Why this, not a Google Doc

The two things generic invoicing tools get wrong.

Crew rates and kit breakdowns. Nail those, and the invoice writes itself.

Rate benchmarking

Pick your role and city. See the median, low, and high day rate working crews are actually charging — so you stop quoting below market and leaving money on the table.

Kit lists, built or imported

Pre-built gear lists for every role on set — Camera, Gaffer, Sound, MUA, 1st AC, Grip, DIT, Steadicam, Drone and more — or build your own and import a gear list from a PDF, spreadsheet, or even a photo. Drop it into any invoice to justify the rate.

Invoice generator

Coverage invoice or production quote. Labor, kit, expenses, tax, deposit — line-itemed, print-ready, sent in two minutes.

Client management

Save each production once. Auto-fill the next ten invoices. Know who pays fast and who ghosts.

Gig tracker

Easily track your finances for the year. Paid, late, outstanding, month-by-month earnings, crew payouts — the whole year at a glance, no spreadsheet required.

Export & taxes

CSV exports for your bookkeeper. PDF archive of every job. A running "set aside ~25–30%" number so quarterly taxes never blindside you. Your data stays yours.

Crew & deal memos

Save your people with their rates, kit, and skills — reuse them across projects, split a shoot into units, and send a deal memo they sign right on their phone. Import a whole crew from a past invoice in seconds.

Verified profile

Your résumé builds itself from the work you've already invoiced — productions, days worked, on-time-payment rate. Real numbers, not self-reported, ready when it's time to land the next gig.

Bring your own invoices

Already invoice with something else? Upload or log the ones you've sent from anywhere and track your whole year here — no need to rebuild them. Use the site purely to stay organized.

An invoice that looks like the work is worth the rate.

Production Ledger renders clean, editorial PDFs with your logo, your rate breakdown, and the professional polish that makes production companies take you seriously.
