Accounting Built Around Production
We know production businesses aren’t like traditional companies.
Income can change from project to project. Freelancers come and go. Budgets need to be
tracked and there are plenty of deadlines.
That’s why we provide production accounting designed specifically for you and your crew.
No matter the size of your company, we work alongside your team to ensure your finances stay
as organised as your productions.
Your Accounting, Your Way
Whether you’re looking for someone to simply keep everything compliant or a trusted advisor who helps improve profitability, we can help.
We Keep The Ball Rolling Behind The Scenes
You want your bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts handled efficiently, freeing up your time to focus on your craft. We’ll take care of the financial admin so you don’t have to.
“They were the helping hand I needed when I started to sink running the accounts of my start-up. Operating Xero was taking too much of my time – they sorted it, and helped me get my business onfirm and sustainable footing.”

Production Accountants Who Understand.
One month you’re wrapping a commercial shoot, the next you’re assembling crews for multiple productions while chasing client payments and juggling freelancer invoices.
We’ve built our services around the way production businesses actually operate.
We understand:
● Project-based finances
● Freelance crews and contractor payments
● Production budgets
● Client invoicing
● Cash flow between productions
● Creative industry tax considerations
● Cloud accounting and real-time reporting
That means less time explaining to us how your industry works, and more time growing it.

No More Financial Firefighting
Many production companies only speak to their accountant once a year.
That means missed opportunities, poor visibility over cash flow and an unnecessary feeling of working in the dark.
We believe accounting should help you make better decisions all year round.
Whether you’re prepping for your next production, planning budgets ahead of time or sorting out invoices post-production, we can help.
Instead of reacting to problems, you’ll stay ahead of them.
