NOIR - Fashion's finance experts


Model Hideout is very pleased to introduce Noir wealth management, a financial advisory & wealth management service which specializes in the needs of Models and other Fashion industry professionals.

Noir are offering Model Hideout's models a FREE initial consultation for you to discuss any money questions or problems you might have, and to discover if Noir's expert services in managing money & tax affairs for models would benefit you, and also a FREE Tax Return accountancy service to help you correctly file your Self-Employed Tax return at the end of the financial year.

An introduction to Noir in the words of its founder, established international model Zabeena Harris:

      "With my experience and background I wanted to offer help and support to my industry. Over the years I have felt that financial help was never there when it was needed. As an international model for over 14 years I, together with fellow professionals have encountered a wide variety of financial obstacles which would not have presented a problem if appropriate advice had been available. Young models in particular I feel are vulnerable, often naive in financial matters and suddenly faced with a large amount of income without any real knowledge of how or where to invest, what kind of protection to have in place and in many cases what the tax implications are. These are just a few of the areas I want to address; consequently I set out to build a company that not only specialises in offering advice in these areas but also has an insight into our industry, its culture and its challenges."

As we all know, the accounting department of most model agencies do not give models any help or advice in matters such as: registering yourself as Self-employed, filing Tax returns, savings accounts, investing your money, tax-efficient financial planning... 
And if you, like so many models, are the first member of your family to be a self-employed worker then the whole system of managing your money and taxes can be overwhelming! Not forgetting that you get paid in many different countries and in many different currencies!
