Advising individuals and businesses across the film industry is what our team does best.
With a long history of advising producers and exhibitors, to cast and crew, post-production houses, financiers and distributors, our passion and unmatched knowledge for film accountancy services is what drives us to fulfil our clients’ demands.
In the highly complex world of film production finances, we’ve worked on Hollywood blockbusters, independent films, art house titles and low and micro-budget features.
Films we’ve worked on include:
- Banshees of Inisherin,
- Knives Out 2 – Glass Onion,
- Pinocchio, and

Away from production, we provide a wide range of audit and accountancy advice to financiers, distributors, studios and companies in the post-production sector, along with advice on employment tax issues and tax planning opportunities.
