accounting

Whether you’re just starting out or running a global operation, we know that good accounting is the backbone of good business. Our team takes care of everything from the day-to-day numbers to the big-picture financials, always making sure you’re compliant, confident, and in control.

We work with clients across all creative industries and all stages of growth. We offer bespoke services such as bookkeeping, accounts preparation, VAT returns, payroll and company secretarial services. We also slot in as trusted partners, complementing in-house teams with our expertise and insights. We’ll provide you the reports and analysis you need to make fast, informed decisions, and we’ll be here for the long haul as your business grows and evolves.

Bookkeeping isn’t just about data entry; it’s about staying ahead. That’s why we use intuitive cloud-based systems to give you real-time access to your numbers. It means less admin for you, more clarity for your team, and more time to focus on what you do best.

Our team understands that no two tax situations are the same, and that’s why we take a personal, tailored approach to everything we do. Whether it’s your self-assessment, capital gains, or corporation tax, we’re here to ensure you’re not only fully compliant but also making smart, informed decisions. We’ll handle all the preparation and submissions for you, keeping an eye on every deadline and advising you on what’s due and when.

We’ll take care of any HMRC correspondence or queries directly, so you don’t have to. Should an enquiry come through, we’ve got you from preparing responses, to navigating the process, we’ll guide and support you every step of the way. We also offer fee protection insurance, so the fee of dealing with a tax enquiry doesn’t land on your shoulders.

We don’t just tick boxes; we help you plan ahead. Whether you’re looking at income tax, inheritance tax, trusts, estates, capital gains, offshore considerations, or the end of the remittance basis and the temporary repatriation facility and new foreign income and gains regime, we’ll work with you to build a strategy that protects your wealth now and into the future. We also work across borders, thanks to strong relationships with international partners who can support your global reporting and filing requirements.

Our payroll team is on hand too, making sure your people are paid properly and on time. We take care of everything payslips, submissions, year-end reports, P11Ds, maternity and paternity pay, benefits, and more.

royalty services​

Royalties are complex, but we make them work for you. Our team has extensive, specialist knowledge of the music and entertainment industries, and we’re here to make sure your royalties are accounted for, collected, and working as hard as they should be.

We run royalty audits that give you confidence and clarity, challenging underreporting, resolving outdated contractual clauses, and uncovering income that might overwise go unclaimed. We guide you through the entire process, from raising your concerns with a label to negotiating settlement terms.

Valuing a catalogue, buying or selling rights, registering with societies, we do all of it. Whether you’re a rights holder, investor, or self-releasing artist, we can help you establish fair values, complete due diligence, and make the right moves with confidence. Our team has longstanding relationships with PPL, PRS, and, MCPS and can handle every part of the registration and licensing process on your behalf.

And when it comes to reporting, whether it’s to producers, featured vocalists, or partners, we’ve got that covered too. We bring experience, accuracy, and transparency to the table, and we’re always just a call away when you need advice on anything royalty-related.

business management

Business Management

At OJK, we’re more than accountants, we’re business partners. We work closely with clients to take the weight off their shoulders and help them build something lasting. That might mean overseeing the financial side of a growing artist, supporting contract negotiations, or helping to structure a business for long-haul success.

We understand the pressures of managing a career in music and other creative industries, where personal and professional often blur. Our team can handle everything from budgeting and cash flow to invoice management, banking, and business planning. We’ll help you stay on top of your obligations, get the most out of your earnings, and create a structure that fits your goals, whether you’re just starting out or running an established brand.

This isn’t about managing the numbers. It’s about building a future, and we’re here to help you do just that.

Tour accounting

Tour Accounting

Touring is fast-paced, global, and full of moving parts, and our team is right there with you. We’ve spent years working alongside tour managers, agents, promoters, and production teams to make sure the financial side of your tour runs just as smoothly as the show.

From advising on budgets and projecting cash flow to reviewing performance contracts and managing final tour accounts, we take care of the entire tour lifecycle. If you need to secure tour support from a label, we’ll prepare the numbers to make your case. If you’re crossing borders, we’ll handle the overseas withholding tax issues and make the necessary applications with the Foreign Entertainers Unit (FEU) to mitigate UK tax on performance income.

We make sure that you have complete visibility on your income and expenses at every stage. Our experience spans territories, currencies, and contract types, and we’re trusted by some of the most respected names in the business.
