ABS Entertainment Payroll & Production Payroll Reviews 86

We had a VERY difficult show - very low budget with tons of cast and extras. Not to mention almost every single contract was done incorrectly. Jason was super patient and understanding throughout the entire process and really went above and beyond.

Justin provided first rate support via phone and email both during production and post-production. His patience and attention to detail were superb. Learned a lot and will apply to the next project with ABS.

This was my first time using ABS for non-union payroll after using just about every payroll service you can think of for Film/tv/commercials (EP, CAPs, Media Services, etc...). ABS stands out from the rest for its ease and ability to reach my payroll coordinator without waiting for endless hours at a time. Not to mention competitive pricing. Payroll is as easy as dragging a scanned timecard to a dropbox-like server. No need to ship physical time cards.

Jason was great in handling my requests in a timely matter. I actually might have learned a thing or two about complicated hourly rates and such as he took the time to explain how a day can be calculated properly for day rates. I was also very impressed with how easily he came to a solution for special forms of pay. Sometimes it could be a mess and others' payroll systems have to make you go through hoops to fix something that should be pretty basic.

Will definitely be using again for future projects! Thanks ABS!

I enlisted ABS' help with the SAG payroll of my tiny budget short film, and they were detailed, quick to respond, knowledgable, and a delight to work with. I would recommend them to anyone.

Our experience with ABS has been a great one! They were always attentive and very professional. We will certainly use them again on our next feature.

We're a commercial production company, and ABS's people rocked it. They walked us through the process, were always available during production as our shoot schedule changed, and did not overcharge for their services. We'll work with them again.

They did a great job. It was my first feature as a UPM and I found my contact to be patient and extremely helpful. Would definitely work with ABS and my contact again!!

The staff at ABS were very helpful with payroll questions and feedback for a small independent film.

Efficient. Helpful. Attentive.
ABS has always been a great support in the productions we've done with then.
Keep coming to them and never regret.
More to come!

ABS Payroll was amazing to work with! They were very responsive and always there to answer any questions I had and to provide insight. We were a New York Production, and our clerk was stations in Los Angeles. The time difference was no hinderance and actually gave us a little bit more time in the morning to finish submitting, and more time at the end of the day if there were any questions or for approvals. Very convenient! Would definitely work with them again.

Thanks so much ABS!

Jason Alexander handled our account and was spot on. I was a little new to the payroll world and he was very helpful and informative for this first time feature film producer. He was very responsive ad quick when I needed a question answered. I would definitely use ABS again for my next project.

I had a great experience with ABS. They made it incredibly easy and pain free. Would definitely return and recommend!

This was my first time using a payroll service for a film project and the people at ABS (Justin and Kris) made the experience very easy. They made things very easy and smooth when I was constantly asking them questions or had concerns. They very fast to respond to my e-mails and phone calls and got everything done on their end so quickly.

Great experience with them and I'll surely be back!

They are absolutely the most wonderful, understanding payroll experts in the industry for indie producers and filmmakers.

We had a great experience with ABS for our film's payroll. Our account manager, Justin, was very responsive with any questions or concerns. As a producer, it was a great experience and comfort to work with ABS, knowing they were reachable throughout our production. I would highly recommend ABS for future productions.

This was our first film using a payroll company and it is clear that we will never make another film without ABS. Justin Gourlay was prompt, attentive, and professional at every turn. As executive and co-producer, it was the only part of the production that I never had to worry about. Thanks so much, Justin.

My paymaster at ABS this project was Justin Gourlay and he was fantastic! He was quick, accurate and kept us on schedule with all our payroll needs. We didn't have any corrections. Justin was also helpful with all my payroll questions. I love ABS and use them on every show. I can't say enough wonderful things about them.

Let me tell you something... These guys at ABS really helped me with my ultra low budget film "Beverly H." I had many questions and they answered all of them in a friendly, productive manner. Every step of the way they were always professional and very, very helpful. 5 stars!

Best,
Jason Fischer

We just wrapped our ultra low budget production, my 3rd feature and first with ABS. Even though it was a small production, ABS treated it like a major studio movie in the sense that they were there for us 24/7, answered every question and facilitated every request, all while adhering to the SAG requirements. Justin Gourlay I particular was outstanding. We encountered many hiccups along the way producing this movie, as all productions do, but ABS was not one area I had to worry about. Quite simply a terrific asset to film production

We had a great experience with ABS to manage our film production's payroll, from account setup (with Kris) to account management (Justin). Justin was very responsive with any questions/concerns, and he really helped me manage and keep on track with everyone's pay check status. As a producer, it was a great relieve to know that ABS is taking great care of one important part of the production process.
