How to support your touring artists

When your clients are on the road, around the clock, it can be tough to support their needs. 

One of the UK’s top 40 accounting firms SRLV specializes in supporting individuals and businesses in the music, media and entertainment sector and, as director Lloyd Quilty says,

“We’re on the end of the phone for everything.”

Managing expenses for touring artists can be an expensive headache.

Tours are dynamic. Time differences and the demands of a touring schedule means that artists seldom have time for any last-minute or ad hoc paperwork.

To support its clients, SRLV uses Centtrip.

Centtrip helps tours run more smoothly

SRLV clients use the Centtrip prepaid Mastercard for on-the-road expenses. The card’s uniquely high balance and transaction limits are specifically designed for demanding scenarios like international touring. 

Up to $275,000 per day can be transferred instantly to a single or multiple cards. Cardholders can spend up to $250,000 in a single in-store or online transaction and can withdraw up to $5,000 per day from ATMs around the world.

New cards can be in users’ hands within days of a request, making it easy to cope with personnel changes.

At the same time, the award-winning Centtrip app gives authorized users real-time, anytime visibility and control over expenditure. As a result,  

“At the end of the night, after a gig, sitting on the tour bus, the tour manager can go onto the app and see what was spent that day: 'Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that, here's the receipt for this, there's the receipt for that.' Then, they can send it all across to us and it's done and dusted.”

Centtrip understands what our clients need

But, Centtrip is more than technology. It prides itself on excellent customer service delivered by a dedicated team that understands their world and yours.

SRLV director Grant Court explains,

“Centtrip understood what our clients need. The online account and app are easy to use, updated throughout the day and there is a great office support team for more complicated matters.”

"Centtrip's customer service is excellent,” adds Quilty. “The team works hard and they deal with queries very quickly. They're always going above and beyond to make sure the clients are looked after.”
