Accounts Payable
Umbrella Studio is a registered Not-for-Profit, and as such we have some special rules regarding payments.
For payments over $1,000, this needs to be approved by our Treasurer. Our Treasurer is a volunteer and we work with them to process payments once a week on a Tuesday. That means we need to have your invoice by 9am each Tuesday, or it has to wait until the following week. There may also be instances where the Treasurer is away. This means your payment could be delayed until they return. This is out of the hands of the operational staff.
CLOSE OFF DAY FOR INVOICES: 9am Tuesdays
To speed up your payments, make sure you have this information on your invoice:
- Your ABN
- Address
- Email for remittance advice (This is a quick email notification to say “Hey! We paid you!”)
- Bank details
Payments under $1,000 are also done once a week on a Tuesday. We are a very small team of staff – a higher frequency of payment dates would be unsustainable.
There is some more information for artists invoicing us here: www.umbrella.org.au/invoice
