While we specialise in music royalties and royalty auditing, we offer general practice services including business plan preparation, business sale, succession, and dissolution, as well as both internal and external accounting management. Bevis and Co have undertaken almost 2,000 royalty audits for clients in the music, record, film, book and computer games industries.It is estimated that we have uncovered total under accounting of music royalties of nearly 250m. A full royalty audit will uncover royalty underpayments to the licensor, offer advice on structuring artist, writer and licensing agreements without breaking the relationship between the parties.
Services
We believe strongly in concentrating on what we do best; royalty auditing in the entertainment industry. All other accounting and business management work is passed to our sister company, Music Business Associates. Our Director, Chris Bevis, controls every audit. He is able to concentrate on the sharp end because he has a superb team managing compliance, data analysis, reporting and other administrative tasks.
Our General Manager, Nicki Cornelius, has many years' experience in accountancy and taxation work. She is very proactive and is an expert in IRIS (company/sole trader accounts preparation) and MTD (Making Tax Digital). Our support staff are very adaptable and can produce Excel spreadsheets from PDFs at the drop of a hat.

Our auditors have the best experience to identify key commercial issues which the royalties department may have found it hard to deal with practically.

Chris Bevis has an in-depth understanding of how companies in the music industry operate, both in the UK and internationally. He knows all the tricks of the trade and can go straight to where the under-accounting is hidden. He understands that clients these days want fast results at competitive prices, and he delivers.
