Performing Arts & Touring Accounting
The books that travel with the show.
Clear settlements, tidy income records, and straightforward year-end accounts — wherever the tour takes you.
Talk to us about your booksWhy it matters
Financial clarity shouldn't wait until you're off the road.
Managing income across multiple venues, dates, and income streams is genuinely complex. A settlement at the Barbican looks different from a share agreement in Chicago, and royalty statements from four different sources rarely arrive at the same time.
Encoras brings structure to that complexity — recording each show's income and costs as they happen, tracking what your work earns across sources, and preparing clear accounts that reflect the reality of a creative career.
