Management Accounts for Creatives
Turn Your Numbers into Insights That Help Your Creativity Thrive
​
You’re great at what you do, whether that’s designing, filming, producing, or performing. But when it comes to understanding your business numbers? That’s often where things get a little foggy.
​
At Creative and Numbers, we make your figures make sense. Our Management Accounts for creatives give you clear, visual insights into your income, costs, and profitability, so you can make smarter decisions, stay organised, and grow with confidence.
​
Because when you understand your numbers, you don’t just survive as a creative business, you thrive.
Because Creativity Deserves Clarity
Many creative businesses wait until year-end to look at their accounts, and by then, it’s too late to make meaningful changes. Regular management accounts keep you one step ahead, turning your financial data into a story you can actually use.
​
Here’s why they matter:
-
See what’s really driving profit or loss
-
Stay on top of cash flow and budgets
-
Track performance across projects or clients
-
Plan for tax and upcoming expenses
-
Make informed business decisions with confidence
Your creativity deserves the same level of structure and insight as your craft.

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
