Touring creates financial complexity most musicians never signed up for.
Touring brings a myriad of complicated money issues: income is sporadic, expenses pile up quickly, decisions are often made on the fly, often with incomplete information. On top of that, the music industry has a long history of bad advice, unclear incentives, and broken trust.
It’s no wonder many professional artists feel uncertain when navigating real financial complexity without clear guidance.
This is where guidance matters.
Songbird guidance brings peace of mind
As Certified Public Accountants, we have grounded expertise and years of experience in the financial intricacies of business. But the foundation of our process is first and foremost finding out what you’re building, why you’re building it, and what matters most — so financial decisions are grounded in that clarity. This is the crucial first step in co-creating a shared understanding that is the basis of our working relationship, and that will influence all other actions and decisions you make.
Understand what actually matters financially
Build sustainable systems for managing finances, especially on the road
Be strategic with cashflow
Stay on track, even as things change — tours, income, band dynamics, life
We believe art, music, design, and storytelling aren’t luxuries, they’re the heartbeat of culture. They shape how communities see themselves, how justice is imagined, and how connection is built. Your work matters; it shifts how people feel and think. And we need that, not just now, but always.

Why artists trust Songbird
At Songbird, we know numbers can feel rigid and intimidating. Our approach looks different because it’s based on another fundamental belief we have: understanding your numbers can be its own creative act, a way of shaping possibility, finding rhythm in the chaos, and giving your ideas room to grow. We want to help you find the structure that frees creativity and sustains it rather than stifling it.
When you’re ready for the next level
Songbird guidance is designed for touring musicians who take their craft seriously and want to be intentional about their financial future, even if things still feel unclear right now.
Songbird is a good fit if you:
Are actively touring or preparing to tour at a serious level
Want to be confident you’re handling money and taxes the right way
Value clear explanations and straight answers
Are willing to engage, ask questions, and make thoughtful decisions

See financial clarity as part of building a sustainable career
We expect our clients to be engaged and honest. If you’re looking for the cheapest option, or a one-off tax return, or if you want to just offload your financials to someone else, then we’re not for you.
Ways to work with us
It’s not always obvious how much support you need, especially if you’re used to managing the business side alone. The guidance we offer is tailored to address individual needs, but falls generally into three different levels.
