Music income comes from distributors, PROs, labels, publishers, and tour settlements, each on its own schedule. Without the streams separated, nobody can tell whether a tour made money or which revenue line is growing.
Income by source
Touring, streaming, publishing, sync, and merch tracked separately.
Tour profitability
Travel, lodging, per diems, and crew pay against what the run earned.
Royalties organized
By distributor, PRO, label, and publisher.
Band and crew 1099s
Session players and crew set up correctly from the start.
What we handle
- Tracking income by source — live and touring, streaming and mechanical royalties, publishing, sync, merch, sponsorship
- Tour income and expenses including travel, lodging, per diems, and band and crew pay
- Royalty income organized by distributor, PRO, label, and publisher
- 1099s for band members, session musicians, and crew
- Merch sales and the sales tax that comes with them
Common problems we fix
- Income scattered across distributors, PROs, platforms, and settlements
- Tour expenses never tracked, so profitability is a guess
- Loan-out or entity activity mixed with personal spending
