Bookkeeping for Musicians & Recording Artists
Your income comes from everywhere - touring, streaming, publishing, sync, merch. We pull it all together in QuickBooks Online so every stream is tracked, your expenses are captured, and your books stay ready for your CPA - without paying business-management-firm prices. Remote and nationwide.
What We Handle
- Tracking multiple income streams - live performance and touring, streaming and mechanical royalties, publishing, sync licensing, merch, and sponsorships
- Touring income and expenses - travel, lodging, per diems, and band/crew pay - so you can see whether a run was profitable
- Royalty and publishing income organized by source (distributor, PRO, label, publisher)
- 1099s for band members, session musicians, crew, and other contractors
- Merch sales and sales-tax tracking
- Separating personal and business, including loan-out or LLC tracking
- Monthly reconciliations and clear reports
Common Challenges We Fix
- Income scattered across distributors, PROs, platforms, and tour settlements
- Tour expenses that were never tracked, so profitability is a guess
- Messy books from running everything through a personal account
We turn statements from every platform, PRO, and tour into clean, reconciled books - so your CPA has what they need and you can see how the music business is really doing.
These are some of the industries we serve - don't see yours? Let's talk.
