I’m a freelance production accountant with more than 15 years of experience supporting projects across film, television, and audio. My career began in the Entertainment & Media division at PwC, where I built a strong foundation in finance and compliance. Since then, I’ve specialized in high-end documentary and television work, partnering with production teams to deliver clean books and clear reporting.
I hold an Executive MBA from Hofstra University’s Zarb School of Business and work fully remotely, serving clients across the country.
Core Strengths:
Producers are at their best when they’re focused on the creative—the story, the talent, the shoot. But budgets, payroll, union filings, and cost reports? That’s where things can get messy, fast.
That’s where I come in.
I bring over a decade of experience in production accounting to keep your finances clean, your stakeholders informed, and your production moving forward. Whether you're prepping a docuseries, wrapping a season, or launching a new show, I provide calm, competent, deadline-driven support from first dollar to final wrap.
Develop, manage, and update production budgets that align with creative goals and financial realities, from early prep through final cost.
Deliver detailed cost reports, variance analysis, and forward-looking forecasts to keep stakeholders aligned and projects on track.
Manage all aspects of payroll processing, including union calculations, start paperwork (via SmartStart), and coordination with payroll vendors like Entertainment Partners.
Track, reconcile, and maintain clean records of production expenditures through petty cash and purchasing cards.
Ensure compliance with union rules and submission deadlines, including accurate reporting for DGA, WGA, SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, and Teamsters.
Deliver smooth wrap processes, clean reconciliations, and complete final cost reports for production closeout.
Work with new production teams or first-time producers to build strong accounting systems from the ground up—simple, scalable, and audit-ready.
Fully remote services with the flexibility to support teams on-location if needed. Available for short-term engagements or longer production cycles.
I’m currently accepting new clients for both short- and long-term projects
