Our findings and potential next steps
We look at how production finance actually works in your organisation
Every production company works differently. We start by understanding how budgets, costs, forecasts, approvals and reporting currently move through your organisation.
- Budgeting
- Actual spend
- Budget versus actuals
- Forecasting
- Approvals
- Reporting
- Multiple productions
- Financial visibility
- Manual work and reconciliation
One question we always ask: how do you know today where a running production will end up financially? The answer usually says more about a process than any list of tools.
You leave with a clearer picture of what can be improved
During the session we note what we see. Afterwards you get a short written summary: the three main opportunities, where unnecessary manual work or financial risk sits, and which improvement is likely to have the most effect first.
Reduce manual work
Identify processes involving unnecessary spreadsheets, duplication or reconciliation.
Improve financial visibility
See where budget, actual and forecast information could be easier to access and understand.
Improve control
Identify opportunities to improve approvals, budget versions and financial processes.
How it works
-
1
A few short questions
Around two minutes: who you are, what you produce and where the work sits today. Then you pick a time that suits you.

45 minutes together, on a call
We talk through how production finance currently works within your organisation and identify areas of friction, manual work or risk. A conversation, not a questionnaire: most of what matters comes up while you describe how a production actually runs.

Receive your findings
We summarise the main opportunities and practical improvements we identified. If Tubes could help with any of these areas, we can show you how. There is no obligation to continue.
Areas we assess
Six areas, worked through in order. The point is not to grade you, but to see where financial control is currently held together by hand.
Budget to production handover
What happens after a budget is approved, and how the people spending the money get a working budget they can use.
Actuals and reconciliation
How real costs come in, how they are coded, and how much manual work it takes to match them back to the budget.
Forecasting
How commitments, costs to date and remaining costs add up to an expected final cost, and how often that picture is refreshed.
Approvals and controls
Who may commit spend, who may change a budget, and how that is recorded.
Reporting and visibility
Who gets reliable financial information, in what form, and how long it takes to produce.
We label each area Strong Could improve Opportunity based on what you tell us. We never publish company names or findings.
And if we see somewhere Tubes could help, we will show you
Tubes is production finance software designed to bring budgets, actuals, forecasting, approvals and reporting together.
During the Production Health Check we do not give a standard software demonstration. We first understand your process. If Tubes can solve one of the problems we identify, we can show you the relevant part of the platform.
