Bookkeeping for event management companies
Events run on deposits, dozens of suppliers and tight margins. We track every event from first deposit to final invoice, so you know what each one really made and your VAT is right on every payment.
Common challenges we fix
- Client deposits received months before the event
- Supplier and venue costs scattered across events
- Freelance crew paid in cash or by transfer
- No clear profit per event
What we handle for you
- Deposits and VAT recorded when payments arrive
- Supplier, venue and crew costs tagged to each event
- Freelancer and contractor payments documented
- Client balances and final invoices followed up
- Profit report for every event
- VAT returns and payroll
Frequently asked questions
Do we pay VAT on a deposit before the event happens?
Usually yes. Receiving payment creates a tax point, so VAT on a deposit is generally due in the period you receive it.
Can you show which events were profitable?
Yes. Every income and cost line is tagged to an event, and you get a profit report per event and per client.
