The Remarkable Efficiency Of GreenSlate: A Post Accountant's Perspective

Heather Ransley, a Post Accountant with Omega Outpost, has extensive experience working with various production accounting and payroll software companies. Yet, despite her broad exposure, there's one platform she consistently hopes each production adopts — GreenSlate.

In her own words, Heather highlights the exceptional qualities of GreenSlate, emphasizing its unique features and efficiency. “GreenSlate’s single login and intuitive user interface is already impressive,” she begins, explaining how these elements form the foundation of an outstanding tool. But what truly sets GreenSlate apart, according to Heather, is “the integrated workflow and approval process,” which she describes as "genius."

Heather's role as a post-production accountant often puts her at the mercy of whatever systems production accountants choose. "I inherit shows," she says, highlighting the variability in software choices. Her preference is clear: “I always hope they’ve chosen GreenSlate.”

One of the major advantages Heather points out is the time efficiency GreenSlate offers. She notes, “The time it takes to get information requested from auditors, crew, cast representation, vendors, unions, and producers is significantly reduced” compared to other software.

This streamlined process, she says, is due to GreenSlate’s ability to store files and add internal notes to transactions. She describes this feature as "brilliant" and is appreciative of how easily she can obtain a complete history of a transaction. "I spend half the time working on a show with GreenSlate than I do with the competitors," she says, which not only boosts her efficiency but also allows her to charge less for shows using this platform.

GreenSlate’s service also stands out to Heather. “The team at GreenSlate is always available to help and train,” Heather says, praising GreenSlate's expertise. She elaborates, “They not only know the software, they know the job! They have helped me become better at my job.” 

Heather knows GreenSlate was developed with production accountants in mind, saying its “almost as if GreenSlate was developed for production accountants by production accountants!”

It is no coincidence that GreenSlate's CEO John Finn was a production accountant himself before founding GreenSlate.

Enthusiastic about GreenSlate’s impact on her work, Heather is eager to reveal its benefits to producers. "I can adjust my rate because after all, time is money and GreenSlate saves me time," she mentions, keen to eventually discuss these savings with producers. "I love being able to report savings instead of overages!”

She’s convinced about GreenSlate's capacity to transform her work environment and contribute to cost-efficiency in production accounting.

GreenSlate is an invaluable asset for post accountants like Heather Ransley, providing a seamless, efficient workflow that significantly reduces the time and effort required for various accounting tasks. 

The intuitive user interface, coupled with a comprehensive transaction history and responsive support team, makes it a standout choice for production accounting. For post accountants seeking to optimize their efficiency and enhance their service offerings, GreenSlate represents a tool that not only simplifies their tasks but also fosters professional growth, proving to be a critical ally for accountants.
