The Royalties room
Statement week, without the spreadsheet.
Statements arrive in whatever shape your publishers send them. The room reads each one, matches it to the right title and deal, keeps your commission and any co-agent split straight, shows earn-out against the advance, and generates the invoice for you, emailed out and ready for your books. You check the numbers and approve; the maths is precise, rules-based, and the same every time.
PDF, spreadsheet or scan: each statement is read and filed against its title, deal and period, with the figures extracted for you.
Gross, net payable and who is owed what, kept per statement period against the deal's terms. You check figures that are already in order instead of rebuilding them.
Every advance tracked against earnings, so 'has it earned out yet?' is a glance, not an afternoon of cross-referencing.
Advance and royalty invoices generated from the deal terms and emailed where they need to go. Your accounting stays in your own hands; the paperwork arrives ready to book.
What you stop doing
- Re-keying statement figures into a master spreadsheet
- Working out co-agent splits by hand every period
- Hunting for what is owed, what is invoiced and what is still unpaid
The room reads the same agency model as everything else: the deal terms, the advance and the splits are already on record, so a statement lands on a picture that already exists.
Royalty tracking software that reads the statements for you
Most royalty management software still expects someone to type the statements in. The Royalties room starts one step earlier: statements arrive in whatever format the publisher sends, get read and checked, and land as structured earnings against the right title, deal and period, with commission and co-agent splits already worked out and the earn-out position updated.
Is this royalty tracking software for agencies or publishers?
Both sides of the rights business use it, but it is built around the agency workflow: statements from many publishers in many formats, commission and co-agent splits on every line, and the client's share accounted for cleanly.
Do we still need our royalty spreadsheet?
No. The room becomes the system of record: every statement, split, advance and payment lives against its title and deal, and you can export whenever you want a familiar list.
What formats can it read?
PDF statements, spreadsheets, scans and email attachments. Messy layouts are read, checked against the contract terms, and flagged for review rather than silently guessed at.
