Purchase order
About
Production accounting deserves a connected system.
We connect financial records so film and audiovisual production teams can understand their costs without having to reconstruct the context.

BUD-5200Open Cost-report effect
Why this matters.
A budget shows what was planned, an invoice what was charged, and an approval the decision behind it. Apart, understanding one cost becomes a search through files, messages and spreadsheets.
We keep those records connected as the production moves, so reviewing a cost starts with understanding it rather than finding the pieces.
The principles behind the work.
Records stay connected
A cost keeps its purchase order, source document and decision, so understanding one never means reassembling the rest.

Judgement stays with people
Assistance prepares a first pass. Coding, approval and posting stay with a named person you can ask.

Portugal and the European direction
Abacist is built by Fontainhas Brothers in Portugal. We focus on production finance, and aim over time to reflect the funding, tax and banking contexts European productions work in.
Roadmap direction: these European capabilities are not available today.
