We specialise in working with people in the media and entertainment industry — whether you’re an actor, camera operator, sound engineer, runner, voiceover artist, or behind-the-scenes freelancer.
We understand that your income might be unpredictable, spread across multiple jobs, or even come from abroad — and that traditional accountants often don’t get how the industry works.

Understand your tax obligations in plain English — no jargon, no lectures
-
Stay compliant with HMRC self-assessment deadlines
-
Handle expenses, allowable costs, and travel deductions specific to creative work
-
Work out the best structure for your work: sole trader vs. limited company
-
Track earnings across PAYE and self-employed income
-
Plan ahead so you’re not hit with unexpected tax bills
Many of our clients work in TV, film, theatre, voiceover, and production — so we know the lingo, the contracts, and the quirks. We’re here to make tax feel manageable, even if you’ve never done a return before.

We’re based in Sheen, South West London, but work with clients across the UK — especially within the film and TV industry. As a specialist accountancy firm for media and entertainment, we support everyone from local freelancers to nationwide production companies.
Yes. We offer a free discussion to understand your situation and explain how we work — no pressure, no cost.
Trusts, Estates, and Property
Your Assets and Legacy in Order
Trusts are primarily used to protect family wealth, offering an excellent way to ensure inheritance is managed properly during your lifetime and after. Whether you’re a trustee or beneficiary of a discretionary or ‘interest in possession’ trust, we have the expertise to assist with accounts, tax returns, and tax planning. We also provide specialist advice on inheritance tax.
Trustees often wonder how much income they can distribute to beneficiaries without triggering additional tax charges. We guide you through this, ensuring the right balance is struck. For beneficiaries, especially those under 18, we help claim any tax refunds they may be entitled to.
When it comes to property, many of our clients own property in addition to their main home. If this applies to you - as a single buy-to-let, holiday cottage, or you’re an active property developer or investor - we can assist with accounts, tax returns, and planning.
Property tax can be tricky, but we’ve been there, done that, and guided many successful property investors through it. In tough times, we know how to make the most of any losses to secure the best possible tax outcomes.
