Client Case Study
Automated Commission Reporting for a Working Musician
How we helped Matthew Kopp of Running Touch replace manual spreadsheets with a custom commission tracking system — cutting reporting time by over 70% and unlocking real-time clarity on earnings.
About the Client
Matthew Kopp, Running Touch
A professional musician earning across live performances, royalties and creative collaborations — operating through a trust structure with real reporting needs.
Matthew came to IGNIITE Business Solutions with a problem familiar to many self-employed creatives: income flowing in from multiple platforms, but no reliable, repeatable way to track what was earned, what was owed, and what had landed in the bank. The admin was eating into time that should have been spent on music.
01 — The Challenge
Commission tracking that didn't keep up with the work
Income from gigs, royalties and collaborations was being captured in scattered spreadsheets and statements. The result was a workflow that was:
Manual and time-consuming to maintain
Prone to calculation errors across platforms
Difficult to reconcile against payments received
Lacking real-time visibility into earnings
The flow-on effects were just as costly: uncertainty around cash flow, slower financial decision-making, and a steady drain of administrative hours that should have been spent creating.
02 — Our Approach
A tailored system built around how the income actually flows
We started where every good system starts — with the client. We mapped Matthew’s income streams, reporting requirements and existing workflow, then designed a solution focused on automation, accuracy and simplicity.
03 — The Outcome
Immediate, measurable, and built to last
The transformation was felt straight away — in time saved, in accuracy, and in the quality of the financial picture.
- Less admin
- More music
- Scalable as the career grows
Client Impact
Less admin. More music.
Matthew now spends less time on administration and more time focused on his music and business growth. With reliable reporting and clear financial insights, he’s better equipped to make informed decisions about future projects, tours and collaborations — backed by data, not guesswork.
