Business Advisory For Creatives
Smart Financial Guidance That Lets You Focus on What You Do Best
​
Running a creative business means juggling a lot more than ideas. Between chasing payments, managing budgets, and trying to understand tax obligations, it’s easy to feel like you’re one admin task away from burnout.
​
At Creative and Numbers, our Advisory Services for creatives are designed to make business decisions simple, confident, and financially sound. Whether you’re an independent filmmaker, design studio, or creative agency, we’ll help you understand your numbers, not drown in them.
​
We translate financial data into practical advice you can actually use, so you can plan smarter, grow faster, and stay creative without the constant money stress.
Because Every Creative Business Needs Direction
Even the most successful creatives hit financial crossroads. Do you invest in equipment? Hire more staff? Form a limited company? Our advisory service helps you answer those questions with clarity and confidence.
​
Here’s why financial advice tailored for creatives matters:
-
Make informed decisions with clear, jargon-free guidance
-
Plan ahead for taxes, cash flow, and growth
-
Understand your profitability by project or client
-
Identify cost-saving opportunities before they slip by
-

It’s not about spreadsheets, it’s about seeing the bigger picture.

Nick Jay
Director
I have over a decade of experience in film directing, acting, and producing, I'm thrilled to say I launched my first company in 2024 called 76 Lucky Street, alongside my two talented partners. Our debut script is a horror feature film, backed by distribution and production partners in London and Los Angeles. I'm grateful for the guidance and support of Creative & Numbers, who've been instrumental in my journey. They have gone above and beyond advising me over the years. I'm excited to further develop our partnership with C&N and continue to bring innovative and original stories to life on screen
