In an increasingly complex digital and financially regulated world, we’re here to provide our expertise across a range of tailored business services, so you can focus on what you love.

We work with a wide range of businesses, from start-ups, SMEs and entrepreneurs to high profile individuals with packed schedules and complex needs.

With over 30 years in the music, entertainment and sport industry, we’ve managed everything from pre-touring budgets for global jetsetters, to tax and M&As.

You’ll benefit from our team’s decades of experience working with individuals and businesses in music, film, television, theatre, sport, athletics, books, publishing, art, photography, radio, public relations and advertising.

Whether you need strategic business advice, expert tax planning or trusted support managing your finances, we can help.

We work with clients whose careers often involve unpredictable income streams, helping them build financial security through careful planning and sound advice.

Our specialist team provides responsive, practical support across music, sport, media and entertainment, covering everything from contracts and tour accounting to VAT and wider financial matters.

Tim Gazzard, who leads accounts across sport, media and entertainment has helped establish a number of highly successful startup ventures. He’s not only an experienced accountant, but was also a CFO of a digital intelligence business.

Marc Harris and Luke Ogbourn discuss why looking after your finances should be part of planning for a career in professional sport, not something left until later.

Sporting careers can be short, and earnings can change significantly once they come to an end. Marc explains why it pays to think ahead while you’re earning, regularly review your finances and have the right people around you, from tax advisers and financial planners to wealth managers, agents and your wider management team.

You don’t need to be earning substantial amounts before you start. Putting good financial habits in place early can make a real difference, helping you make the most of your career now while preparing for whatever comes next.

It was a pleasure to work with Tim and the team over many years to help us manage the financials for both our independent label and myself as a producer. Friendly, efficient, clear and very good communication – highly recommended!
