The mentoring helped to develop Chusheng as a production accountant.

“However, there are still so many knowledge gaps to be filled. Moneypenny’s mentoring program which came to place last year helped me grow as a production accountant.

Jill Hewitt who has more than 20 years of experiences being a production accountant on all types of productions has been a great mentor. She is always there for me for every cost report meeting. She has been providing valuable insights not only on managing the budget but also on how I can improve as an accountant. For example, as we had more than 200 crew, 100 casts and 300 extras in Mr Inbetween Season 3 plus all kinds of living away allowances, payroll has not been easy for us. Jill has helped along the way to ensure a worry-free process. The entire experience was delightful giving the complexity of all the setups and payments.”

Career development and a safety nest to fall back on.

“Jill is very much like a “Safety Nest” to ensure necessary steps were taken starting from department setup to production wrap up so not only me but also producers can feel more secured and confident at every single stage.

I would never have imagined one can learn so much and so quick from one production but thanks to Jill and Moneypenny’s Mentor Program, this is all possible and practical. I now have much deeper understanding of the balance sheet, cost manager and managing expectation.”
