Hollywood Budgets connects structured budgeting, cashflow, rebates, carbon and live cost tracking in one secure cloud platform built for production companies, finance teams and studio reporting environments.
Replace disconnected spreadsheets and static files with a structured platform that keeps budget, cost tracking, cashflow and episodic reporting in sync.
Build your budget and generate your initial cashflow in the same platform. Issue revised cashflows instantly as production evolves — without rebuilding spreadsheets.
Clean qualifying / non-qualifying separation is embedded at source. Generate rebate-ready grid views instantly without manual restructuring.
Track actuals, forecast variances, and revise estimates to complete inside the same structured environment that holds your budget.
Integrated carbon tracking, variance visibility, and automated offset costs built directly into your production budget.
Productions are under growing pressure to reduce emissions and report their environmental impact. Hollywood Budgets keeps carbon visible inside everyday budgeting rather than pushing it into a separate system.
Carbon-aware columns in Details view behave like financial variance columns. They show estimated impact, track changes between versions and can apply an optional carbon cost when an offset rate is set.
Review carbon estimates early, compare versions and focus on categories like travel, generators, construction and freight. Carbon data also flows into exports, reports, variance summaries and version comparisons.
