The Accountant

Most production companies employ the services of an accountant to provide exact statements and information about a company's financial position. The services of an accountant are particularly sought for the completion of end of financial year tax returns and to assist with VAT payments.

Small companies may not be able to afford an accountant on a regular basis and will do their own book keeping and accounts.
