Production Bookkeeper (Film & TV)

Location: Remote, with some client location visits (including production offices)

Salary: Dependent on experience

Contract: Full-time

Role Overview

We’re a relationship-led accountancy practice supporting a portfolio of Film & TV production clients. We’re looking for an experienced Bookkeeper to support production finance teams with accurate, timely processing across the day-to-day transactions that keep a show moving.

You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment, juggling multiple priorities and tight deadlines. You’ll support purchase order and invoice workflows, supplier onboarding, reconciliations (bank, cards and petty cash/float), and accurate coding of costs so production reporting is reliable. Strong Excel skills are essential, along with experience using accounting software.

Previous bookkeeping experience is essential, alongside a proactive mindset, great attention to detail, and the confidence to query anomalies early. You’ll be a clear communicator who can build trusted relationships with production managers, coordinators, heads of department and suppliers, while handling sensitive information with discretion.

In return, you’ll join a friendly, supportive team in a varied and engaging role. You’ll be encouraged to develop your production finance skills, grow your career, and share ideas in a positive culture that values collaboration, accuracy and flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Process purchase orders, invoices and supplier payments, ensuring correct approvals and cost coding (e.g., by department, shoot unit, episode).
• Maintain accurate ledgers and journals, including bank, credit card and petty cash/float reconciliations.
• Set up suppliers and maintain documentation (e.g., onboarding details and compliance information as required by the production).
• Support accounts payable and accounts receivable, including raising/processing invoices and managing queries with suppliers.
• Track and post day-to-day transactions promptly so production reporting is up to date.
• Support weekly/monthly reporting packs and balance sheet reconciliations (e.g., accruals/prepayments where required).
• Work closely with production teams (production office, HODs and the production accountant/manager) to resolve issues quickly and keep spend under control.
• Support start-up and wrap tasks such as opening/closing accounts, archiving, and ensuring documentation is complete.
• Attend client/production office visits when required and represent the company professionally on site.
