination.

How They Work Together

Independent or combined — whichever fits

Each service is structured to stand on its own. A rights holder who needs royalty tracking but already has a bookkeeper doesn't need to take the full accounting retainer. A production company that handles its own royalties can engage just for production cost reporting.

When multiple services are engaged together, there's natural continuity — the same understanding of how your business works carries across all three areas, reducing the back-and-forth that happens when different functions are handled by different parties who don't share context.

Common combinations

Accounting + Royalty Tracking — for production entities that also manage rights and receive ongoing distribution income.

Accounting + Production Reporting — for companies in active production who want both ongoing financials and project-level cost oversight.

All three services — for full-scope entertainment accounting with one team managing monthly books, royalties, and production financials in a coordinated way.

Pricing note

Prices shown are starting figures. Exact scope and fee are determined during an initial scoping conversation based on the size and complexity of your engagement. No surprises after that conversation.

What to Expect

How a new engagement starts

01

Initial conversation

We discuss what you're managing, what's working, and where accounting is creating friction. No obligation, no pitch — just a practical conversation.

02

Scope agreement

Based on what came up in that first call, we propose a scope and fixed fee. If the scope needs adjusting, that happens before we start — not after.

03

Engagement mapping

We spend the opening weeks understanding how you actually work — systems, workflows, reporting cadence — before structuring deliverables around them.

04

Ongoing work begins

Deliverables follow the agreed schedule. Any changes to scope or circumstances are communicated before they affect the work or the fee.
