Company

Made by business managers who work with artists, actors and creators every day.

Keylight Labs is built by Keylight Advisory, a San Diego business management firm for artists, actors and creators. It started in 2018 as Miplly Accounting, founded by H.B. Baptiste after a successful exit from a previous marketing company. In 2025, H.J. Collins joined as CEO, bringing deep experience in entertainment business management, and the firm rebranded as Keylight Advisory.

Not every creator needs a full business manager, but every creator deserves to understand their money. So we built Keylight Labs. AI does the heavy lifting: it sorts every payment and expense, spots what's owed or out of place, and explains your numbers in plain English. Behind it is the judgment of a team that does this for clients every day. And when you're ready for more, we're a call away.
