Hear what our clients say

“ATLA have been our accountants for twelve years and it’s no exaggeration to say we would not have made it through COVID without their dedicated service and highly professional advice. They know our industry inside and out, they understand the way we operate, and they have encouraged and educated us to become more confident business operators. We would not hesitate to recommend them to other screen professionals looking for accounting services.”

Margaret Tillson

Screen Producer & Industry Consultant

“We used ATLA for our production of an independent film Ruby’s Choice. They were with us every step of the way, from preproduction to set production accounting, to government applications and I highly recommend them.” “ATLA is a great listening company catering to all the needs of independent producers, and I can’t recommend them enough.”

Michael Budd

Director, Ruby’s Choice

“ATLA are more than accountants, they’re your partners in film, and will stand by you through thick and thin. They have your back. It’s been a real pleasure working with Matt and his team on our first production and I can’t imagine diving into the next without their support.”

Nadi Sha

Director, Everything in Between

“I’ve been a client at ATLA for five years and it’s so helpful getting Matt’s perspective given his producing background. It’s the assurance I get from Matt and his team that makes the difference, not only in relation to production accounting, but also advice in understanding and navigating aspects of the process that I’m unsure about, and knowing m questions will be answered and service delivered, every time.”

Dinusha Ratnaweera

Freelance Screen Producer

“I’ve worked with ATLA across many film projects, and they are dedicated and knowledgeable. They take the time to understand a project’s requirements and are quick to provide advice and turn around essential payments, so it’s easier for me to focus on all the other aspects of delivering a film.”

Shannon Wilson-McClinton

Producer, Superlative Pictures

“As a specialist in film and TV and personal tax, I really appreciate Matthew’s knowledge, foresight, and easy going nature. For 10 years I’ve put a lot of trust in Matthew and his team, their work is always excellent and they always handle my need for information with grace and professionalism.”
