The Key Monthly Payment Process
When it comes to video content costs, no one wants to pay a dime more than is necessary. The Key monthly payment process insures that you are not dependent on vendor invoices that may not be accurate or may not arrive at all. Your payments for video content will be based on your contractual terms.
We build a contract database for all of your contracts with local television stations and national networks. Using the billing system data you provide, we will report subscribers to the NCTC and will provide your accounts payable team with pre-calculated payment vouchers for all programmers and broadcasters paid directly. All content owners receive monthly electronic remittance advice via email minimizing questions to your team. Leverage Accounting Services will field basic questions that programmers and NCTC may have about monthly payments so that you can focus on those things that only you can do!
If you’re looking for an accounting partner with keen industry insights and big telecom expertise without

Feedback from our clients:
“I initially had concerns about what I was going to pay Leverage, but they’re going to pay me back 10X or more.”
“The Leverage Broadband Strategies team is conscientious, proactive, and knowledgeable. They are our strategic partners and consultants—and by outsourcing specific functions to them, our team has time to focus on mission-critical objectives.”
“Leverage made our team stronger by coming up with a detailed strategic plan. Leverage complements the other engineering firms that we currently have. They created operational efficiency and helped our VPs and managers create the mission to continue forward.
South Central Connect wanted to connect our community with broadband.
Leverage Broadband Strategies connected us with the expertise to make this happen.”
“Leverage has its own fan club inside the company at all levels and departments.”
“The folks at Leverage have a wealth of experience of understanding the nuances of programming contracts, especially NCTC Agreements. They are able to help members navigate the complicated terms of programming agreements as well.”
“The complexity and intensity of video content negotiation has become a battlefield of sorts in recent years. There is a great amount at stake on both sides of the table. And ‘leverage’ is the perfect word to describe the environment. In getting to know and work with Cheryl, I’m confident that all medium to small cable companies and video providers should work with her. She knows how to negotiate contracts and ensure that her customers are getting the best deals possible. I’m not sure why a smaller company or emerging company without fully dedicated resources wouldn’t want to have that assurance. Her company, Leverage, is uniquely positioned in their segment.”
