My Role

My main office role in UFilms is the accountant, I am in charge of the money the business has and when it is spent. I write the contracts and invoices for the clients, it is my job to know when clients need to pay and remind them of payment, either directly or through the project manager and correspondent in the business. I am in charge of the money tin, myself and Boss Lady have keys but I will write in the accounts book when money is taken out and when money comes in. When money needs to be spent we agree as a group on the product being bought, looking for the best and cheapest option. 

I wrote a variety of contracts and some which will be changed project to project, the first contract is a contract of pay which is the client agreeing that they will pay us within our terms and conditions. The other contract is a work contract which details what the project entails and the agreed price. The contracts are both very simple and similar in layout, they have the UFilms logo at the top as well as the date. 

The invoices are issued to the client with the finished product, they have the logo at the top as well as the invoice date and reference number. To correspond there is a table which documents which invoices are which and when they were issued so that payment can be tracked easier. Th invoice clearly states that the client has one month to pay from the issue date. 

As well as this I will go to meetings and write up meeting minutes, work as a camera operator at any project needed, complete pre-production paperwork and on-set production management duties.
