My goal with the accountable artist is to build a world in which creatives aren’t daunted by accounting.
Hi, I’m Aaron Clift.
I’m a musician who also happens to be great at accounting. After graduating with a double major in music and Spanish from Tufts University in 2003, I simultaneously began my music career in music composition and performance and my accounting career as manager for a residential property agency and later as controller for an IT consulting firm.

the accountable artist.
As my music colleagues got word that I not only mastered accounting but could explain in a way that made sense to creative people, they began asking me if I could help them understand their finances. I created The Accountable Artist in 2019 to respond to this demand.
My goal with The Accountable Artist is to build a world in which creatives aren’t daunted by accounting but rather are able to apply it to their business with the same mastery that they’ve reached in their creative field.
I currently live in Austin, Texas (“Live Music Capital of the World”) with my wife – food photographer, Mica McCook – and my goofy pit bull, Moxy. I’m the vocalist and keyboardist of the progressive rock band, The Aaron Clift Experiment, and I’m a proud member of Austin Music Foundation. Aside from passion for music and accounting, I’m an avid traveler and cook, and I love a good conversation in Spanish.
