About Robert Cable

Seasoned Film & TV Finance Executive | Expert in Production Budgets, Reporting & Tax Incentives | Ready to Lead in Creative Sectors. With over 30 years of experience in production finance, I am a seasoned finance executive and financial controller specializing in the film and television industry. I’ve led the financial oversight of productions ranging from $1 million to over $200 million, often managing up to 20 projects concurrently across multiple territories and formats. Throughout my career, I’ve built and managed production budgets, delivered precise cost reporting and forecasting, and developed strategic three- and five-year finance plans for major studios. I’ve partnered closely with all facets of the studio ecosystem—including production, creative, legal, and business affairs—ensuring financial integrity from development through delivery. My responsibilities have included managing payroll and accounts payable functions, liaising with corporate finance teams, and navigating complex local, national, and international tax incentives. Whether advising studio leadership or coordinating with on-the-ground production teams, I bring a steady, solutions-oriented approach that balances creative ambition with financial discipline. Now, I’m eager to translate these skills and experiences into other creative industries—bringing financial clarity, strategic thinking, and cross-functional collaboration to new challenges and opportunities.
