Amid few budgeting programs for Entertainment Industry producers, high costs and low budgets often force producers to head toward a spreadsheet on their computer. These make-do spreadsheets are often reliable, but take a little time to put together and are somewhat cumbersome, at times with little flexibility.
The 'Producer's Budget' is a professionally designed Excel spreadsheet which bridges the gap between makeshift spreadsheet budgets and the top of the line professional budgeting software, and at a fraction of the cost.
The 'Producer's Budget' is made up of 6 mutually communicating spreadsheets, an instructions page and a friendly index. Each spreadsheet is dedicated to one aspect of setting up and viewing your budget. It will enable you to set up the categories that are relevant to your particular project, create a budget, and track your spending, before, during and after the production.
