Working to build out this section as rapidly as able, we are here to support Artists, Creators and Inventors on Accounting, Taxes, Advisory and Compliance. IP protection has importance to both Creators and the Economy on the level of protecting thoughts and ideas. We also understand that for many Music and Popular Arts are a key part of the Popular Culture we share and that their impact is something we all feel a part of. It's a challenging time in the International and Domestic Economy for the protection of Artists and Inventors and we believe in the rights of Creators and Artists to own the value they create. That stated there is (generally speaking) a continuing dialogue in Congress where IP us on the center stage - balancing the needs of various interest groups in the Economy. Our part is to help you better connect with the Financials where we can to support your needs as an Artist and Creator of "Intangible" Assets (which have Real Financial Value).

Our role as Accountants is to consider the important point of Financials, Taxes and Compliance a view point that clarifies that Artists and Investors have financial interests, that their work creates value and that where there is Financial Value there is a need for Accounting, Taxes, Analysis and support services.

If you are a creative professional your work has inherent value (to  yourself and potentially to the market place), but you must take formal actions to protect your interests though process of attaining a Patent, Trademark, Service Mark or Copyright depending on related underlying Fact and Details. We are NOT Attorney's and offer NO legal advice in this direction. The Accounting position from our viewpoint is that you must protect your Financial interests and that there is no Intangible Asset created until you formally obtain a Patent, Trademark or Copyright first.

If you have Intangible Assets on your Balance Sheet we are here to assist. Intangible Assets create value that may have income streams or need to be tracked and protected (*), they may have special treatment under the Tax code, and they definitely benefit from broader awareness of Compliance elements. All of these Financial Features give rise to opportunities for Accountants to help and we are here to do so. To protect your Financial Interests with accounting and insight to help you better manage financials.

On the Accounting side the definition here is intended to mean that you would need to properly account for and track your Financial Assets, Earnings and meet your Tax obligations with Compliance. Tracking your assets in any capacity through accounting is a strong way to use awareness of properties in a financial  capacity to maintain them.
