Accountants for the creatively ambitious
Founded by Dean Shepherd, an experienced accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser with over 25 years experience in the profession, at ESXR we believe the creative industries are the beating heart of the UK’s economy and culture.
From innovative agencies and digital pioneers to the talent working behind the scenes in film, TV, and media. The new wave of content creators and influencers - you shape the world we live in.
Our mission is to free you from the financial and administrative burden of being in business.
What makes us different?
