Specialized services for the entertainment industry

Our professionals bring the full strength of industry-leading audit, accounting, tax, and advisory services to entertainment industry clients. We also provide a wide range of private client services to manage personal wealth and help build multi-generational legacies. For Entertainment practice clients we also provide:

When you require it, we will manage household staffs along with their payroll and benefits. In addition, we provide extensive cash management and bill payment services.
Entertainment personalities and production companies must carefully manage the risks they take on — financially, personally, and with regard to their “brand” reputation. We evaluate current coverage, identify cost saving possibilities, and make recommendations to fill gaps in coverage.
Managing significant personal wealth requires planning and strategy. We work with many high-net-worth individuals and family offices, assisting them with trust and estate planning, asset management and investment monitoring, succession planning, real estate consulting, and philanthropic planning and execution.
When you are pursuing a venture, we are experts on the tax incentives and credits that states and localities offer to attract production and distribution companies — and the requirements to meet them. We help you leverage production and other tax credits to help you offset the high costs associated with location filming and other production activities.
