Book excerpt: This book gives readers an entry-level overview of what it is like to work in the accounting office of a TV show or film. Geared for newcomers to accounting, production, or both, it explains in moderate detail the daily life of the clerk in a production accounting office. The tone is playful and wry, less like a formal textbook and more like a personal meeting with a friendly expert. The book concentrates on production-specific tasks and responsibilities, such as breaking down time cards for background actors and ensuring each member of the film crew receives the correct tax forms, with brief primers throughout on accounting basics like working with purchase orders and accounts payable. When a reader has finished the book, they will have a solid understanding of the type of work involved in production accounting, what will be expected of them when they are just starting out, and what a long-term career in production accounting looks like. If they were unsure when they began reading, they should know whether or not this is a career they want to pursue, and they should feel prepared to seek out their first job in the field.So far, there are no books about production accounting on the market. Accounting in Hollywood is its own beast, and books on the basics of accounting in general will not prepare newcomers to the field for the specific demands of the job the way this book will.
