Concierge-Style Business & Financial Consultancy for Creatives

Creative professionals thrive on their art - but the admin, compliance and business side often gets in the way. That’s where we step in!

We are a concierge-style business consultancy designed to support creative businesses and individuals whether you're running a studio, freelancing, or building something new. Our service combines the efficiency of smart digital tools with the personal touch of expert support, giving creatives the freedom to focus on what they do best while knowing the business side is handled.

For Businesses

We offer flexible monthly subscriptions tailored to your needs. From bookkeeping and invoicing to full financial management, contract reviews and business mentoring, you choose the services and we build a monthly plan. This way, you spread the cost across the year and avoid any surprise bills at year-end.

For Individuals

Whether you're a freelancer, sole trader or creative practitioner, we provide hands-on support to help you manage your finances, understand your contracts and grow your practice with confidence. You’ll get expert advice without jargon and a trusted point of contact who understands the creative world.

Our Approach

  • Relationship-driven: You’ll always have a real person to speak to, not just an app.

  • Hybrid delivery: Smart tools for speed and efficiency, backed by expert guidance for compliance, clarity and problem-solving.

  • Added value: Business coaching, creative mentoring and networking opportunities to help you grow your work and your confidence.

The result? Peace of mind, smarter business decisions, and more time and energy for creativity.

We don’t just manage admin, we empower creatives to run their businesses with the same professionalism and strategy as major enterprises.

Basil Zafiropoulos

Co-Founder & Strategic Finance Partner

I’m Basil, a Chartered Accountant and financial professional with over 15 years’ experience supporting businesses to grow with confidence.

My career has taken me far beyond traditional accountancy. I’ve acted as CFO for start-ups, built strategies for scaling, managed investment and cashflow, and created the structures that allow founders to focus on their vision while knowing the numbers are under control.

What drives me, though, is my passion for the creative industries. Through years of involvement in amateur theatre, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside and learning from actors, musicians, writers and freelancers of all kinds. That experience has deepened my understanding of both the opportunities and the pressures facing creative professionals, and it’s why I’m committed to providing support that goes beyond balance sheets.

At our consultancy, I bring together technical expertise, strategic insight and passion for the industry. My role is to demystify finance, take away the stress of operations, and act as a partner in growth, so that you can focus on your craft while having the clarity and tools to build a sustainable, thriving business.

Louis-Christian Pendegrass

Co-Founder & Creative Strategy Partner

I’m Louis (or Lou…if we’re close) and I co-founded CCB to build the kind of support system I spent my career searching for: a place where creativity isn’t treated as ‘chaos’, but as something intuitive that blooms with the right structure, care and approach.

My brain works like a tree strung with spider webs - every leaf, thread and branch is connected by a path of possibility and I see relationships between ideas, people and processes, spotting patterns and opportunities long before they’re visible to others. This is the foundation of how I work - at the intersections - and is the reason I’m able to distil knotty problems into clear, practical solutions that are often disguised by noise.

My career spans fashion design, product development, project management, education, digital innovation and business transformation, giving me a uniquely hybrid perspective across creativity, operations, systems and human behaviour. I’ve led international teams, helped reshape systems and have built sustainable models in public and private sectors, championing divergent thinking throughout.

Whilst Basil handles the financial engine, I weave the operational, creative and strategic ecosystem around it, partnering with our clients to bring structure to their working lives, clarity to their decision-making, momentum to their ambitions and most importantly, a human centred relationship which prioritises long lasting value over transaction.

Together with Basil (and our CCO) we give creatives the space to breathe, build and drive their business forward with us in the passenger seat to help guide what can be a bumpy journey.

Sabbini Pendretti-Zafinnelli

Chief Cuddle Officer

I’m Sabbini (or Sabbi, as my treat dispensers call me) the Chief Cuddle Officer at CCB. A connoisseur of comfort and emotional intelligence, I embody CCB’s commitment to empathy, intuition and inclusive leadership (with a side eye of sass).

Highly attuned to mood shifts, squirrels and the occasional passing pigeon, my ear to the ground makes me an invaluable member of our neurodiversity-friendly team. With a finely tuned nose for both biscuits and cultural nuance, I’m here as a reminder that instinct is as vital to business as insight and data. 

A devotee of forest bathing and soft furnishings, my discerning tastes extend to everything from artisanal snacks to colour palettes (right now I’m all about burnt orange and cerulean - obvs). I still have some work to do on my impulse control…especially when it comes to spontaneous zoomies during client meetings, but it’s a small price for CCB to pay for my natural flair and debonair good looks. 

I bring equal parts sophistication and silliness to CCB’s creative ecosystem, keeping morale high, laps warm and perspectives balanced - proving that even in consultancy, the best partnerships start with trust (and a really good cuddle).
