Well, hello!

Keep Creative is a financial operations studio serving
creative businesses
and people.

TELL ME MORE!

We exist to answer these and many other questions:

How much should I pay myself?
Do I have enough/make enough to hire someone?
Are my services profitable?
How can I figure out what my runway is and what is a burn rate?
How much money should I set aside for taxes?
What is an income statement and how can I learn to read it?
How do I read any of these financial statements?!
Should I be an S-Corp?
I don’t understand what my tax accountant is asking me!


GO ON…

Effectively, think of Keep Creative as your accounting muscle, providing simple monthly bookkeeping and beyond.

Our engagements have tiers: monthly retainers that scale to, and with, your business. As growth happens, we take it all in stride together.

We don’t only support on the transactional side of things: we can manage as much of your financial operations as you’d like, including helping you get paid (AR), paying for your stuff and your people (AP), and organizing all things HR/Admin.

Never sweat 401(k)’s, health insurance enrollments for your team, or 1099’s again.


WHAT ELSE?

Don’t have any systems yet?
We set up and manage any cloud based accounting solution (ERP), from QBO to Netsuite.

My books are a mess and I need help.
Yep, we got you.

Wait, so do you only work with “creatives”?
Not at all! If you build things or provide a service, we work with you.

Do you work with non-profits?
Absolutely.

ENGAGEMENT LEVELS

  • Bookkeeping

    We can handle simple clean-ups or be your “full charge” service, performing duties an accountant, controller, or CFO would manage.

    Don’t have a system or are your books in total shambles? No sweat. We can implement or cleanup any solution, as long as it’s cloud based.

  • AR & AP

    Helping you, and your people, get paid and on time.

    As a Justworks and Gusto partner, we can set up and manage employee payroll, domestic and international contractor/vendor payments, and manage all the required compliance. Need benefits administration and HR resource, too? We got you!

  • Forecasting

    Budgeting, Forecasting, and Cash Flow planning go hand-in-hand with running your business profitably.

    We can analyze your business performance and build planning tools to illustrate what the future may look like, how profitable your services are, and what capital and strategies are needed for sustainability + growth.

  • Consulting

    Not entirely sure what you need?

    Let’s talk shop. We can identify what your needs are, and how to best work together. And if we discover that you need a different solution, we’ll connect you.

VIBE CHECK

If you can’t already tell, we approach our work with playfulness and joy.

Work, in our humble opinion, is fun.
We’re humans after all, so we believe in collaboration that is founded in kindness and respect, but we also take the services we provide quite seriously.

Expect honest insights and feedback, even if uncomfortable, delivered with equanimity.

SOME NICE WORDS

“As a small team, we are so grateful to have Keep Creative’s support with our bookkeeping and other operational tasks. With their guidance and support, we have completely overhauled our financial reporting process, and, in the process, gained significant clarity and perspective.”


Katherine McDonald
COO CreativeMornings

“Keep Creative was instrumental in helping Rescue Vessel establish structure in our financial and operational processes. Quite literally, we would not be where we are today without their hard work.”

Bobby Jeffries
Partner Rescue Vessel

THE BOTTOM LINE

Our main service is time, honestly.

We spend our time on your business, so you can spend yours on
creating,
building,
growing,
daydreaming.

Spending more time with your kids.

Or cooking.

Or eating.

Or both.

Or traveling.

Or making up words like atwolkyfarp.

 

OKAY. I AM READY!
