About Us

Accountants who live and breathe the Creative and Arts Industries.

At Creative and Numbers, we’re accountants for creative industries  who understand the world you work in, working with everyone from musicians to film makers to designers and artists.  Trusted by freelancers and small businesses across the UK, we know that creative lives don’t follow “normal” rules and your finances shouldn’t either. From irregular income to project-based work and tax reliefs, we make the numbers simple offering clear practical advice, without the jargon.

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
