The role of a business manager is not to be confused with a Personal Manager. While a personal manager is more like a CEO, the Business Manager is your CFO, who helps manage the income from deals once they are in place. A business Manager handles all financial issues such as investments, financial planning, bookkeeping, tour account services, asset administration, tax services, insurance monitoring, and royalty examination.

Royalty Review
We will review all royalty statements and artist/producer mechanical and publishing royalty statements. We compare these statements to the artist's contract(s) to verify that the proper rates and deductions have been made.

Tracking & Reporting
We track the due dates of all royalties from third parties, monitor the receipt of royalty statements, monitor the collection of royalty earnings, enter all contracts into a computer database for quick retrieval, and report these findings to artist and/or management.
