You can create billable expenses such as hotel/flight buyouts and post-show expenses like taxi rides or other extras paid the day of the show.

You can also create “Pre-Commission” expenses which will allow you to subtract artist expenses before calculating your commission on the total fee guarantee.

We have four main categories of expenses:

  • Buyouts are billable expenses allocated to an artist, payable to the artist.

  • Billables are billable expenses allocated to an artist, and payable to the agency.

  • Costs are non-billable expenses allocated to an artist, payable to the agency.

  • Expenses are non-billable expenses allocated to an artist, and payable to the artist.​

Artist Expenses Settings

You can create and categorize each expense type as you add them to a booking. Or you can navigate to your Settings > Invoices, Offer, and Payments > Artists Expense Types and set them up in advance.

Expense Description

For better expense tracking, you can include a description or memo to each expense. The description can be visible on settlement reports as well as invoices by using the expense description variable.
