What we offer
Three services, each doing one thing well.
Specialist accounting built around how touring income actually works — not adapted from something designed for a different kind of business.
Back to homeBefore you read further
You may need one of these. You may need all three.
Some clients come to Encoras for a single tour's bookkeeping and nothing else. Others want ongoing royalty tracking alongside their year-end accounts. There's no pressure to take on more than you need, and no package that bundles services together for the sake of it.
If you're not sure which applies to your situation, the simplest thing is to get in touch and talk through it. We'll give you an honest view of what would actually be useful.
Service 01
Touring Bookkeeping & Settlements
Tidy bookkeeping that records income and costs by show and venue, with clear settlements for each date. Suited to performers and touring productions that want steady books while on the road.
Each date is settled individually — the venue's share, production costs, and net income recorded together so the picture is complete. You send us what arrives; we keep the ledger current throughout the tour rather than catching up at the end.
What's included
- Per-show income and cost recording
- Venue settlement reconciliation
- Multi-currency handling with tour-date context
- Tour summary at close — income, costs, and net by leg
- Documentation structured for year-end use
Investment
Quoted on scope
Typical range: $600 – $3,000 per tour, depending on dates, venues, and complexity.
Service 02
Royalty & Performance Income Tracking
Careful tracking of performance and royalty income across sources, gathered into clear monthly statements. Designed for artists and ensembles who want an honest overview of what their work earns.
Royalty statements from different organisations rarely arrive at the same time or in the same format. We bring them together, reconcile figures against what was expected, and produce a single clear statement showing what came in, from where, and when.
What's included
- Monthly income statements by source
- Reconciliation of statements against expected income
- Tracking across collecting societies, publishers, and platforms
- Flag of missing or delayed payments
- Annual summary structured for year-end accounts
Investment
$280 / month
A fixed monthly fee — predictable and straightforward, regardless of how many sources are involved.
Service 03
Year-End Accounts & Planning
Preparation of year-end accounts with a calm planning conversation, in plain language suited to a creative career. We take time to explain the figures so the path ahead feels clearer.
Year-end shouldn't feel like handing over a stack of documents and hoping for the best. We prepare the accounts carefully, then sit down — properly — to go through them together. What worked this year, what changed, and what's worth thinking about for the year ahead.
What's included
- Full year-end accounts preparation
- Income and expense summary in plain language
- Dedicated review call — no rushing through
- Notes on what the figures suggest for the year ahead
- Documentation organised for your records and any external requirements
Investment
$640
A single, clear fee for the full year-end service — preparation and the planning conversation included.
Not sure where to start?
A short conversation usually makes it clear.
The right service depends on your specific situation — how many shows you're touring, how many royalty sources you have, whether your year-end accounts are currently being handled at all. There's no one-size answer.
If you send us a brief note about your situation, we'll come back with a straightforward view of what would actually make sense, with no obligation attached.
Get in touchWhy it matters who does this
Accounting for touring is a specific skill, not a generalisation of accounting.
We already know the terrain
Settlement sheets, promoter deals, per-diem arrangements, collecting society statements — these are part of our everyday work, not occasional surprises.
Clear pricing, no surprises
All three services have straightforward pricing — either a fixed fee or a quoted scope. You'll know what you're paying before work starts.
Work that fits your calendar
We understand that you may be on tour when documents need attention. Communication and deadlines are arranged to fit, not to conflict with your schedule.
Ready to talk through it
No forms to fill in, no pressure to decide anything.
Just a conversation about your situation and whether one of these services would be genuinely useful. We'll give you a direct answer either way.
