Accounting for the Creative Industries, Tailored to You

From tax deductions on creative tools to the complexity of grants, project income, and intellectual property, the financial world can get a bit… grey. But not with us.

As accountants who specialise in working with creatives, we know the ins and outs of:

  • Industry-specific tax allowances and deductions
  • Grant funding and reporting requirements
  • Irregular or project-based income
  • GST and invoicing for creatives
  • ABN vs. business structures for artists and freelancers
  • Record keeping systems that actually work for visual thinkers

Whether you’re just getting started, freelancing full-time, or scaling a creative business, we offer advice and support that’s practical, relevant, and jargon-free.

Business Advisory for Creative Entrepreneurs

We don’t just help you with compliance – we support your growth. At Lemonade Beach, our Business Advisory Services help creative professionals make smart, data-driven decisions without the overwhelm.

We’re Not Your Typical Accountants (and That’s a Good Thing!)

At Lemonade Beach, we’ve swapped the suits for sandals and the jargon for straight talk. We believe in real conversations, approachable service, and empowering you with the tools you need to feel confident in your numbers.

There’s no such thing as a “silly question” here. If you don’t understand something, we take the time to explain it until it makes sense.

We’re accountants, yes – but we’re also people people. And we want to see you succeed at doing what you love.
