Stop running production with a number that's three weeks old. Connected payroll, accounting and incentives mean you see every dollar move the moment it moves.

Production, accounting, and the studio all read from the same numbers. No exported spreadsheets in flight.

Consolidated financials, multicurrency, and studio-grade controls.
This is where traditional payroll companies stop.
And where Revolution starts.
Software alone can't file an incentive application, sit across the table from a union rep, or unwind a thirty-year-old residual. That's why specialists live inside the platform.
We don't just tell you what credits exist. We file applications, track compliance, manage the audit, and broker the credits for cash.
Access lower IATSE signatory rates with full labor relations support. CBA interpretation, grievance management, and contract advisory.
Policy review, compliance consulting, conflict resolution, training, state/federal reporting, and ACA administration, built for entertainment's workforce model.
We handle residual payments for new or legacy projects, regardless of who did the original payroll.
Our in-house production accountants manage your books from pre-production through final cost report. People and software, together.
US, Canada, and, through partnerships, UK and Europe. Multicurrency accounting and consolidated cross-border reporting.

Production payroll around the world.
Cross-border productions don't need three vendors. One contract, one platform, the right unions and tax credits for each region.

UK and European productions supported through our partner network.
The four questions producers ask before they move.
We hear them every week. Here's the honest answer on each, before you ever pick up the phone.
Predictable per-employee fees instead of a percentage of payroll. Your costs don't balloon with your scale, or your day-players.
Senior leadership stays close to every kickoff. We run a parallel payroll cycle, reconcile line-by-line, and cut over in roughly three weeks, without losing a production day.
Eligibility tracking, 1095-C filing, and qualifying-event support built in. Crew get coverage; you get compliance. No separate broker required.
From indie features to studio tentpoles, commercials to creator-led. Same platform, same humans. Pricing, controls, and SLAs sized to your tier.
We run the switch. You keep shooting.
Changing payroll vendors mid-production is the scariest sentence in this business. So we don't make you do it alone. Senior leadership stays close, a dedicated lead owns the cutover, and your crew never sees the seam.
- 01Kickoff2 hrs of your time
Your migration lead, backed by senior leadership, sits down with your existing crew, payroll cycles, and chart of accounts.
- 02Parallel run0 production days lost
We run a shadow payroll alongside your current vendor for one cycle. You compare line-by-line.
- 03CutoverLive in ~3 weeks
Crew, vendors, and your studio partner all transition in a single week, without a missed paycheque.
Don't take our word for it.
"Working with Chelsea and the entire team at Revolution Entertainment Services on Boyztrip was an outstanding experience. As a producer managing an international production in South Africa, having a trusted partner was critical, and Chelsea consistently went above and beyond to support our team. Revolution provided exceptional service, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the process. I highly recommend Chelsea and the Revolution team to any producer looking for a reliable and knowledgeable partner."
