The Books is where a working artist's money lives: log every gig and expense, turn booked auditions and won grants into income, watch your net for the year, and export clean records for your accountant. QuickBooks was never built for this. This is.
Patron from $8.33/mo · 14-day free trial
Record each engagement, fee, and payment in one ledger built around how performers actually get paid.
Coaching, travel, scores, wardrobe — capture the costs of the work so they're ready at tax time, not lost.
A booked audition or a won grant flows straight into your books as expected income — the workspace connects, so you don't double-enter.
Income, expenses, and net at a glance — a real read on the year, not a guess.
Hand your accountant tidy, categorized records instead of a shoebox — export when you need it.
Your books live alongside your audition tracker, grants, and calendar — the whole career in one place.
Gigs, expenses & net — in one ledger
Every engagement, fee, and cost categorized the way performers earn — with clean export for tax time. Your own numbers fill this in.
The Books is part of the Patron workspace and stays with you on Maestro. Your financial records are private to your account.
