Accounting for Musicians

When music is your business, your finances deserve to hit the right notes.
At Xeinadin, we specialise in accounting for musicians and music professionals, helping you manage income, reduce tax, and build a financially secure future, no matter how unpredictable the gig schedule.

Accounting for musicians who want to focus on their craft

Being a musician isn’t your average job and that means and your finances aren’t either. From late-night gigs and royalty payments to tours and studio sessions, the financial side of a music career is anything but straightforward. At Xeinadin, we understand the industry inside and out. Whether you’re an independent artist, session player, composer, or managing a music company, our tailored financial advice gives you clarity, confidence and peace of mind so you can stay in tune with your career.

We’ll keep track of your royalties, look after your VAT returns and European VAT reclaims, put together your tax returns and make sure that music pays you properly for all the effort you put in.

We’ve worked with lots of artists, songwriters, composers, record companies, agencies and suppliers over the years, and we still get a kick from seeing them doing well and, most of all, living well.
