1. Searchable industry standard reports

Finance executives often need answers on the fly. Whether it’s a breakdown of costs over a specific time frame or insight into payroll distribution, production accountants are tasked with turning data into actionable answers—fast. The new AI-powered reporting feature makes this seamless.

With Wrapbook, production accountants can now ask simple questions in Wrapbook like, “What were my journal entries from October to December 15” and instantly generate a detailed report. No more manual searches or complicated report-building processes—just instant access to the exact information needed.

Impact:

  • Immediate, accurate answers to pressing questions.
  • Time saved from manually manipulating accounting data to get the needed report.
  • A stronger sense of trust in the numbers.

2. Automated invoice processing

Managing accounts payable is one of the most time-consuming tasks for production accountants and their teams. Manually extracting and matching invoice data is not only tedious but prone to human error. Wrapbook’s automated invoice processing eliminates these bottlenecks.

With AI automatically extracting data from invoices and inputting into Wrapbook for you, production accountants can reduce manual effort and focus on higher-value tasks.

Impact:

  • Faster processing of payments and approvals.
  • Fewer errors leading to smoother audits.
  • Greater confidence that the team is operating at peak efficiency.

A new standard of collaboration for accountants & finance execs

When accountants can meet—and exceed—the expectations of finance executives, the benefits ripple across the production. Finance teams can spend less time chasing answers and more time making strategic decisions. Production workflows become more fluid, with fewer financial hiccups slowing progress. And most importantly, production accountants solidify their reputation as indispensable contributors to a project’s success.

These AI tools aren’t just about making day-to-day tasks easier; they’re about fostering more streamlined sharing of information between production accountants and finance executives and getting answers faster.

In the entertainment industry, tracking and managing spend is one of the most critical yet complex tasks. Finance executives demand precise, real-time visibility into costs, while production accountants juggle union compliance, payroll intricacies, and ever-changing budgets—all under tight deadlines.

But when tools fail—relying on slow, manual processes or fragmented systems—spend visibility suffers. Delayed reports, incomplete data, and inefficient workflows ripple through the entire production, straining communication and creating frustration for all parties.

The right tools can change everything. They provide more than just efficiency; they deliver clarity. With enhanced spend visibility, production accountants can act as strategic partners to finance executives, fostering trust, streamlining workflows, and ensuring productions stay on track.

Smarter tools for tracking every dollar

Spend visibility is at the heart of every successful production. Production accountants meticulously track every dollar spent, ensuring compliance and managing payroll with precision.

Wrapbook’s AI-enabled features transform how production teams manage and access financial data by surfacing all transactions and eliminating repetitive tasks. These tools empower production accountants to deliver faster, cleaner data, providing the spend visibility finance executives need to make informed decisions quickly. In turn, this fosters stronger collaboration, streamlines production workflows, and builds the foundation for lasting professional relationships.

In the entertainment industry, where collaboration and expertise are key, Wrapbook’s AI features are built to complement the vital work of production accountants and their teams. These tools streamline repetitive, time-consuming tasks, giving accountants more time to focus on high-value work: strategic decision-making, nuanced analysis, and fostering relationships with finance executives.
