As a production accountant with ten years of film and television experience, I oversee budgets, cost reports and forecasts using Movie Magic, Showbiz Budgeting and advanced Excel dashboards. I process union payroll for IATSE, SAG-AFTRA and DGA, manage accounts payable/receivable, and negotiate vendor contracts to optimize cash flow. Leveraging deep knowledge of tax incentives—including New Jersey’s Film & Digital Media Tax Credit—I maximize rebates and savings. I deliver audit-ready month-end closes, ensure compliance and provide producers with real-time variance analyses that drive informed decisions. A collaborative leader, I mentor junior staff and align financial discipline with creative vision, having supported major studios such as Warner Bros., Paramount and Blumhouse. Ideal for New Jersey’s TV & Film productions.
