New capabilities bring production teams a unified “AP command center” experience—from purchase order to payment.
Wrapbook, a payroll and production accounting platform built for the entertainment industry, announced new enhancements to its Accounts Payable (AP) workflows—introducing AI automation, direct-to-vendor payments, and advanced vendor verification to simplify one of production accounting’s most complex and time-consuming processes.
Film, television, and commercial productions manage thousands of invoices and payments across projects, vendors, and departments. Wrapbook’s latest AP automation tools aim to centralize these workflows—reducing manual entry, approval bottlenecks, and fraud risk—by turning the traditional AP process into a faster, more connected system.
“Accounts payable has always been an operational challenge for production finance teams,” said Ali Javid, CEO and Co-founder at Wrapbook. “By automating invoice processing, approvals, and payments, we’re helping productions move faster and maintain better control over their spend.”
From Invoice to Payment—Now Smarter, Faster, and Fully Connected
At the core of Wrapbook’s new AP enhancements is a reimagined workflow designed for speed and control:
- Drop: Upload invoices in any format—PDF, photo, or scan—and AI automatically reads and matches them to the correct purchase order.
- Approve: Pre-configured rules ensure invoices are sent to the right approvers instantly, reducing back-and-forth and keeping approvals on schedule.
- Pay: Wrapbook vendor payments are a first for the entertainment payroll industry. Payments flow directly through Wrapbook without exporting a file or going into another system, reducing the risk of fraud and increasing efficiency.
Early adopters across production finance are already seeing the impact of Wrapbook’s new AI-driven invoice processing.

Ciria Cordero, Director of Finance at Mark Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas, shared that “this has been such a cool addition. Invoice processing is noticeably simpler.”
For Jaron Hoggan, Senior Production Accountant at Range Media Partners, the new system has also streamlined the way his team handles complex payment workflows. “This is awesome—looking forward to seeing how much easier it makes handling multiple invoices,” he said.
And at Paramount, Production Accountant Raymond Arturo Perez echoed the sentiment, noting simply, “It’s been fabulous on my end.”
Together, these early experiences underscore a broader transformation: by bringing every dollar of production spend—from payroll to payments—into one unified platform, Wrapbook gives productions greater control, visibility, and confidence in their financial picture.
AI and Automation That Work Behind the Scenes
The enhancements build on Wrapbook’s production accounting system, adding intelligent invoice extraction, automatic PO matching, and configurable approval hierarchies. Each feature works together to streamline how teams process and track spend across multiple shows or entities.
Productions can also benefit from automatic vendor verification, which confirms tax IDs, reduces the risk of duplicate entries, and helps safeguard against fraud.
Visibility and Control Across Every Production
In addition to invoice automation and vendor management, Wrapbook’s AP tools introduce new access controls that allow productions to customize organizational hierarchies, edit roles and permissions, and define approval rules for POs, invoices, and payments.
These enhancements give accountants and production managers a single, centralized place to monitor and manage payments, delivering what Wrapbook describes as the experience of a true AP command center—without requiring new software.
