Below, we spotlight a few of the experts who have joined the podcast to share their insights, practical tips, and forecasts for the future of production accounting.

A common pain point in production accounting is the messy, time-consuming disconnect that can arise between production and accounting teams. V Gordon saw this challenge firsthand early in her career while working in production accounting for a small commercial house. V carried that experience with her when she transitioned to working on production accounting software, which ultimately led her to Wrapbook.
As the current Director of Business Development at Wrapbook, V has played a key role in developing Wrapbook’s trailblazing accounting solution. V joined Cameron for an episode of On Production, where she shared insights on the tools that Wrapbook users love and discussed how the company's development of new features is helping shape the future of production accounting.
V shares that before joining Wrapbook, she often felt that room for creative problem-solving was limited while working for other accounting software companies. With her background in production accounting, she had tons of ideas for improving products and simplifying client workflows. But disjointed software systems that fundamentally separated production and accounting, even if they shared one login, hindered her ability to innovate solutions.
At Wrapbook, V helped build integrated tools that make production accountants' jobs easier by uniting production and accounting software. This integration enables more elegant automation, saving time and reducing manual labor. As she shares in the episode, she’s excited to continue developing even more features to delight Wrapbook clients.
Production accounting technology has evolved in fascinating ways over the past few decades. From handwritten paper ledgers to locally-hosted computer software, cloud-based programs, and now Wrapbook’s next-gen solutions, the tools of the trade are advancing rapidly.
Wrapbook’s Principal Product Manager Rick Rice has witnessed each recent stage of the evolution of production accounting software firsthand. A decade before the debut of QuickBooks, he was guiding hesitant small business owners through the shift from handwritten processes to computer-based accounting. Years later, he supported production accountants in transitioning to cloud-based, online systems. Now, at Wrapbook, he’s shaping the future of production accounting software with a firmly user-centered approach to problem-solving.
Rick brought his perspective to an episode of On Production, in which he discusses key milestones in the development of production accounting software and how Wrapbook’s latest offerings address the needs of today’s production accountants.
Listen to the episode to catch Rick’s thoughts on Wrapbook features like auto-save, the fully keyboard-navigable system, and on his vision for the future of Wrapbook’s software solutions.
Wrapbook is setting the new standard for production finance and accounting teams. A core feature of our platform is its integration of payroll and accounting into a single system. This foundation enables powerful tools that streamline workflows, offer instant access to information, and significantly reduce the risk of errors.
Wrapbook Senior Product Manager Liz Blunnie walks us through these features and more in her conversation with Cameron in an On Production episode.
Liz has worked on just about every major production accounting software–including PSL by Cast and Crew, CAPS, and Entertainment Partners. Now she brings her expertise to Wrapbook, playing a key role in shaping our accounting solutions.
Liz outlines how Wrapbook’s integrated solution creates a seamless experience for clients. With Wrapbook, users gain more control over their payroll process, benefit from integrated purchase orders and approvals, and enjoy simplified vendor maintenance. As Liz mentions, Wrapbook’s system eliminates the need for workarounds—everything just works.
The production accounting community has seen remarkable growth and change over the past few years. We’re grateful to the guests featured in these episodes for sharing their insights into the history, current landscape, and promising future of production accounting technology.
