After stints with other practices, firm friends Richard and Laurence formed a partnership targeting fledgling actors and aspiring singers, as well as utilising music and fashion industry connections. Here, in highlights, we share the story of a nimble start-up’s evolution to £20m+ turnover business with an enviable roster of A list, corporate and private clients across the globe.
The purchase of Sedley Morris brought a significant gear-change; with larger, successful businesses on the books in need of an audit and corporate finance services, it was time to expand further. In 1996 corporate specialist, Marc Voulters, joined from a Big Four firm, adding the final letter to our name.
Recruitment and internal promotion recognised outstanding contribution and boosted partner numbers, with heavyweights in a range of premium industries, while specialist staff numbers hit a hundred.
Our approach was always about building the strongest relationship we could with the client. We were honest with them when a lot of people around them weren’t; this earned us their trust.
Nine months after joining ETL Global, a Top 15 ranked network of tax, legal, audit and accounting specialists, all energy was on supporting clients through COVID. Many music artists and actors were grounded and our hospitality clients closed. They bounced back but these were tough times for us all; knowledge, resourcefulness and ingenuity was key to survival.
"Our philosophy has always been grounded in a strong, family-oriented foundation. While we've evolved into a more ‘professionalised’ organisation focused on excellence, we remain dedicated to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for both our team and clients."
At Jungle Tax, our mission is to deliver tailored financial solutions for the creative sector. We understand the unique needs of creative businesses and individuals, offering expert advice that allows them to focus on their craft. Through strong relationships and a commitment to excellence, we aim to be the trusted tax advisors driving growth and success for creatives worldwide.
With our roots firmly in the creative world of music and entertainment, we have a roster of singers, songwriters, musicians, actors, models, digital content creators and sports stars. Behind the talent sits their support network so we also advise record labels, managers, agencies, producers, directors and theatres.
Sitting alongside the creative division is a weighty portfolio of corporate clients in the premium hospitality, luxury retail and real estate industries, among others. Entrepreneurial owner managed
businesses in a range of sectors and the complex financial needs of the high net-worth families behind these companies, as well as those of our artist clients, make up the final two divisions.
So, from international restaurant groups and boutique labels to prime property and the largest festival group in the UK, we have an inspiringly diverse client base often with complex financial needs. We’re fortunate that most of our work comes through referral and recommendation. Once we win a client, it’s almost always the beginning of a lifelong partnership.
At Jungle Tax, our tax advisors team thrives on creativity and collaboration. Many have been with us from the beginning, inspired by the exciting challenges and our supportive, fun atmosphere. We foster long-term relationships built on trust, guided by two key principles:
In return for this dedication, we invest in our people—providing continuous training, the chance to become experts in their field, and recognising hard work and talent. At Jungle Tax, we not only aim for excellence but also ensure we enjoy the journey along the way!
"At Jungle Tax, we’ve built an environment where hard work meets individuality. Our team thrives because they can bring their creativity and authentic selves to everything they do."
