Are sales reported gross or net?

What Studio reporting shows a finance team, the audit-firm accounting memo behind the merchant-of-record structure, what the EVEN percentage absorbs between gross and net, export availability, and how non-music revenue is reported.

Written by Andrea Torres

Reporting shows both gross and net, alongside daily payout records. You can see what the campaign made before EVEN's percentage and what it made after.

The accounting memo

An audit-firm accounting memo covers the merchant-of-record structure. Most finance teams need it to book EVEN revenue correctly. Ask your EVEN team for it during setup rather than waiting until close.

What sits between gross and net

EVEN's percentage is the only thing standing between the two figures. It covers payment processing, currency conversion, publishing, global sales tax and fan support, so none of those show up as separate deductions. Refunds and chargebacks net out of reporting and payouts automatically, as they happen.

Auditing the numbers

Your finance team can audit the campaign in full. You get daily payout records, full data export at any time, and the accounting memo. Together those let you check every transaction one by one, instead of against a monthly summary.

Exporting it

You can export the full data at any time, during the partnership and on exit, with no gates and no notice period. The export covers transaction data as well as fan data, so finance and marketing can both work from the same file.

Non-music revenue

Experiences and products not tied to the music can sit on the same Studio, with revenue routed to the artist or team directly. They report separately from the music revenue that goes to the label.
