Publisher feedback
"As a small independent publisher, managing our sales data and royalties payments has for too long been a horribly painful aspect of running our business, and we've been looking for an affordable, professional software to help us for years now.
Royalties HQ has come to our rescue, and is an extremely impressive, intuitive and user-friendly software, which is affordable, and is designed to work for publishers of any scale, and with any number of complicated and unconventional royalty arrangements.
Dan Brady's dedication and generosity in helping us through the set-up process was invaluable, and it is such a huge relief to be up and running, and to no longer dread our next royalty run. I can't recommend it highly enough."
"After years of searching for a program to help our small publishing company manage the daunting task of royalty tracking, we have finally found the answer in Royalties HQ. What was a dreaded cumbersome task, requiring months of work, Royalties HQ has transformed to a straightforward series of steps resulting in detailed reports and customizable statements for our royalty holders.
The system is modern, attractive and easy to navigate. Additionally, so much information that was previously scattered about in various folders and spreadsheets has now coalesced into this one beautiful program. Dan provided stellar customer service as he took time to transfer our data to RHQ and help us learn the ropes. Royalties HQ was the most beneficial and significant upgrade to our business this past year.
Highly recommended!"

Complex contract rules
Royalties HQ supports complex contract rules, including tiered royalties, variable percentages based on discount rate, units sold, country of sale, and more.

Easy to use, nothing to install
Royalties HQ is intuitive, web-based software, accessible wherever you have an internet connection. Built by book publishers, it ‘just works’.
Advances
Create advances for single titles, single title formats (e.g. an ebook format of a title), or groups of titles. Earned royalties for relevant ISBNs pay off advances first.
In-built error checking
Royalties HQ helps you to avoid errors by nudging you when ISBNs or rights holder (author) data is missing.
One-click royalty statements
Generate a professional royalty statement PDF for each rights holder, in one click. And one more click to email those statements direct to all rights holders.
Simplified accounting and payments
For each royalty run, download a CSV of all rights holder bills for importing into your accounting software, ready to be paid as part of your normal pay run. You can even use Royalties HQ to track who has been paid.
Royalty periods
Royalties HQ has you covered whether you report royalties monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, 6-monthly, or annually – or a mix.
Store documents
Save contracts (or other PDF and Word files) against each rights holder. No more hunting for contracts.
