Production Accountant Credit

I totally agree! 

Accountants are the first position hired after the showrunner, thats how important they are!   OK every now and then a producer is hired first... but the first question the producer asks is "WHO is the accountant?"     How are they buried in credits when the entire show hinges upon their numbers.  They work the longest on the production - they are the producer's right hand, they are the only position to deal with every single other department of every show.   They are truly more the producer of the show than the PRODUCER most of the time!   GIVE THEM THEIR JUST DUE!   thank you.

This is a good suggestion, I want to see my name in the credits on IMDB. Ps, it's too early to think of something witty and humorous, apologies.

thanks to all who started this an have contributed. 100% agree. time to be recognised by the wider film community in a meaningful manner. cheers

I agree 100%

Our work doesn't specifically end up on screen but a production wouldn't last long without us!  IMDb, please put right this oversight!

It would be great to get an Accounts Section on IMDB as sometimes on a single show you have more than 20+ in the Accounts Team and NO TV or Film is without them on a Production. 

Totally agree. PA's should be rightly acknowledged for the key role they play in production. Time this was sorted!

Agree 100%

I agree 100%.

All departments quite rightly would say that without THEM there wouldn’t be a production, but would they even turn up if they wouldn’t get paid….by Accounts?

To echo other comments, we’re very often first in last out, not only on shoot days, but way before prep even, and long after everyone has jumped onto other jobs.

We’ve all worked extremely hard to get here, and it does smack in the face when you point friends and family to the *misc* crew section.

Accounts work does involve a heavy workload that can be very challenging and technical, and teams can be massive.

Separate recognition on IMDb is well deserved.

I agree, we are an integral part of the production and deserve the respect that our jobs deserve.

I support the request to have a category added.

Absolutely agree, and support this. Accounts are core team. We deserve to be acknowledged and assigned our own department.

I wonder why our up votes are going down by the day - I don't think any of us have changed our minds lol 

just yesterday we were at 65 and today we are down to 62 - glitch maybe?

@Michelle - Hi Michelle...apparently our UpVotes are going down which we find to be a bit strange.  Should we be concerned?  Thanks.
