About

+44 (0)7447723991

Financial Controller / Key Production Accountant with experience managing multi-million-dollar, multi-currency budgets ranging from $10M to $80M across both high and low-budget feature films and Band 3 & 4 HETV productions.
I place a high value on fostering strong collaborative relationships with Line Producers and Studio Executives. Having worked my way up from Clerk to Financial Controller, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the importance of teamwork with Heads of Department (HODs) and crew—both to facilitate day-to-day accounting and cost tracking, and to foster a positive working environment.
I’m based in London but am available and happy to travel, both locally and internationally. I’ve worked throughout the UK, including Wales, Scotland, and NI, and have extensive international experience, navigating the unique challenges of production in locations such as Italy, Spain, Hungary, Romania, Mexico, Morocco, the US, and Canada.
I am highly experienced in working within major studio environments, where compliance with studio procedures is essential. However, my varied background also allows me to thrive on projects that require setup from the ground up.
My expertise includes budgeting, cost reporting, multi-currency cash flow, US/UK cast and crew payroll, international payroll, UK and international VAT returns, and tax
