The following jobs are within the department Production Accountancy on a motion picture.

• Financial Controller
• Production Accountant
• Accounts Assistant

In Australian A-Z Budget — Feature Films these roles are in section C.2 Production Accountancy.

Production Accountancy is Below-The-Line. The-Line is said to differentiate the team responsible for the creative control of a motion picture from the technicians and crafts-people who make the film. More accurately Above-The-Line personnel are attached during the Development phase of a production while Below-The-Line crew are hired once the financing is in place and Preproduction begins. Costume, Art and Makeup departments are creative, but they still fall Below-The-Line.

Production Accountancy is considered Labour by unions such as MEAA so their minimum rates of pay are defined in the standard industrial agreements for each production sector.
