Purpose-built start
Begin with cost categories organized for the production.
Production finance by production type
Start with a budget built for your production. Keep it working through wrap.
Choose a purpose-built starting structure for commercials, branded content, creator work, series, music videos, post and VFX, or independent features. Then run versions, decisions, POs, invoices, and live costs in the same job.

Choose your production
Pick the job you run. Start with the structure it needs.
Each guide shows how Actual handles the cost structure, outside decisions, purchasing, and wrap work specific to that format.
Different budgets. The same cost control.
The structure changes. The financial trail does not.
Each starting template reflects the cost categories and counterparties of its format. Every one can carry versions, POs, invoices, commitments, and actuals through wrap.
Company standards
Adapt templates with your rates, fringes, codes, and permissions.
Controlled review
Publish only the version and detail a client should see.
Cleaner wrap
Keep coded POs, invoices, receipts, and backup attached to the job.
Start with the next job
Bring the production into Actual—not another blank spreadsheet.
Start free with five new budgets each month, or bring a real production process to a tailored demo.
