About
I am available and can work in a studio office as well as in a hybrid role as required. I am based in Feltham, Southwest London and I am able to commute to most film studios and Central London easily.
As an experienced 1st Assistant Accountant in Film & HETV I am very passionate about working in the industry. I always support the Production Accountant/ Financial Controller, team, crew and the Production in every way possible within my capacity as I believe that as a Production, we are all one team. I am at home with communication at all levels as well as suppliers, vendors and institutions such as HMRC. I am grateful to have worked on many major studio productions (Warner Brothers, Paramount, Paramount Television, Universal Features, NBC Universal, Sony, Disney, Netflix, Boatrocker and Canal Plus) as well as British HETV ( Amazon, Apple TV and ITV Objective Media Group).
Over the years I have developed a very versatile skill set in the Accounts Department: All Payrolls (All UK Crew & Dailies, UK Equity Cast & Stunts, SAG, IATSE, WGA, WGGB, DGA payrolls as well as Background Artists), all aspects of AP including uploading daily urgent payments on the bank, Equals Cards and Bank of America Top up Cards, Petty Cash, Personal expenses, Travel and ATL payments. I have experience with using TPH, Sargent Disc, US Cast & Crew, EP Payrolls, PSL, DPO, Docusign, Adobe, Eclipse, PMI, Equals and a few other software packages.
I am used to and thrive in the fast pace of the film & HETV industry and changing priorities. I excel at juggling the shifts of priorities, tasks and deadlines in a multi-currency environment. Over time I have also gained a varied and broad experience of supporting FCs/ Production Accountants, cost reports as well as Accounting & Production teams.
I have experience managing teams, manning the office and have honed my communication and interpersonal skills to meet all the needed role requirements. I continue to develop and learn within the department and the industry. I have attended WB Leavesden trainings on Leadership & Management as well as MM v10 software. It is my pleasure to work closely with the team to deliver on tight deadlines and support the accurate cost report. Currently I am part of the PGGB Mentorship yearlong scheme as a mentee.
