Minding Your Business

Join us for an info-packed hour where we'll talk through all the basics of operating your creative business. Whether you're just getting started or you're five years in, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of core issues like incorporating, intellectual property, systems of tracking income and expenses, and more. Learn the top myths that hold back deductions where they're valid and learn the golden rule that helps you find deductions all on your own. Bring your questions around business structures, taxes, accounting, and more.

About Revel CPA

Accounting wasn't designed for creatives. But we are. Clients seek us out because they're tired of working with CPAs who just don't get their business. They're tired of being talked down to. They know it could be better--a relationship with an advisor who has the professional experience to get it done right and the industry background to actually understand their challenges. Someone who wants to go beyond just reflecting past results to them and who wants to act as a partner in their success, guiding and advising along the way. These photographers, graphic designers, studios, labels, agencies, writers, models, actors, and production houses come because collaboration is in their DNA and they want it in their CPA too. Let's talk about how Revel CPA can help you realize more of the vision you have for your business!
