Late…due to an “I.T. Meltdown”. Or “Solar Flares”, or a wire-transfer glitch. I don’t know who runs ABS, but my gut tells me they’re a running-dog lackey of the AMPTP. Production blames ABS, and doesn... See more

I've used ABS on 3-4 low-budget films (ranging from $375K-$1M) and have been very happy with their work. They are fast and friendly and always fit our budget. They understand the requirements of SAG... See more

Prompt and Helpful
I recently produced and directed a few scenes of a feature under SAG's demonstration reel agreement. One of the details in that agreement is that your budget not exceed $10,000.00. Even with a small budget such as 10K, the personel at ABS responded to all of my emails and calls immediately and I never once felt like I was anything less than their first priority. We recently entered into an executive producers agreement and got fully funded for the film we shot the demonstration reel for and we will definitely be calling ABS when the time is right. Great experience.

Loved working with them
I loved working with them and I look forward to working with them again on my future projects. I've also referred them to many other friends in need of a payroll company.

A+A+A+ service
We have been using ABS for many years now. We have use all the largest entertainment related payroll companies out. ABS has given us far better service. Also have a couple of dedicated people that know our account inside and out. You want these guys on your team!
Dealing with all the reporting issues required by MPIPHP, Local 399, EDD, Workers Comp, Taxes, the list goes on. They give us very accurate reports making it easy for us to do what we do best. That is not having to deal with Payroll laws and reporting BS that comes with it.

I love ABSPayroll!
I just used them for a short film I directed and they made the process so easy and smooth!
They were early fast in getting back to me and they truly made sure that all the details were taken care of.
I had a wonderful experience with them and I will definitely use them again!
