Accountants for creatives

Helping you maintain your creative flow

You must be in the zone to produce your most compelling creative work.

Distractions are disruptive, so MJB Avanti takes care of all your numbers and accounting requirements, freeing you up to concentrate on producing fantastic work for your clients.

Being accountants for creatives means we have lots of experience working alongside agencies like yours. We understand the pain points you face and how best to overcome them – a trusted partner for your business.

Creative agency bookkeeping

Keeping your books in order is hard for any business, especially creative agencies. Agency life is fast-paced, with deadlines to meet and pitches to win.

We offer an exceptional cloud-based bookkeeping solution to make life as simple as possible. We are a Platinum Partner of Xero , the leading cloud accounting software. We can train you to keep your Xero account updated with transactions – or we can manage your account for you.

Xero lets you record all inputs and outputs, send invoices, file expenses, and even complete your VAT return because it’s Making Tax Digital compliant. You can see a snapshot of your business finances at any time and run reports to keep your senior team informed.

Just because Xero is on the cloud doesn’t mean you’re alone. You can still meet with us or pick up the phone whenever you need help or advice.

As a busy agency, we’ve also got your back with other essential day-to-day tasks, including:

Payroll and year-end documentation
VAT advice and returns
Pensions, tax and national insurance obligations
Corporation tax/dividends for company directors

We take care of all your company secretarial responsibilities, such as filing your annual returns to Companies House.

Strategic accounts for creatives

We offer exceptional strategic planning and advice that’s invaluable to creative agencies that are scaling up or managing change. It’s like having a Chief Financial Officer on board but without the full-time expense. Our advisory service keeps you on top of your agency’s financial health and helps you understand where you might be in the medium and longer-term. Areas of trusted advice include:

Benchmarking and KPIs (for more efficient processes)
Accurate forecasting and measurement
Pension and tax advice for business leaders and the agency
Management accounts delivered monthly
Business valuations based on profitability.

Finally, we understand that your business is very much about people. When it comes to accounts for creatives, you will find the work and advice from your MJB Avanti to be as personable as it is exceptional. If you would like to find out more or have an exploratory chat, please contact us today.
