Post/Part Time Accounting

Your production accounting budget in focus

When you cannot justify a full time accountant through post-production and your production accountant chooses to bid you farewell in favour of full-time work, then Moneypenny UK has the part-time solution. We have experienced accountants that can take over the post at any time to see the project through to its conclusion. They are confident in working with the tax accountants in the preparation and audit of UK tax credit. Our affiliate offices overseas are comfortable working with multi-jurisdictional rebates in order to see them delivered and optimised.

We can also assist on productions with small budgets that cannot justify a full-time production accountant. Documentaries that need a day or two a month to produce a cost report and where the producer is able to make the payments, (low budget film or TV) talk to us about your project and let us tailor a financial solution for you.

If you are tempted to take advantage, via co-production of the financing opportunities available in Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, we can advise you on these through our affiliates and ensure a co-ordinated management of your budget and financing plan.

If you are planning a short-term visit to the UK, a location recce or a 2nd unit shoot, then we can take care of your payments so that you can avoid setting up a local company or bank accounts for such a project. If you arrive at a point when it becomes appropriate to establish a company, then we can assist with all the statutory requirements.

Give us a call and let us see how we can help.

Payroll Services

Unique web based system

The Moneypenny UK payroll division is supervised by Alan Steele who has 10 years experience looking after UK production payroll requirements and 15 years in the UK film industry prior to that. We take pride in our personal service to the production company and accounting team throughout the production and meeting your needs at year-end. In addition, we can provide data for HMRC audit or sourcing information for tax credit and future budgeting. Moneypenny payroll is more than a payroll service; it is a valuable resource that will be a significant part of your production's organisation.

A happy cast and crew is essential to a smooth running shoot and at the heart of that is them being paid correctly and on time. Alan and his team have a long history of doing exactly that and will go that extra mile to ensure that everyone is taken care of.

Accurate monthly and annual reporting to HMRC is essential for the peace of mind of an employer and as such the production company can rest assured that their interests are catered for. Moneypenny will be there for you in any event.

You may rely on our team for advice during your budgeting, pre-production and contracting stages. Advice is available regarding tax issues or terms and conditions applicable to any member of your cast and crew. We'll have the answers or will help find them.

We have affiliate payroll services in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United States and South Africa who have provided payroll solutions in Botswana, China, Cooke Islands, Fiji, India, Namibia and Vietnam. With so many productions spanning two or more countries in and out of Europe, we are confident that we can provide a consistent payroll solution across your entire production. Whatever the complexity, give us a call and let us help you.
