Accounting and consulting for the film industry

Producing films is about creativity, quality, precision, large investments and complex projects. At Aider, we know the industry and how important it is to have a financial partner who is close at hand every step of the way - from idea and planning to production and finished result.

Get in touch

We can assist with:

- We're happy to get involved as early as the development phase to ensure a sound financial foundation. An early dialog provides a better overview of funding needs, support schemes and budget frameworks - and makes it easier to make good decisions along the way.
- We set up budgets and project accounts that meet the requirements of funders, support schemes and the production's own structure. Our solutions give you full control of your finances throughout the production.
- We work closely with production controllers to ensure that the figures are up-to-date, understandable and useful in the creative process. This provides a comprehensive picture of the production's finances - in real time.
- We help find and manage the right funding sources, support schemes and cash flow plans, so that the production has the security of knowing that the funds will be there when it matters most.
- Once shooting is underway, we're easily accessible and provide ongoing reports to give you peace of mind during a hectic production period. We're a partner you can reach when you need us - not just a supplier in the background.
- Our advisors are familiar with the requirements of, among others, NFI, investors and distributors, and ensure that reporting, documentation and auditing meet industry standards.
- Film projects can stretch over a long period of time - that's why we emphasize stable teams and good continuity. You'll have permanent contacts who know your project and your industry.

With the customer in focus

EN NASJON I SJAKK is a Norwegian feature film that has truly experienced a financial rollercoaster. The project went from being fully financed to coming to an abrupt halt when a bank pulled out of

the interim financing. After a year's delay, it got back on track - with Aider and Maiken Wiker as supporters throughout the journey.

- "Having an accounting expert who is accessible, proactive and sees what's coming before it hits us is worth its weight in gold. Aider has given us time to maneuver safely," says producer Stig Haug.

Aider has tailored the project accounts to both producer requirements and support schemes. The result? Less time spent on paperwork, fewer errors - and more time for creativity. And not least: a producer who sleeps better at night.
