Production Accounting
Software with a purpose.
Luca is the cutting edge accounting software the entertainment industry has been asking for. Luca is web based, so you can pick up where you left off on your mobile device or any computer, opening up exciting possibilities such as working from home and real-time collaboration.
Accounting software with features unlike any other is here.
Luca’s dashboard allows you to visualize key performance indicators (such as KPIs) at a glance. Bypassing time consuming reports is easy because Luca’s cost report worksheet gives drill down information with a simple click. Its built-in flexibilty makes turning columns on and off and rearranging their position a breeze.
The executive dashboard, another Luca exclusive, gives you the ability to evaluate costs across multiple projects by monitoring specific line items and viewing averages or grand totals across projects.
In other words, our technology adapts to your needs, not the other way around.

Here’s the Bottom Line: We Keep You Compliant
Locations compete for your business.
We help you call
the shots.
Picking the incentive that’s right for your production can be quite a challenge. Local and international tax credits are competing for your production dollars and they’re always changing.
Looking for a deeper dive? Our incentives experts will analyze your production details and help you select a location that gives you the best return on your spend without compromising your vision. We can also help you source local talent and guide you on local production finance needs.
We're building out incentive maps and comparison tools, in the meantime get in touch today for more information.

best incentive for you.
ACA compliance can be complicated.
We make it simple for you.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) poses some serious strategic issues for employers.
In order for businesses to remain compliant and prevent potential fines, you have to make some big decisions regarding health care benefits for your employees. You also have to implement it all the right way, and keep your communications and information reporting to federal agencies accurate and timely.
We’re here to help you create a compliant plan that’s tailored for an entertainment industry workforce. You’ve got enough on your plate. Let us handle the enrollment, administration, and management of a plan built for you and your team.
To help you navigate through the entire ACA process, we have partnered with Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ: WLTW)—a leading global advisory, brokering, and solutions firm—to develop an innovative program built upon a cutting edge technology platform with unparalleled capacities. This includes data analytics, IRS reporting and compliance management.
It’s simple, really.
Working with us ensures you’ll have a dedicated team of subject matter experts in your industry.
"Thank you again for your support on the project for Netflix. The entire finance team and the producers are very happy with the reporting process and Luca in general."
