Payroll, spend and accounting for film and TV productions, built by a fully remote team across the United States and Canada.
Wrapbook has raised $150.6M across four rounds. A $3.6M seed in August 2020 was led by Equal Ventures. Andreessen Horowitz led a $27M Series A in March 2021 with Equal Ventures, Uncork Capital, Jeffrey Katzenberg's WndrCo and Michael Ovitz, after a year in which revenue grew 7x. Tiger Global Management led a $100M Series B in November 2021 at a $1 billion valuation, joined by Andreessen Horowitz, A*, WndrCo, Uncork Capital and Equal Ventures. In September 2024 Bessemer Venture Partners invested $20M at a $750 million valuation, with revenue up 50% year over year, and the company ran a secondary tender offer letting eligible employees sell part of their equity. In December 2025 Wrapbook acquired Cinapse, a scheduling platform used on productions such as Euphoria and The Boys, to connect scheduling with budgeting and payroll.
Wrapbook is a payroll, spend and accounting platform for film, television and commercial productions. Production teams use it to onboard cast and crew, run union-compliant payroll (SAG-AFTRA, DGA, IATSE, Teamsters), pay vendors, track costs and generate reports, while workers keep a profile that carries their onboarding paperwork from one job to the next. The name comes from the physical binder handed over at the end of a shoot: as CEO Ali Javid put it, "In that binder, you put all your onboarding documents, payroll documents, and receipts. The company is named after that book because we're replacing it."
Customers include Netflix, Paramount and Anonymous Content, and in 2024 the company reported over 1,000 companies on the platform, 175,000 workers with digital profiles and more than 40 talent agencies, including CAA and WME, using them. The careers page counts more than $3 billion in payroll processed, 350+ employees across roughly 40 teams and 175+ new features shipped a year. The company acts as employer of record for the productions it pays, which is why its postings run through SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, tax and labor-relations work alongside engineering.
Ali Javid, CEO and co-founder. Spent most of 2007 to 2016 at Intel in financial planning and business development, with a stint as Director of Strategy and Finance at WebTuner, then was VP Business Development at Body Labs, the human shape and motion AI startup acquired by Amazon in 2017.

Wrapbook is a fully remote company headquartered in New York (228 Park Avenue South) that hires across the United States and Canada, with employees in more than 42 states and provinces and its largest groups around New York, Toronto and Los Angeles. Every open role is posted as remote for the United States, Canada or both, some engineering roles are Canada-only and some sales roles US-only, and none are posted outside those two countries.

Wrapbook ships against a large, mostly paper-based market: the US entertainment industry pays over $200 billion a year in wages, and incumbents Cast & Crew and Entertainment Partners date from 1976. In 2023 Javid described a 250-person company with 150 people in engineering, product and design and 100 serving clients, and said the team releases product daily. Ani Ganti, Principal Product Manager, says on the careers page: "What I love about Wrapbook is that we get access to the latest AI tools and internal experts and resources to learn from."
Current postings describe tenured engineering teams, senior individual-contributor scope and roles that own a domain end to end rather than a feature.
Employees quoted on the careers page describe autonomy rather than perks. Thabitah Oduntan, an engineering manager: "Here, judgment is never treated as a bottleneck. I've been trusted to guide my team." Sarah Stiffler, Senior IT Systems Engineer: "The trust between teams here is like nothing I've encountered before."
Wrapbook publishes five values with one-line glosses: win as one ("Succeed together. Break silos. No solo victories."), start with the customer ("Remember our customer is always at the head of the table."), say what makes us better ("Say what needs to be said, thoughtfully."), act and use good judgement ("Make the call, own the outcome.") and get sharper every day ("Stay curious. Try things. Learn out loud."). The stated mission since the seed round is "to increase the prosperity of the project economy through better financial services."
The expectations are stated plainly. Javid told the Motion Picture Association in 2025: "Every leader has to know everything that's not working, and they're responsible for improving upon it." The careers page asks for people who communicate "thoughtfully and directly" and who "spot an issue and feel compelled to solve it". A 2026 Business Systems engineering posting is written the same way: "You go to the work. You'd rather sit with an operator and watch the process than wait for a finished requirements doc," and it expects candidates to already use agentic coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code or Codex.
Wrapbook publishes a six-step process. Engineering: an intro call with a talent acquisition partner (where your use of AI tools comes up), a hiring manager screen, an AI-assisted engineering exercise in which you code collaboratively with team members using a shared AI agent, an architectural deep dive for Staff-plus roles, a career roadmap meeting with senior leaders, and a coffee chat with the CEO about AI and the future of work. Product roles swap the coding exercise for a case study built around a real user problem plus a collaboration round with the product team; business roles get a role-specific exercise based on a real business challenge.
Senior engineering roles ask for 5+ years, and fixed-term roles appear too, such as a 12-month maternity-leave cover for a senior user researcher.
Wrapbook publishes a band per zone on each posting. As of September 2026: Senior Product Manager II $156,500 to $241,500; Senior Product Designer II $149,000 to $241,500; Senior Software Engineer II, Business Systems $174,000 to $267,100; GRC Principal $143,000 to $232,000; Senior Manager, Tax $149,000 to $241,000; Senior Union Paymaster I $90,000 to $146,000; Mid-Market Account Executive $90,000 to $145,000 plus commission. Canada-only engineering roles list CA$156,500 to CA$215,000 for Senior Software Engineer I and CA$183,000 to CA$251,500 for Senior Software Engineer II. Zone US1 (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York City, Boston, San Diego, Washington DC) pays the top of the range, US2 (Austin, Chicago, Miami, rest of California) about 5% less, and US3 (all other US locations) about 10% less again; Canada matches US3 in Canadian dollars, and the zone is set by where you live.
Wrapbook's core application is Ruby on Rails on PostgreSQL, with Auth0 for authentication and MFA, an internal approval workflow engine, and integrations with QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Oracle NetSuite and Acumatica. Product and research teams work in Pendo and Dovetail, internal business systems run on Salesforce (Apex, Flows, Lightning Web Components) with Python and JavaScript services, finance runs on the Rillet ERP, and an integrations team is building APIs and MCP servers for accounting, ERP and AI-agent connections.
Wrapbook lists customizable health insurance with vision and dental, a 401(k) in the United States and an RRSP in Canada, paid parental leave, an IT home-office reimbursement (standing desks included) and a monthly phone and internet stipend, on top of a base salary the careers page describes as above market.
Wrapbook charges a percentage of the wages it processes rather than subscription fees: its own pricing page says there are no monthly, annual or tech fees and you only pay for what you process, with rates of roughly 0.75% to 1.5% of transaction volume. Production insurance and film financing services add further revenue, and in March 2026 the company launched an $800,000 film grant program, four grants of $200,000, for US productions with budgets of $15 million or more that run payroll on Wrapbook.
Wrapbook competes with the long-standing entertainment payroll houses Cast & Crew and Entertainment Partners, both founded in 1976, and GreenSlate, founded in 2004, as well as general payroll providers such as Gusto for smaller productions. A 2024 investor analysis estimated Cast & Crew at about $160M and Entertainment Partners at about $171M in 2023 revenue.
