BUSINESS SERVICES FOR CREATIVE COMPANIES

ABOUT

You want to make movies.
Or design apps.
Or start a record label.

We want to manage your business so you can.

You didn’t expect all the headaches that come along with running a small business.

Bookkeeping. Licenses. Payroll. IRAs. NDAs. DBAs.

We’re losing you, aren't we?

This stuff comes naturally to us. We’re architecturally minded. Organization is in our blood.

Owner John Travis started out in corporate finance and independent film in New York, then off to LA to manage companies in studio production, graphic design, apparel, music, marketing, and even a non-profit. Now based in Austin, Hollywood Plumbing supports clients across the country.

So let us do the plumbing for your creative business while you focus on what you’re meant to do: create.
