The Work
What business management actually means.
It means one team handling everything that touches your money: paying bills, tracking deals and residuals, cash-flowing tour advances, budgeting the household, managing the loan-out, filing the taxes, and keeping the whole thing tied together in real books that a CPA reviews every month.
It's not a bookkeeper with a fancy title. It's a full financial back office — engineered so you can spend your time in the studio, on set, on court, or on stage, and still know exactly where your money is.

Who this is for
If your income is complicated, your schedule is not your own, and you want a licensed CPA at the top of your financial org chart — this is built for you.
Actors, musicians, athletes, showrunners, producers, directors, models, and the creatives around them. Also: their loan-outs, LLCs, foundations, and household entities.
The questions we hear most.
Common questions
Are you full-service business managers, or just accountants?
Full-service. We pay the bills, run the payroll, manage the entities, and file the taxes. If you want a business manager who is also a CPA firm — that's us.
Will you coordinate with my agent, manager, and attorney?
Yes. We work as one node of your team. Regular touchpoints with your reps, on your schedule.
Do you handle investments?
We don't manage investments. We coordinate closely with your wealth advisor and make sure the tax picture is aligned. We do not accept commissions or referral fees.
How much does this cost?
Business management is quoted per engagement. Many clients land on a flat monthly fee that covers everything above and some structure a percentage of gross earnings. No hourly CPA fees.
Do I get signatory privileges?
Optional. You can maintain full authority over payment approval, or delegate to us. Either way, you receive electronic notification of every transaction — you're always in control.
How secure is your process?
Enterprise-grade. Egnyte (encrypted at rest, TLS in transit, SOC 2), Bill.com (audit-logged approval routing), role-based access on every system. U.S.-based staff. Your data never leaves the country.

What is business management (and how is it different from bookkeeping)?
Business management is the full financial back office for people whose finances are too complex for a bookkeeper. A bookkeeper records transactions. A business manager pays the bills, runs the payroll, cash-flows the tour or the deal, manages the loan-out and other entities, files the taxes, and keeps the whole thing tied together in real books that a CPA reviews every month. At Laléa & Black, business management means one team handling everything that touches your money — under one CPA firm's roof, with a named partner accountable at the top.
Who is business management at Laléa & Black actually built for?
Talent, athletes, executives, families, and founders whose income is complicated and whose schedule is not their own — actors, musicians, showrunners, producers, directors, models, and the creatives around them. Also their loan-outs, LLCs, foundations, and household entities. If you want a licensed CPA at the top of your financial org chart — not a business manager who then hands your tax return to a separate firm — this is built for you.
What does the Laléa & Black business management engagement include?
Three integrated tiers under one monthly fee: (1) Financial concierge — bill pay, cash flow, day-to-day AP with approval routing and signatory privileges when needed, household + business handled together. (2) Fractional CFO — rolling 13-week cash forecast, annual budget with KPI dashboard, board-ready reporting, fundraise or debt data room prep. (3) Advisory — entity structuring, S-corp elections, owner comp planning, and M&A diligence when equity events land on the calendar.
How does Laléa & Black protect client confidentiality in business management?
Confidentiality is the whole job. Bills and contracts land in Egnyte — encrypted at rest, TLS in transit, SOC 2, role-based access. Approvals flow through Bill.com with full audit-logged approval routing. Books live in QuickBooks Online, closed monthly and CPA-reviewed. Payroll runs through ADP. Tax happens in ProConnect, with data flowing directly from books. Staff is 100% U.S.-based — nothing you send us leaves the country. Every engagement is anchored by a named partner.
