Expert knowledge that stands out from the crowd
Our location in Soho, 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, post-production, actors, directors, producers and cameramen.
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 – or failing to do so.
A reliable accounting framework which provides prompt and accurate information together with an independent financial appraisal can be a huge benefit. We are familiar with the latest accounting software (including Cloud Based Accounting Solutions) and are able to advise our clients on the suitability of each system for the individual business - there is no one accounting solution suitable for everybody!

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.
For businesses who have an established financial control function, we are able to assist with growth, be it organic or with outside funding, via our contacts with media experienced financiers. We can assist with loan applications, business forecasts and diversification.
