The Problem

You're running a real business.
Your finances haven't caught up.

⏰

Tax preparers who don't get it

Traditional firms move slowly, surface once a year, and don't speak royalties, tours, or content businesses.

πŸ“‰

Money left on the table

Uncollected settlements, missed deductions, and messy books quietly cost you thousands every year.

🌍

Multistate tax chaos

Touring across 30+ states triggers nexus, withholding, and filing rules most entertainers never see coming.

The Solution

We handle the business.
You handle the show.

A business-management firm built for the realities of creative life β€” irregular income, complex deals, and the chaos that comes with building something real.

1

We Actually Read Your Royalty Statements

Most accountants file them away. We reconcile every line β€” PROs, publishers, labels, digital platforms β€” and catch what you're owed.

2

Tour Settlements, Not Surprises

We budget every tour, reconcile every settlement, and track per-diems and crew payments so you know exactly what the run cost β€” and what it made.

3

Deal Support Before You Sign

Recording contracts, publishing deals, brand endorsements, catalog sales β€” we model the financial reality so you know what you're actually getting, not just what they promised.

4

Text your business manager. Directly.

No ticket queue, no junior staffer, no "we'll get back to you next week." A direct line to your business manager. When a deal lands, you get answers in hours, not days.

Testimonials

In their words.

BOH is a pleasure to work with, especially as a content creator. I feel confident with how they handle my accounting; it takes a lot of stress off my back so I can focus on making videos.
Kyle Keller
Content Creator & Producer
BOH has been a lifesaver. Taxes and accounting used to confuse me, but they stepped in and made everything clear. Their communication is stellar and I always feel supported. Creators should work with BOH.
Alloramomo
Actor, Comedian & Creator
As a full-time artist, I trust BOH with every financial decision. Kyle is consistent, experienced, and always on point. I never have to worry about money stuffβ€”I just focus on the music. Highly recommend.
TX2 Music
Musician & Creator
BOH manages everything from tax planning to episode accounting for our five-person team. They've made it easy to split royalties, manage equity, and stay organized. We focus on creatingβ€”BOH handles the rest.
AnimeIRL
Production Company & Content Creators
I hate business tasksβ€”and now I never think about them. Kyle and BOH let me focus on the creative work I love while they handle the finances, taxes, and everything I'd otherwise avoid. Total gamechanger.
TheChrisBarnett
Actor & Creator
BOH helps us navigate every financial aspect of our partnership. They've demystified the tax filing process, reply immediately, and helped us navigate moving cross-country and dropping our 9-5's to become self-employed. They've been at every step of the road, even helping us secure housing.

FAQ

Questions entertainers actually ask.

We typically recommend setting aside 35–45% of gross income for federal, state, and self-employment taxes. The exact percentage depends on your state mix, entity structure, and deductions. We calculate a personalized rate after your first month with us.
An accountant files your taxes. A business manager oversees your entire financial life β€” deal review, cash flow, investments, and long-term strategy. At BOH, you get both: deep accounting expertise with genuine entertainment industry experience.
It depends on your cash needs, tax situation, and long-term goals. We build a full financial model comparing the after-tax proceeds of a sale versus the projected lifetime value of keeping your catalog. Many artists are surprised by what the math actually shows.
Absolutely. We work with actors, athletes, influencers, directors, photographers, designers, and any creative professional with irregular, multi-source income. The principles are the same: track it, structure it, protect it, grow it.
