Showbiz Budgeting 10

The only budgeting software you’ll ever need powers flexible and actualized finance for modern productions of any type and scale. From independent features to tentpoles, commercials and industrials, or live events, Showbiz Budgeting 10 allows you to easily budget, track, and report expenses.

These are 10 things you’ll love about Showbiz Budgeting 10:

1. Cloud: In addition to a robust desktop application, an optional in-program monthly or annual cloud subscription allows you to set permissions, collaborate, and share every aspect of your budget in real-time. You call the shots by setting permissions for collaborators in detail. Budget owners can grant users view-only or editing access, and limit other users to specific functions, phases or categories, as well as printing, duplicating, and saving. Collaborators can even work on the budget when the budget owner is offline.
2. Actualization: Not only do you have the power to plan a production budget, you can actively track costs during production. Seamlessly import payroll expenses from Media Services, CAPS, or Showbiz Timecards. Track credit, check, electronic funds transfers (EFTs), and invoice expenses. Import digital petty cash envelopes and purchase orders.
3. Dynamic Currency Links: Working abroad has never been easier with currency links that work like magic. When enabled, detail items are linked to specific currencies, with exchange rates you can edit. And, when you do edit, those changes automatically adjust across your budget.
4. 100+ Customizable Templates: No need to start with a blank page, built-in fully customizable templates reach the standards of the AICP, major studios, independent filmmakers, and just about any production type you can think of.
5. Enhanced Overtime Tiers: Ask and you shall receive! Detail items now have five overtime tiers with pay multiples that can be edited individually.
6. Robust Reporting: It’s simple to customize and export a multitude of reports as PDFs to keep your production on track and compliant. Download, share, or print a production full budget summary, accounts and details, cost reports and calendars, petty cash reports and envelopes, purchase order logs, and more.
7. Phases: Whether your filming across state lines or in opposite hemispheres, phases allows you to break your budget and actualized budget up into distinct parts, which makes it easy to provide qualifying evidence for production incentives no matter where you are.
8. Integrations: Making the switch is as easy as importing your Movie Magic budgets or Point Zero and Powerbid actuals and getting to work. Collaborate and track expenses with other software including Yamdu and Showbiz Timecards.
9. Purchase Orders: Forget making purchase orders manually. As production costs are entered, Showbiz Budgeting tallies expenses against each PO and when it’s time to do business with your vendor, simply customize and hit send.
10. Globals, Sub-Groups, and Fringes: What can become time consuming is made easy with tools that make creating and updating globals, sub-groups, and fringes a snap. Once you do make a change, the entire budget updates automatically.
