Creative Industries

Our location in Sydney CBD, combined with the experience and contacts of our partners, means we are able to offer specialist knowledge and advice to a wide range of clients in the media sector, including advertising, graphic design, production, creators, actors, and directors.

Build a Platform for Creative Success

A reliable accounting framework which provides prompt and accurate information together with an independent financial appraisal can be a huge benefit.

We can support your business by providing not only regular management information but also detailed forecasts in a manner understood and accepted by banks. Accurate and up-to-date information presented in a clear and intelligible form can often make the difference between obtaining additional funds required for the business.

We are also able to act on behalf of production companies to evaluate and advise on commercial propositions put forward by others, so that all the financial and taxation implications are properly considered before important decisions are made.
