NameFilter: Looking for a name for a small tax accounting firm that is marketing itself primarily towards artists and other creative types.

The head of the firm is himself an fine artist well recognized in his field, and so he specializes in tax and accounting issues that artists face. (Can I write off that tour I lost money on? If I'm a TV personality are my clothes considered an expense?) Looking for a name that speaks to the business and the clientele without sounding goofy or unprofessional.

Thanks in advance, internet friends!

Is Creative Accounting too obvious/unprofessional?

I'm thinking of the expression "no accounting for taste." Maybe something like Accounting For Talent or Accounting For ____.

Maybe something "Left Brain"/"Right Brain" oriented?

In the spirit of "Accounting is an art and a science" I like the idea of something like Accounting Arts
