Bookkeeping Built for Production, Deadlines & Growth

From production budgets and cost reports to payroll and compliance, Complete Controller keeps your finances accurate and reliable-so you can focus on delivering unforgettable content on time and on budget.

Industry Expertise

We Understand Production & Entertainment Companies

Running a production or creative company means juggling fast turnarounds, complex crews, vendor networks, location costs, post-production, and razor-thin margins. From estimating and budget builds to purchase orders, WIP tracking, retainers, and mixed payroll (crew, talent, and staff), one missed detail can derail the schedule-and your profitability.

At Complete Controller, we help studios, production companies, post houses, agencies, and live-event teams streamline bookkeeping, track profitability by project, episode, or client, and keep cash flow predictable-so you can focus on creating standout work.
