GreenSlate, the leading provider of technology-driven production payroll, accounting, and workforce management solutions for the entertainment industry, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Circus, a trailblazer in streamlining and digitizing critical production management workflows.
The acquisition strengthens GreenSlate’s position as the industry’s most comprehensive, technology-focused partner for producers, studios, and networks. It also underscores GreenSlate’s commitment to the Canadian market, a vital hub in the global entertainment landscape.
Renowned for its world-class customer service and intuitive, digital-first platform, Circus streamlines complex worker onboarding, daily reporting, and time tracking solutions while integrating seamlessly with existing payroll and financial systems. The company has on‑boarded over 70% of Canada’s film and television workforce, digitized more than 350,000 start packs across 1,800+ productions, and saved productions thousands of labor hours annually—setting a new industry standard for production workforce management.
