High-end TV and film production accountant training

This online course for High-end TV and/or film production accountants is an opportunity for those with over 3 years' experience to refine their knowledge, improve their management skills and further understand production accountant processes. 

Bespoke specialist training delivered by industry leaders is designed to run alongside work or personal commitments and is open to applicants from across the UK. Participants will be supported through practical learning with an holistic approach to the interpersonal skills needed to survive the wider industry culture.

The course will also cover the core elements of being a production accountant such as cost reporting, payroll, understanding budgets as well as discussion around best practice, guidance on the lived experience of being a senior key crew member and understanding the importance of the role.

There will also be a focus on management skills addressing areas such as workflows, part-time team members, managing time zones, remote departmental management and the recruitment process. 

This programme is supported by the ScreenSkills High-end TV and Film Skills Funds with contributions from UK film and high-end TV productions.
