Mastering Your Finances: Basics of Bookkeeping and Accounting for Actors

Track Your Income

Every role, gig, and residual payment counts. Record income from auditions, performances, voice-over work, teaching, and any other source.

Tame Your Expenses

From headshots and travel to training classes and union dues, categorise all acting-related expenses for tax deductions and budgeting purposes.

Organise Your Records

Develop a system to store receipts, invoices, and bank statements and categorise everything.

Embrace Technology

Explore bookkeeping software or apps designed for freelancers or actors to simplify record-keeping.

Demystify Key Terms

Familiarise yourself with basic accounting concepts like profit and loss, assets and liabilities, and cash flow. Understanding these terms empowers informed financial decisions.

Schedule Time for Finances

Dedicate regular time to manage your finances. This prevents last-minute scrambling and ensures accurate records.

Benefits of Bookkeeping for Actors

What Our Clients Say

Ellie Botwood, Bot Inc PR, Branding and Sales Consultancy in Advertising, Film and Art

I’ve had my own business for the past 6 years and I’ve always struggled to keep on top of my accounts and invoices. Creative and Numbers have been imperative in helping me get back on track and taking away a lot of the headache so I can concentrate on what I’m good at. During the Covid-19 crisis, they provided knowledge, insight and advice in what was a really scary and precarious time. Sometimes there’s nothing quite reassuring than hearing it will be OK and we will get it sorted. I’m very grateful I found them when I did!
