The creative economy is a vibrant and growing one. The creative industry as a whole is modern and exciting, one where companies in this sector require bespoke, up to date specialist advice, together with the correct accounting solutions to help them reach their financial goals.

All businesses need good financial controls as well as good financial management. Working with the experienced team of professional and tax accountants at SFB who will help deliver these, thus allowing you to focus on what you do best – delivering the best possible service to your clients. We’re here to help you ensure that these services are delivered as cost-effectively and profitably as possible.

We understand what makes your business tick and where we can help:

  • The crucial area of price and quoting. Getting this right is vital to winning the business you need and also to delivering the profits you want. After all, charging too little may help you win business, but without the profits to make your hard work worthwhile. Our large and small business accounting packages include easy to use software that shows the impact of different pricing strategies to your bottom line.
  • Using the latest technology to get paid efficiently and draw more cash into the business. Cash is still King for all businesses, and we can help with the crucial area of credit control, which is the first step to ensuring there is a strong cash culture in your business. Likewise with your payroll. Our payroll services are state of the art and fully up to date with all legislation, to make sure your staff get paid the right amount, on time, and you don’t face any unforeseen fines from HMRC for non-compliance.
  • The importance of efficiency and how to translate that into happier customers and generate more income. This means the implementation of smart business management software so that you know very quickly the jobs where you are spending too much time or not enough time, and can react in real time to ensure happy clients.
  • Planning the future of the business over the coming periods of change. This includes, as appropriate, succession planning especially in owner managed businesses. It also means working with you to ensure that the tax services that our tax professionals provide ensure that you only pay the tax that is due; quickly reclaim any over-payments and qualify for every tax break that is available to you.

At any stage of your business life cycle, we can also help your creative business with:

  • Starting up and being successful in a competitive industry
  • Government funding, such as Video Game Tax Relief (VGTR) for clients in the gaming industry
  • How to access grants available to you and managing your cashflow forecasts
  • Creating a business plan that understands your target market and choosing the right platforms

The creative world is an ever evolving industry, so it is important to work with a team of modern, forward thinking accountants.
