CAREER

Thirty years of accounting.

First on the publishing side, then auditing statements for large catalogues, today with Beat Box GmbH for producers, artists, labels and estates.

The work is rarely spectacular. It consists of getting repertoire data into a state where collecting societies can match it — and then checking whether what is distributed matches what is owed. That is exactly where the revenue sits that otherwise stays uncollected.
