I served as the producer and production accountant for many branded content projects for Fortune 500 clients. I was required to produce projects in the United States and Latin America; I managed the preliminary accounting, pricing and hiring for crew members (above and below-the-line) and daily operations including all locations, rentals, meals and per diems, etc. At wrap, I was single handedly responsible for turning over a final production cost report to our clients. In this role, I was produced our television show that was shot internationally, and alone managed the international accounting aspects of the episodes that filmed abroad. I worked to establish relationships with Co-Producers in various countries we filmed in including areas like Mexico, South America and Cuba.
