Are you a filmmaker who does their own bookkeeping?

If so, this episode may just be the most important thing you hear in regard to your business's accounting and profitability.

Here's why: Den gets the privilege to chat to tax expert Blake Jenkins who specializes in helping business owners in the creative, film, and TV space. This one could truly help fatten your piggy bank, save you time and money, and keep you out of legal hot water.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:
