The Accountancy Practice for the Video Games Industry

Starting a Video Game Studio Business…

 

…hard.

Successfully launching your first game is a milestone few indie studios reach.

Now, as you focus on scaling your success, it's crucial to have a financial strategy that grows with you.

Whether you're looking for your first accountant or need to switch from a generalist to a game industry specialist, Sky Life Accountancy is here to guide you.

Games are bloody expensive to make and rightly so.

As your studio grows, so do the challenges. Managing cash flow, budgeting for new projects, securing funding, and maximizing tax relief opportunities can feel like a boss battle you weren't prepared for. Without the right financial partner, even the best game studios can struggle to stay ahead.

 

We Understand the Key Challenges of Video Game Development Studios Face

“The entire video game industry is constantly teetering on the edge of unsustainability.”

Paul Tassi, Forbes Magazine (May 2021)

Working with a Video Game Accountant

 

Imagine a financial strategy that doesn’t just keep your studio afloat but powers your growth to the next level. With industry-specific insights, precise cash flow management, and expert guidance on tax reliefs like Video Games Tax Relief, we help turn your vision into a sustainable business model.

Most accountants don’t understand the nuances of the gaming industry.

Or worse, they don’t even play video games!

At Sky Life Accountancy, we live and breathe gaming (you should see our office).

We know that your passion lies in developing amazing games, not wrestling with spreadsheets and software.

That’s why we offer a bespoke service tailored to indie studios, with a focus on growth, cash flow optimisation, and tax efficiency.

“The gaming industry is not recession proof. Recent quarterly results
from the US show that gamers
have pulled back spending
since the pandemic.”

A QUICK WORD FROM ANDREW

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

So Aim high.
