About SmartPIG
We also make free building and renovation calculators!
Matthew Brown, Chief Pig


I have worked in film and television for 30 years as wannabe, freelancer, contractor, permanent staff and business owner. I primarily produced animated television shows and ran large studios, but I've also started and sold businesses, made money, lost money and been screwed over - just like you.
SmartPIG is here to offer specific tools to people like me - small and medium business owners, sole traders and freelancers, across multiple trades and industries.
Our freelance and sole trader solution for bookings, client management, invoicing and expense tracking is a free mobile app called SmartPIG Lite. We offer a subscription upgrade to unlock Pro feature like quotes, Excel exports, mileage tracking and more.
We have free and paid business templates for small businesses, personal finance and film, television and animation studios. We also consult to animation studios to create tailor-made solutions for budgeting, scheduling, pipelines and more.
Lastly, we build custom software and apps for clients where an off the shelf piece of software just does not do the job or costs a small fortune.
Please get in touch if you are interested in any of our offerings.
Thanks so much, Matthew
