There’s a complex world behind the lights, camera, and action of the entertainment and media industry. While companies in other industries may have a straightforward business model and revenue structure, businesses that operate in the entertainment sphere tend to be more varied. With fluctuating cash flows, project-based finances, and diverse revenue streams, managing the finances and accounting functions of these businesses requires a specialized team with the right tools and expertise
