The film and television industry operates in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where multi-entity production structures, complex crew payrolls, and tight shooting schedules are the norm. From independent feature films and high-end TV (HETV) dramas to commercial production companies and freelance crew, navigating the sector’s financial rules demands specialist sector expertise.
Our dedicated media and entertainment accounting team has deep experience supporting production companies, directors, producers, and freelancers throughout the UK creative sector. Whether you are setting up a single-purpose vehicle (SPV) for a feature film, managing complex VAT on location spends, or balancing freelance contracts alongside Seven-Day Rule payrolls, we structure your accounting framework so your focus remains firmly on screen.
We go beyond basic bookkeeping to actively maximise your production funding and tax position. We guide production entities through the UK’s Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) and creative industry tax reliefs, help freelancers claim all allowable sector-specific expenses, and ensure full compliance with HMRC’s strict withholding tax and IR35 guidelines.
