Why Choose Centre Stage Accountants

centre stage accountants for performers, choreographers, artists, singers, actors, dancers, directors, theatre companies, film companies, cameramen, set designers & the theatre & film industries from chartered accountants to the entertainment industry in manchester & london

There are many good reasons to choose us to manage your accounts & tax affairs. We offer a dedicated service, specialising in the Entertainments Industry and Performing Arts, which is tailored to your specific needs. Our comprehensive service includes:

Ease of use - online forms for you to download:

Forget your troubles - we are going to make this process easier for you - no fines, penalties or stress. Did you know that 1 in 10 people pay a fine each year for a late tax return? That doesn't have to be you. Leave the difficult job to us. You'll receive personal attention from a chartered accountant and tax expert and benefit from our specialist services tailored to your needs -
"Forget your troubles, come on get happy!"


Set Fee - fixed affordable monthly fee for artists & performers:
  • Set of Annual Accounts
  • Annual Tax Return (SA Return)
  • All dealings with the Inland Revenue & HMRC

But it is easier than that - you can pay by Direct Debit, so you don't have to worry about one payment you might not be able to make.
You can also pay a one-off fee for Fee Protection. This is an option, but we do advise as if circumstances should result in you receiving an enquiry or investigation from HMRC then all costs are covered.

The above usually applies to sole traders, although all online & direct debit facilities are available to all our clients. If we feel there is extra work required than initially quoted for, we will of course discuss the cost implications with you before progressing.

VAT & Bookkeeping Assistance
For individuals & companies over the VAT threshold (currently £68,000), or those simply seeking extra help & advice, we can offer an in house bookkeeping service or one of our bookkeeping team can train you or a member of your team on a computer system that will ensure your books are kept correctly & easy to manage. Please contact us if this is something that may be of interest.

Tax Expertise
Tax in this industry can be complex & may certainly seem that way. Many professionals in the entertainment industry are both employed (PAYE) & self employed & often have several tax codes. The amount of clients we have who are put on incorrect tax codes by employers is astounding. This is important to get right to ensure you do not pay too much tax or face a huge bill at the end of the year. This is why we have tax specialists who have a wealth of knowledge with regard to the arts & entertainment industries.
It equally as important for companies & limited companies. We are more than happy to deal with all tax issues for all our clients from standard self assessment returns to investigations & all areas in between. Get in touch if you are concerned or unsure.

Specialist Knowledge/Advice
Our staff are abreast of all current laws effecting the industries and we have specialists with excellent knowledge of all Equity, PACT & BECTU rules & regulations.
