Post-production is one of the most critical and costly stages of TV and Film production. Managing complex workflows, multiple teams, and tight deadlines can become overwhelming without a strong financial system in place. In this blog, we explore how purpose-built accounting software, like Just-TV from Creative Total Media, empowers post-production teams to work smarter, track spending in real-time, and reduce inefficiencies all under one unified Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform.
The post-production process is fast-paced, detail-driven, and often unpredictable. Yet, many production houses still rely on outdated tools or disconnected systems to manage finances leading to missed deadlines, budget overruns, and data silos.
Fragmented Tools Create Frustration
From sound design to colour grading, every step of post-production involves people, resources, and spend. When financial data is scattered across spreadsheets, emails, or legacy software, it becomes nearly impossible to track actual costs in real time.
Lack of Visibility Impacts Decision-Making
Post-production teams need real-time visibility into budgets and costs not static reports generated at month’s end. Without up-to-date data, decisions are based on guesswork, not facts. This leads to inefficient resource allocation and costly mistakes.
At Creative Total Media, we’ve spent over 20 years immersed in the TV and Film industry. We’ve seen firsthand how the lack of a centralised, intelligent financial platform slows down productions. That’s why we created Just-TV: a complete production accounting solution designed by experts, for experts.
All Your Finances in One Place
Just-TV consolidates all your production financials into a single, secure Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform. From managing petty cash and payroll to tracking vendor invoices and approvals, everything lives in one place accessible anytime, from anywhere.
Built for Real-Time, On-the-Go Decisions
Just-TV empowers production managers, accountants, and producers with real-time dashboards and live reporting tools. Need to see how much you've spent on VFX last week? Or how do your actuals compare to your budget today? It’s all just a click away.
Tailored to the Way You Work
No two productions are the same and we get that. Just-TV is flexible, scalable, and designed to reflect the unique needs of every role on your team. Whether you're a line producer, CFO, or freelance production accountant, you’ll find tools that work the way you do.
The Business Case for Streamlining Post-Production Accounting
Save Time with Automation
Manual processes slow you down and introduce risk. Just-TV automates key workflows like approvals, reconciliations, and expense tracking saving time and reducing costly errors.
Improve Collaboration and Control
Because Just-TV lives on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, it seamlessly integrates with tools your team already uses like Excel, Teams, and Outlook. This improves collaboration across finance, operations, and creative teams while maintaining tight financial control.
Make Informed, Confident Decisions
With a unified view of your data and clear financial reporting, your team can make better business decisions whether that’s adjusting spend, reallocating resources, or planning for the next phase of production.
The post-production phase can make or break a project. Without the right financial infrastructure, even the most creatively ambitious teams risk falling behind.
At Creative Total Media, we’re not just software providers, we're partners in your production journey. Our flagship solution, Just-TV, is helping TV and Film companies across the industry stay on budget, save time, and stay ahead.
Let’s streamline your post-production finances.
