NOT YOUR USUAL ROYALTY
OR ACCOUNTING BUSINESS.

WE’RE HERE TO GIVE YOU THE ROYAL TREATMENT.

We’re not royalty (though Queen Elizabeth II did grant us to use the word), but we do deliver excellent backend services to record labels, distributors, and music publishers. With decades of music industry experience, we offer world-class royalty processing as well as accountancy services.

It’s easy to get lost in the noise and numbers. That is why we exist: to help you make sense of your data and turn it into profits, solutions, and sound decisions.

OUR MISSION

YOU CREATE.
WE HANDLE THE FINANCES.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN…

Tackling royalties and accounting in the music industry can feel like herding cats, but it’s absolutely necessary!

As a result, The Music Royalty Co. was founded in 2014 by Ray Bush, who saw a pressing need in the music industry and decided to tackle it head-on by streamlining royalty processing and administration. With over 20 years of experience working with companies like Cooking Vinyl and FatCat Records, Ray is truly a maestro of the music biz.

Today, our clients include music labels, publishing companies, and distributors such as Scruff of the Neck, and Back Lot Music. Leveraging our extensive knowledge and expertise, we take care of the nitty-gritty tasks, freeing you up to focus on your next big project.

Cooking Vinyl Australia has been on board with MRC since its inception and we’ve found Ray and his team to be professional, knowledgeable, and expeditious. We operate under a broad scope of different deal types so our royalties accounting can be quite complex. MRC understand our business which is critical when it comes to accounting for our artists. We could not recommend them highly enough.

We have been working closely with MRC on all aspects of business affairs, accountancy, and financial management since 2015.Their attention to detail including preparation of in-depth management accounts has transformed the way we operate as a business, reducing our overheads, increasing profit and freeing up valuable time to concentrate on the creative aspects of running a successful independent record company.

Alex Knight, Fat Cat Records

I have been working with MRC for years now and they are wonderful to work with! Knowing that our royalty accounting is covered by the specialists at MRC is invaluable – they allow us the headspace to concentrate on confidently running and growing the label.

Justine Jones, Church Road Records

I’m confident that as we keep growing as a label, MRC will be able to continue to assist us on the highest level. They are also super communicative in working with us—which is great when you’re dealing with independent labels like ours! I will continue to recommend colleagues to MRC because of their attention to detail and incredible communication.
