This is one of the articles in the KROST Industry Sports & Entertainment Issue, titled “Client Accounting Service Strategies for Success in the Sports & Entertainment Industry” by Stacey R. Korman, CPA, MST
In the fast-paced and dynamic world of sports and entertainment, financial management plays a crucial role in the success of artists, performers, and athletes. As the complexities of accounting, finance, and taxes continue to increase, professionals in the industry are turning to Client Accounting Service (CAS) providers to streamline their financial operations so they can focus on their creative endeavors. Some effective CAS strategies that can drive success in the sports and entertainment industry include:
Advanced Technology Integration
To keep up with the evolving demands that surround the industry, CAS providers must leverage technologies to streamline the process of preparing financial information. Cloud-based accounting systems allow for real-time access to financial data, facilitating collaboration between the artist, their management team, and accountants. Automated invoicing, expense tracking, bill payment, and investment tracking help to reduce manual errors and save time. By harnessing technology, CAS providers can improve the effectiveness, accuracy, and transparency of financial operations.
