What we provide

Royalty operations, built for scale

From rights data maintenance to multi-territory royalty statements — every layer of the reporting workflow managed through SMG's infrastructure.

01

Royalty Reporting & Statements

Per-track, per-territory royalty statements generated from DSP revenue data — structured to give rights holders clear visibility into earnings and their sources.

02

Rights Data Management

Maintaining accurate records of sound recording ownership, territory configurations, ISRC assignments and release metadata — the foundation for reliable royalty calculations.

03

Revenue Splits

Automated application of agreed-upon royalty split arrangements across multiple stakeholders, reducing the manual reconciliation burden on labels and rights holders.

04

DSP Revenue Processing

Revenue reports from streaming platforms and digital stores are ingested, validated and processed through SMG's accounting infrastructure before statements are generated.

05

Multi-Territory Visibility

Consolidated reporting across markets, giving catalog owners a unified view of revenue performance without the need to aggregate data from multiple DSP portals separately.

06

Operational Accuracy

Rights and royalty data is reviewed for consistency and accuracy as part of ongoing operations — reducing the risk of misattribution and improving statement reliability over time.

Accounting infrastructure

Powered by LUNA Accounting

SMG's royalty operations run on LUNA Accounting — a financial infrastructure platform built specifically for music rights management. LUNA processes DSP revenue data, applies split arrangements and generates structured royalty statements for rights holders at scale.

Rights holders working with SMG gain access to reporting derived from LUNA's data processing, without needing to build or maintain their own accounting infrastructure.
