In this recent post from MusicThinkTank, Robert Lanterman explains why it’s so important for bands be organized about their bookkeeping.
“There may come a point where financial advice or the help of an accountant may be necessary. Now, it’s important in this case to differentiate between an accountant and a bookkeeper. Where bookkeeping is purely record-keeping, Ohio University’s website explained that accountants are “qualified to provide their employers with these same services, but they also influence companies by offering more in-depth, actionable advice regarding their finances.””
