DJ payouts after a 3am close
Tiesto-tier touring talent expects to be paid promptly — sometimes before they leave town. Venmoing artists at sunrise leaves no audit trail and creates a 1099 hole every January.

The old way
Sound familiar at District Atlanta?
W-9 chaos for international and touring talent
Different DJs, different agents, different LLCs. By the time tax season hits, half the W-9s are wrong, late, or missing entirely — and you're chasing every one.
Production vendors stacked across rooms
Lighting techs, laser ops, AV, security, valet. Multi-room means multi-stack invoices, often coded incorrectly into QuickBooks because the right line item lives in someone's text thread.
