Description

Hello, my name is Augusta and I am a Production Accountant with 15+ years experience.

I have worked on multiple productions from small scale to very large scale budgets across Factual, Non-Scripted, Daytime and Entertainment sectors.

My past work experience has enabled me to develop excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. I know how to manage budgets of different scales effectively and can liaise with different departments internally and externally when needed, to obtain information and resolve any queries. I am always willing to learn things and a great believer of teamwork but knowing that I can also work well alone using my own initiative. I am a very organised and hardworking person with a flexible attitude. I am a confident self-motivator who always strives to maintain a helpful and logical attitude in my work.

I also have a great interest in the Film and Drama sectors, and would be happy to assist on any projects in these areas.
