Entertainment Industry CPA

Entertainment Accountant

What is an Entertainment CPA?

An Entertainment CPA is a Certified Public Accountant who specializes in providing accounting, tax, and financial advisory services specifically for individuals and businesses within the entertainment industry.

Entertainment accountants offer a blend of traditional accounting services combined with industry-specific expertise to meet the unique financial needs and challenges of the entertainment world.

Why Do I Need an Entertainment Accountant?

If you are an entertainment professional, I strongly suggest finding an accountant with substantial entertainment industry experience.

While a traditional accountant might be able to perform the accounting and tax functions for entertainment professionals, there is great value in working with someone with in-depth knowledge of the industry.

The entertainment industry is full of nuance. A CPA that doesn’t have substantial experience in the industry may feel like a fish out of water, which could lead to subpar financial management.

Entertainment-specific topics include:

  1. Entertainment Business Management
  2. Loan-Out Corporations
  3. Film Production Tax Credits
  4. Residuals
  5. Agent & Manager Commissions
  6. Tour Accounting
  7. Multi-State Taxation
  8. Royalty Accounting
  9. Royalty Tax Treatment
  10. Music Catalog Sales – IRC § 1221(b)(3)
