NWN Blue Squared adds more music accounting strength

26 October 2014 - Press release

Music industry accountants, NWN Blue Squared, have added more specialist expertise to its team, with the arrival of artist business manager Jackie Da Costa.

London-based Jackie has built a significant reputation with many big names and joins the company with a portfolio of around 100 music-based clients including The Brand New Heavies, Roots Manuva, Hyperdub and Twin Atlantic. Her arrival will boost NWN’s already burgeoning list of music industry names.

Jackie takes on the role of NWN’s Business Support Manager, Music and is set to strengthen the 30-strong team. With more than 35 years’ experience in the music industry, she will continue to manage and develop a range of clients, providing support for all of their day-to-day accounting and tax related requirements.

After signing the deal, Jackie commented: “I’m incredibly excited to become part of such a fast-growing and progressive company. What really attracted me to NWN was their passion for the creative sector and the music industry in particular. They just ‘get it’ and my experience and client portfolio will fit perfectly with theirs.”

NWN Blue Squared CEO, Nick Lawrence added: “The timing, the person and the business synergies could not have been better. The music industry is exciting, but often unpredictable and, while we always talk about delivering ‘unexpectedly’ high service, the one thing our clients always expect is sound, consistent and practical advice. Jackie has demonstrated a really strong track record in all of these and I’m certain our current and future clients will appreciate her expertise. The fact that she can now share this with the rest of the team is also a huge boost to the NWN brand.”
