Case Study: Topsheet achieves more accurate, efficient entertainment payroll tax calculations with Symmetry Software

The Symmetry Tax Engine has provided Topsheet with the ease of accurate and efficient tax calculation and tax rate updates for cast and crew of any size

Topsheet, a technology company that streamlines entertainment production payroll and management, struggled to keep up with the complex tax and compliance requirements of film and television payroll. Manual calculations were time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to maintain across multiple states and frequent tax rate changes. Topsheet turned to Symmetry Software and its Symmetry Tax Engine to improve accuracy and efficiency.

By integrating the Symmetry Tax Engine API, Topsheet gained automatic tax calculations and consistent updates across all 50 states and U.S. territories, including multi-state and reciprocity scenarios. Symmetry Software helped Topsheet reduce reliance on spreadsheets, improve compliance, and deliver more accurate payroll calculations to clients and workers. The case study notes that Topsheet joined Symmetry in 2021 and uses the solution to support payroll automation, though no specific numerical impact was provided.
