Accountant for Artists

Who are 
Artist

Are you a musician, sculptor, architect, painter, singer, actor or dancer? If yes, you are in performing creative arts and can be called an artist. Like most artists, if you are also self-employed or a freelancer and your art provides a second income that you must declare, you are obliged to do a lot of paperwork that can be time-consuming. For a person with a creative mind, doing the tedious work of tax planning and bookkeeping can prove disastrous! We at CoreAdviz are well aware of this and do everything for you. We have a team of accountants who know the specific needs of artists and don’t let their creative minds get engaged in financial paperwork.

Someone who can advise you about the tax implications of your activities, the allowable business expenses, VAT tariff rates, and so on.
