Hi I’m Douglas Scott, The Punk Rock Accountant

I’m a boring accountant with delusions of grandeur and a Master’s degree in Taxation.  I grew up in the punk rock and hardcore music scenes, and was instilled with a strong dose of the DIY ethic and a sense of duty to help make a positive impact on the world.  Art has such a gigantic effect on culture and society that I feel it’s a great place to start. Only dabbling in the arts myself, I think my skills are best utilized by helping other artists.

You’re a musician not a tax nerd!!

For many musicians, navigating the business side of their careers can be tough. The freedom to chase your creative dreams and make a living from your art comes with the everyday challenges of handling rent or mortgage, paying bills on time, and managing the business aspects of your career.

Doing taxes SUCKS!!!

Managing your income, expenses, and receipts often feels like a tedious task that eats up precious hours you can’t spare. It’s not what you’re trained for, nor how you want to spend your time. Your true passions lie in performing, creating, and recording, but like it or not, financial management is essential for keeping food on the table and needs proper attention.

If you’ve been going with the flow and crossing your fingers that the bills will get paid each month, you’re definitely not alone. You’ve likely known for a while that eventually you’d need to face this financial stress, and now is the moment to take charge. By managing your money better, you’ll free up your time to do what you love most—making music.

With almost 30 years of experience balancing life as a musician and an accountant, I can take the pressure of handling your finances off your plate. This way, you can focus on your art while knowing your money is in capable hands.
