ACCOUNTANTS FOR CREW & ENGINEERS

YOU KEEP THE SHOW RUNNING. WE’LL HANDLE THE NUMBERS.

Life on tour isn’t 9 to 5.
Long days. Late nights. Early calls. Back-to-back shows.
The last thing you need is admin hanging over you.

WHY CARTER CLEAR

Because we get how this life actually works.
Long days. Late nights. Constant travel.
One week you’re on a big job, the next you’re chasing invoices or waiting to get paid.
And somewhere in between all that… you’re expected to stay on top of your finances.

Mileage claims. Kit expenses.
PAYE on some gigs, self-employed on others.
Receipts everywhere.
It adds up quickly — and it’s easy to fall behind.

That’s where we come in.
We take the pressure off, get everything organised, and keep things running in the background — so you don’t have to think about it.

  • Stay compliant without the stress
  • Never miss a claim
  • Know what’s coming (and what to set aside)
  • Finally feel on top of your finances

HOW WE SUPPORT CREW & ENGINEERS

From getting things organised to keeping everything running smoothly on the road — we’ve got you covered.

GET SET UP

We start with what you’ve got (even if that’s nothing).
Then we get you set up with systems that actually work on tour.

What this means for you:

  • Mileage and expenses tracked automatically — no more guessing later
  • Receipts logged as you go (yes, even that 2am pizza in Manchester)
  • Simple, app-based tools that work wherever you are
  • Support that fits around your schedule — not the other way round

STAY ON TOP

Keep everything organised, even when life isn’t.
Once things are set up, we make it easy to stay on top of everything — without it taking over your day.

What this means for you:

  • Snap-and-send tools for receipts and expenses
  • Clear advice on working as self-employed or setting up a Ltd company
  • Tax tracked properly — so you know what’s coming (no nasty surprises)
  • Everything in one place, easy to understand

WE’VE GOT YOU

Ongoing support, wherever the job takes you.
You won’t just hear from us once a year.
We’re there when you need us — with support that actually helps.

What this means for you:

  • A WhatsApp group for quick questions and peace of mind
  • Reminders so nothing gets missed
  • Help planning for bigger costs — gear, fuel, or that new van
  • A team that understands life on the road

TRUSTED BY PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY

Whether you’re on stage or behind it, the challenges are often the same — unpredictable income, messy admin, and no time to deal with it.

Here’s how things changed for one of the bands we work with:

What changed:

“Nobody gets into a band to deal with tax and finances… it’s the polar opposite of creativity.”

“They work out what that means in accounting terms and tell you what you need to do.”

“It just makes everything that seems confusing and complicated as simple as possible.”

“The apps have been a godsend on the road… you don’t have to worry about paperwork anymore.”

More clarity.
Less stress.
A lot more time for music.
