Financial Management
Built for Entertainment
Three focused services designed around the financial realities of productions, rights holders, and touring artists. Each one addresses a distinct part of entertainment finance — handled by people who understand how the industry works.
View ServicesSpecialized, Not General
General business accounting and entertainment industry accounting are not the same thing. Production budgets operate in cycles. Royalty income flows through multiple territories and contractual layers. Tour settlements involve venue splits, per-show costs, and promoter reconciliations that most accounting firms have never encountered.
Reelmath was built specifically for these contexts. Our services are structured around the workflows and financial instruments that define entertainment work — not adapted from a general-purpose model.
Three Areas of Practice
Production Accounting
Financial management for film, television, or media productions from pre-production through wrap. We track budgeted versus actual expenditures, manage petty cash and purchase orders, process vendor and crew payments, and prepare cost reports for producers and financiers.
- — Budget vs. actual expenditure tracking throughout the production cycle
- — Petty cash, purchase orders, vendor and crew payment processing
- — Cost reports prepared for producers and financiers
- — Hot-cost tracking during active production phases
For independent producers, production companies, and studios
Comprehensive tracking of royalty income and residual payments across distribution channels, territories, and rights holders. We reconcile statements from distributors, publishers, and platforms against contractual terms, identify discrepancies, and maintain a detailed royalty ledger.
- — Reconciliation of distributor, publisher, and platform statements
- — Identification of underpayments and contractual discrepancies
- — Detailed royalty ledger across territories and rights holders
- — Quarterly reports by title, territory, and format
For artists, producers, publishers, and rights management entities
Royalty & Residual Tracking
Tour & Event Financial Management
End-to-end financial management for touring productions, concert series, and live events. We handle advance budgeting, on-the-road expense tracking, settlement accounting with venues and promoters, and post-event financial reconciliation.
- — Advance budgeting and on-the-road expense tracking
- — Settlement accounting with venues and promoters
- — Post-event financial reconciliation and reporting
- — Per-show profit-and-loss summaries and tour-level reporting
For touring artists, event producers, and management companies

Who We Work With
Independent producers and production companies managing feature films, episodic series, and documentary projects.
Artists, labels, publishers, and rights management entities tracking royalties across streaming, sync, and physical distribution.
Touring artists, concert promoters, and event producers managing multi-venue financial operations and venue settlements.
Larger organizations seeking production cost transparency, co-production accounting, or rights portfolio oversight.
Engagement on Your Terms
Every engagement begins with a conversation. We take time to understand the nature of your project, the scope of your rights portfolio, or the structure of your tour before proposing a working arrangement.
Service terms are structured around actual need — whether that means a short production cycle, an ongoing quarterly arrangement, or a series of events across a touring season.
We work alongside your existing team where one exists, and we adapt to the tools and workflows already in place where that makes sense.
Initial Conversation
We discuss your situation, the scope of work, and what an engagement would look like in practice.
Scope Definition
We agree on the specific deliverables, reporting cadence, and communication channels before any work begins.
Active Engagement
Work proceeds with regular reporting and direct access to the team managing your account.
Delivery & Review
Final reports, cost analyses, or royalty summaries are delivered and reviewed with your team at close of engagement.
Start With a Conversation
If you're working on a production, managing rights across multiple territories, or preparing for a tour, we're happy to discuss how Reelmath might fit into your workflow. No pressure — just a straightforward conversation about your needs.
