Adeptus Partners Leadership Recognized by The Hollywood Reporter as Hollywood’s Top Business Managers of 2022

By Michelle Stone

CEO, Managing Partner, and Founder Howard Krant and Business Management Partner David Levin were recognized for their outstanding management in sports and entertainment.

On October 19, 2022, Adeptus CEO, Founder and Managing Partner, Howard Krant, and Business Management Partner, David Levin, were honored by The Hollywood Reporter for their sharp insight into managing the finances of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the entertainment industry, from athletes to musicians. The Hollywood Reporter recognized Adeptus Partners’ notable clients including boywithauke on Tik Tok, Chrissy Teigan, and Hailey Bieber. It also recognized the company’s quick growth, especially with musicians, including John Legend, Imagine Dragons, and Lake Street Dive, which represents a new movement in the music industry. According to Krant, musicians want to monetize their assets more now than ever, but there are many risks that only the most careful business planning can protect. 

“We are honored to be recognized by The Hollywood Reporter for Adeptus Partners’ expertise as leaders in Business Management,” said Krant. “Our personalized approach allows us to build strong, long-term relationships. We realize that this is a team effort, and I appreciate David’s partnership and leadership, as well as our other Business Management Partners including Alice Lee, Lewis Stark, and Richard Goldstein.”

Unfortunately, long-term wealth is not guaranteed in the entertainment and sports business without a plan due to its cyclical nature. A strong business plan and smart investments offer Hollywood’s top performers wealth that can extend throughout their lifetime and contributes to generations of financial prominence. However, building wealth can be tumultuous, with many complications, underpayment, and unexpected financial troubles. Read more about the potential impacts of cyclical income of entertainers and athletes and how they are addressed in this article.

Careful business planning for performers highlights Krant and Levin’s honor as Top Business Managers of 2022. This recognition emphasizes the growth of the once-small company that started with two people in 1985 and now has over 100 professionals in 2022.
