"Sage Intacct lets us report by title, by team, by transaction—whatever we need. And we can do it all without manipulating spreadsheets outside the system."
Finance that moves at production speed
Producing a film or series involves a whirlwind of moving parts cast, crew, locations, post-production, financing structures—and every one of them comes with a budget. When those budgets shift, your finance system needs to flex with them.
That’s where Sage Intacct comes in.
At itas, we help film and TV production companies get full financial visibility without the workarounds. No more bending your chart of accounts to track each production. No more chasing spreadsheets. Just reliable, real-time reporting—by project, by phase, by entity.
