Production budgeting built for line producers and accountants. Industry-standard formats, real-time actuals, purchase orders, and cost reports that update as money moves.
Not a generic spreadsheet with a template bolted on. Account codes, fringes, union rates, and above/below-the-line splits — the way your accountant expects them.
Build budgets in Feature Film, TV/Episodic, AICP Commercial, or Documentary formats. Standard account codes and category structures out of the box, ready for any studio or network.
Track spending as it happens. Purchase orders, petty cash, and vendor invoices update your actuals column in real time. No more end-of-week surprises when the numbers finally come in.
Create POs, route them for approval, and track fulfillment. Automatic budget impact shows remaining balance before anyone signs. The paper trail builds itself.
Generate deal memos from crew templates. Send for digital signature, track status, and tie the agreed rates directly to payroll and the budget. No more rate discrepancies.
Generate cost-to-date reports for producers and studio finance. Variance analysis shows exactly where you're over and under, by category and by shoot day. One click, any morning.
Export timecards and rate information to your payroll provider. Hours, overtime, kit rentals, and per diem calculated and formatted for industry payroll services like EP and ABS.
Every feature in Budgets was designed with production accountants and line producers. Real workflows, real formats, real accountability.
No more reconciling spreadsheets from three departments. Everyone works from the same budget, same actuals, same numbers. Discrepancies die on arrival.
Account codes, fringes, union rates, and above/below-the-line splits. Not a generic spreadsheet with a budget template. Built for the way production money actually moves.
Every change is logged. Every approval is timestamped. Every PO has a paper trail. When the studio asks, the answer is one click away. No scrambling at wrap.
Get early access to production budgeting that connects to your script, schedule, and actuals — all in one suite, all in real time.
