Musician Initiative

COVID-19 has significantly impacted musicians and artists, therefore Naked would like to offer free accounting and business support to musicians and bands. This support includes the basics such as wage subsidy help, tax advice (e.g. what can I claim?), GST advice, structure advice (e.g. Should I be a sole trader vs company?) and budgeting. The initiative will run from now to the end of November 2021 and is open to all musicians and bands who are deriving income from their music

Naked will try their absolute best to help as many people as they can, but the offer will end when they reach capacity! Please contact them at info@nakedaccounting.co.nz
