Save yourself the overhead costs associated with having a full-time CFO (six-figure salary, payroll taxes, pension, health insurance, workers’ compensation, and desk space). As a trusted financial partner, we are a highly skilled, fully functioning team that can manage all the tasks of an in-house finance department.
We keep a watchful eye on your cash flow, manage your accounts receivable and accounts payable, record and categorize expenses, reconcile bank & credit card activity, prepare artist statements, facilitate payroll, liaise between you and HMRC and Companies House to manage quarterly tax planning, and review your business insurance and workers’ compensation policies to ensure that your coverage is sufficient.
Not only do we ensure that your day-to-day business operations are handled meticulously so that the business can run smoothly and efficiently, but we also provide top-level financial analysis. We keep your records up to date and accurate so that each month we can prepare management reports for your review (P&L, cash flow, balance sheets), enabling you to evaluate trends in your business performance and set goals for the company. If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to contact us.
