Confidential tax and advisory services for artists and content creators

Australia’s media and entertainment industry is evolving rapidly, with digital platforms reshaping how music, film, television, podcasts, gaming and online content are created, distributed and monetised. For artists and content creators, this shift from “product” to “content” has created complex income streams, multi-territory contracts and new partnership models that are often difficult to navigate without specialist advice.

Specialist advisers to artists and creators

We know how challenging it can be to work with advisers who do not understand your business or your industry.

Moore Australia has an entertainment division staffed by professionals with extensive experience working with successful musicians, bands, songwriters, touring artists, podcasters, influencers, actors and authors.

We understand how advances, royalties, guarantees, backend participation and digital platform revenue actually work in practice.

Confidentiality and robust revenue assurance

Our greatest commitment to our clients is confidentiality, supported by strong internal controls and disciplined processes.

We ensure that all revenue streams are thoroughly and independently reviewed and reconciled, giving you peace of mind that you are receiving your full entitlements in line with your contractual agreements. Our team is used to working in high-profile environments where discretion is essential.

Support for multi-stream, multi-territory income

The modern entertainment landscape often involves multiple agreements across different territories, platforms and timeframes.

We help you make sense of complex contracts, foreign income and residency rules, touring budgets, brand endorsements and merchandise arrangements.

Our role is to sit on the same side of the table as you, providing clear explanations, practical guidance and a trusted review of the partnerships and deals you forge over your career.

How we help

Helping you turn creative work into lasting wealth

Creative careers can be unpredictable, with income arriving in bursts from tours, releases, campaigns or projects, while everyday costs and obligations continue regardless. We work with you to smooth this volatility, understand your cash flow, and put structures in place that support both current commitments and long term financial security. That includes thinking beyond the next project to how your catalogue and brand can support you over time.

By combining industry knowledge with strong technical capability in tax, accounting and wealth management, we help you make confident decisions about spending, saving, investing and protecting your assets. Our aim is to give you clarity and control, so you can focus on your work, your audience and your creative output, knowing that your financial affairs are being actively managed.

Within media and entertainment, our specialist services typically include:

Royalty, endorsement and sponsorship revenue tracking and assurance, including APRA and AMCOS
Cash flow forecasting, tour budgeting and project analysis
