The Australian Film Projects Chart of Accounts is a practical, industry aligned tool that helps producers keep their financial information organised from the very start of a project. Built specifically for Xero accounting software to match Screen Australia’s A-Z budget structure, it ensures your budget, software and Producer Offset reporting all speak the same language.
Whether you’re setting up a new production or strengthening systems on an existing one, this chart provides a clear framework for coding expenses, tracking costs and preparing accurate reports for funders, auditors and the ATO. Download the file, load it into your Xero accounting software, and it becomes simple to search and use—no need to memorise hundreds of codes.
Start with the Quick Reference Guide if you’re new or download the full Excel file if you’re ready to implement.
