The world of sport and entertainment have always been intrinsically linked, perhaps now more than ever. They’re industries which are competitive and demanding in a series of ways, especially the understanding and management of your finances.
We know there’s currently a lack of readily available support for professional athletes and individuals working in media and entertainment or those businesses involved across these sectors.
So, we’re here to provide a level of care, education and guidance, to assist individuals and entertainers throughout your professional career. Whilst also ensuring business owners working in sport and entertainment have access to the best possible advice.
With our tailored approach comes a wealth of experience and understanding in the sports and entertainment sector, making our team well-equipped to provide the financial and business management advice to sports professionals, media personalities and entertainers.
Leading our Sport & Entertainment division is Andrew Johnson, who brings to BAND 20 years of experience as a professional footballer.
Suffice to say, we not only love what we do, importantly, we know our stuff.
