Financial Urgent Care

In response to a prevalent need for emergency financial assistance for artists within our community, Pentacle has launched its newest fiscal service, Financial Urgent Care.

Pentacle is available for artistic entities that feel their finances or financial practices need an expert’s eye and someone with advanced Quickbooks accounting software skills.

This new service is ideal for artistic entities that have undergone staff changes and/or lack sound financial policies and procedures. To determine what areas require attention, entities will be provided with an initial assessment to create a customized plan outlining what areas of assistance might be necessary to build a strong financial structure.

*All artistic entities will now receive 5 "Care Hours" thanks to the Howard Gilman Foundation's support of program.

The artistic entity will undergo a financial assessment with a Pentacle Staff Member, which will help us provide you with a diagnosis and create a customized treatment plan outlining that is necessary to build a strong financial structure. The most common treatment plans will address cash flow issues, the effects of staff changes, and/or the lack of sound financial policies and procedures due to COVID-19. Additional administrative help after the initial number of hours is met can be provided for an additional hourly rate or fee.
