LOS ANGELES & CHICAGO — GreenSlate, the entertainment industry’s only all-in-one platform for production payroll and accounting, today announced the opening of its new Chicago-area office located at 1500 McConnor Pkwy, Suite 200, Schaumburg, Illinois. The opening is the latest step in GreenSlate’s accelerating expansion—following its New Jersey office launch last year—and signals the company’s growing presence in key production markets across North America.

GreenSlate’s growth reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated, cloud-based entertainment payroll platforms and away from legacy systems. As productions increasingly demand platforms that unify payroll, accounting, tax credit management, and compliance in a single system, GreenSlate has added offices, staff, and capabilities to meet that demand where productions actually work.

Illinois is an attractive production market, supported by a competitive incentive program. GreenSlate’s production payroll handling fees qualify as an eligible expense under both the New Jersey and Illinois incentive programs—a direct financial benefit that allows productions to maximize incentive dollars while gaining access to GreenSlate’s industry-leading technology, services, and local staff.

“We are committed to supporting productions where they need us. Every new office represents more than a physical presence—it’s direct support for the productions driving economic activity in these states. Illinois is a thriving production market, and we’re proud that our payroll handling fees qualify as an eligible expense under the state’s incentive program. That’s a meaningful, real-world advantage for every production we serve there,” said Mike Leiba, CEO of GreenSlate.

GreenSlate’s Illinois expansion continues a pattern of strategic, market-driven growth. The company’s New Jersey office—opened last year—quickly became a resource for productions capitalizing on that state’s incentive program, with GreenSlate’s agency payroll model delivering cost advantages over traditional Employer-of-Record structures. GreenSlate has been recognized three consecutive times on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies and named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces. With 8 offices spanning major U.S. production hubs, GreenSlate is positioned to continue expanding its footprint as production activity grows in emerging and established markets alike.
