Focus on your craft.
We’ll handle the numbers.
Who we are
We work with business owners who need more than compliance: they need a partner who understands how their business actually runs: irregular income, multi-state activity, complex deductions, and decisions that compound over time. That expertise runs especially deep in music, film, and entertainment, where royalties, project-based income, and multi-state work are the norm, not the exception. Think of us as your behind-the-scenes financial team, protecting what you’ve built, planning for what’s next, and helping you build stronger.
A modern approach
No two creatives are alike. That’s why we take a personalized approach, learning the details of your projects, contracts, and income streams to craft a financial plan that suits your lifestyle. Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, we offer clarity, strategy, and confidence for your financial journey.
We’re the team behind Regent Financial & Tax Advisors, a boutique tax and financial advisory firm built specifically for musicians, entertainers, and creative entrepreneurs. Before starting Regent, our founder spent 16+ years inside the entertainment industry, handling corporate tax and cross-border royalty accounting, including 1042/1042-S withholding, at Sony Music and Epic Records, plus film and production accounting, including Section 181 film tax incentives, at Paramount Global. We built Regent because creative professionals kept being handed the same generic small-business tax advice as everyone else, when royalty income, touring pay, film credits, and cross-border payments actually need someone who has processed them from the inside.
Industry Experience
Sixteen-plus years of corporate tax and royalty accounting experience, including prior roles at Sony Music, Epic Records, and Paramount Global. That background covers cross-border royalty accounting and 1042/1042-S withholding, the exact mechanics that trip up touring artists, songwriters with international catalogs, and labels paying royalties to foreign recipients. It also includes the tax issues that come up in film and media: mergers and acquisitions, cross-border deals, and film tax credits. Most tax preparers have never encountered work at this level.
Why Regent
Regent Financial & Tax Advisors exists because creative income doesn’t fit a standard tax return: royalty statements, 1099s from multiple states and countries, touring per diems, sync licensing checks, and self-employment structuring all need specialized handling that generic small-business accountants don’t offer. Regent positions itself as “The Financial Architect for Creatives”, building the same caliber of financial infrastructure a major-label artist would have, for independent musicians, producers, and entertainers managing it themselves.
Beyond the Numbers
We’re also working musicians and music managers, having stood on both sides of the royalty statement ourselves. We’re based in the NJ/NYC metro area.
