Accountants for Creatives

Working with clients in and around the entertainment industry, ICS Accounting recognises the need for experienced accountants among creatives. Whether you’re a writer, artist, a musician or a content creator, you have to keep track of your business’ financials, trace your tax liability, and make sure you’re in compliance with all relevant regulations.

That really is a second job – and most creatives work longer days than average even before that! That’s one reason we’ve had so many clients who work in creative fields; it lets you focus on what you do best and keep that flow going, without having to stop regularly to double-check what’s happening around you.

Another important factor for some is our amazing £400 cashback offer! While it’s hardly the only reason to choose us, we’ve found it makes getting started with us smooth and painless (especially as we’re happy to liaise with any previous accountants you may have worked with to get their details).

Experienced Accountants for Creators

Keeping track of invoices, expenses, and even payroll (if you have contractors of employees working for you) doesn’t just take time, it also requires attention to detail and focus. And, like much of your output probably will, it has to be delivered ahead of clearly marked deadlines without any give in them.

We’ll make sure you always know when documents are due, whether it’s Corporation Tax, VAT, or tax returns, and we’ll make it easy for you to keep all your business finances in one place for better oversight and decision making.
