Our Industries
01Music Accountants
Our teams of music accountants, tax advisors and royalties experts specialise in a range of music industry services. From tour accounting, where we look after budgets and handle tax issues and queries before and after the tour, to our royalties team who provide full registration services for singers, songwriters and producers. We make sure all of our clients are in safe hands no matter the scale of work.
02Entertainment Accountants
In the entertainment industry, we work with a mix of talent. Everyone from actors, presenters and comedians, to writers, directors and production companies. Big screen, small screen or behind the scenes, our services can help you make the most of your income and help you expand your business.
03Sport Accountants
We’ve been working with footballers, rugby players and athletes throughout their careers. Whether that’s coming up from the under 18’s squad, making national or international appearances, or moving off the pitch into coaching or presenting. Our team of accountants will help you look after those various income streams, help you build your businesses, and look after you at every stage of your career.
04Social Media Accountants
While a relatively new aspect of the wider entertainment industry, our accountants for influencers have worked with a range of creators, social media personalities and those in the digital sphere. Some clients have grown their loyal followings over time, or gone viral overnight, but our experts can look after your tax and accounts now, and prepare you for the future.
Our Testimonials
"We have engaged Andy Elms and his colleagues at YMU on behalf of a number of our clients in relation to their audits and royalty work generally over the years with excellent results. Their collaborative approach has helped us achieve very good outcomes for our clients including in a number of cases achieving significant royalty rate and profit share improvements in the longer term too."
