About the assistant production accountant apprenticeship
The assistant production accountant role is part of the production accounting team, which works closely with the wider production management team. In pre-production (before shooting starts), production accountants help the producers and production managers prepare budgets and estimated final cost reports. During production and wrap (when production finishes), they oversee all payments, manage payroll and provide daily or weekly cost reports. They also produce costs forecasts to evaluate the impact of any production changes.
This is an entry-level assistant production accountant role for anyone 18 and over with maths and English language GCSE.
Assistant production accountant - apprenticeship standard/qualification (16 months)
Start dates: 23 May 2022 and 5 September 2022
