Free guides made for real businesses like yours.
Managing your money as a creative doesn’t need to be complicated — but it does need to be intentional. Whether you're an actor, videographer, artist, or freelancer, the right financial tools can save you time, reduce stress, and keep your focus where it belongs: on your craft.
Use tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or FreeAgent to track income, log expenses, and generate invoices on the go. These platforms help keep everything in one place — and make tax time 10x easier.
Apps like Stripe, GoCardless, or PayPal Business let you send professional invoices and collect payments faster. Look for features like auto-reminders and direct debits to speed up your cash flow.
Pocketbook, Monzo, or Starling Bank let you tag transactions and track spending in real time. Set budgets for things like travel, gear, or promotion and stick to them with visual dashboards.
Use tools like untied, 1tap, or MileIQ to scan receipts, log mileage, and prep for your Self Assessment. No more hunting through drawers when HMRC deadlines come calling.
Keep contracts, invoices, and receipts safe in cloud storage like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox. Easy access equals peace of mind — especially during audits or funding applications.
The right tools won’t replace your talent — but they will protect it. When your financial systems are solid, you're free to create boldly, charge confidently, and build a career that lasts.
