Creative Services

At Sutcliffe Graham + Co, we work with creatives across a range of art forms, including Photographers, Writers, Graphic Designers, Marketing and Advertising, Public Relations, Websites, Artists and Composers.

Accounting for creatives can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. We can assist you in using the right accounting systems and give strategic advice at any stage of your business. We’ve helped our clients through it all – from the decision to branch out on their own, to scaling up, and beyond.

One of the biggest challenges of the creative industry is your own clients not understanding the creative process, and time and budget blowouts.

Good communication and an internal accounting systems can help you with this, through:

• Sending detailed estimates and quotes
• Getting reimbursed for expenses
• Staying on top of cash flow
• Seeing which clients provide the best profit
• Simplify reporting and payroll

In addition to reducing accounting and administrative tasks, we believe it’s important to spend time working on your business not in it. Taking time out to discuss what is happening in your business, setting targets and measuring your performance results.
