Adding up Creativity with Precision
In the ever-evolving, competitive creative industries, it is vital that accounting services are tailored to meet the needs of creative businesses, adapting as they adapt.
We work with an array of creative clients— from sole traders and freelancers to limited companies.
For these businesses, we have provided not just pure accounts, but growth plans for continuous success and profit.
As a creative opting for Gow and Partners, you’ll receive a highly attentive, personal service. And your accounts manager will get to know you and the ins and outs of your business operation, taking the time to understand your wants as well as your needs.
We are only ever a phone call away, and will always be happy to support you with any query or concern, no matter how small.
Decoding Business for Creatives
We have found that creatives are often unsure as to whether they should set up as an individual, partnership or limited company.
We can assess your business model and determine which bracket will serve you best, ensuring that you are structured in the most tax efficient way possible.
We also offer tailored management support, cashflow forecasting and budgets, as well as ensuring that you are claiming for all viable business expenses.
All of this is designed to turn you hard-earned money into long-term wealth. Check out our blog post on Growing Owners Wealth (GOW) for more information.
