Experienced production accountant with a strong background in film logistics.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented production accountant with over a decade of experience in the film industry, working with renowned companies such as Walt Disney Pictures, Netflix, and Paramount Pictures. My expertise lies in production accounting, where I manage accounts payable, project budgeting, and cost reporting, ensuring that productions remain on budget and meet strict deadlines. My role as a payroll accountant involves onboarding crew members and managing complex timecard systems, allowing me to maintain a comprehensive crew bible that secures tax incentives across multiple states.
In addition to my accounting skills, I have a proven track record as a production coordinator and location manager. I excel in overseeing logistics for large-scale productions, negotiating contracts, and managing the procurement of essential services and equipment. My experience at Argus Corporation as an Account Receivable Manager has further honed my ability to interface with high-profile clients, ensuring timely payments and maintaining positive relationships. I am also a skilled videographer and editor, bringing a creative edge to my technical expertise.
