Get Started

Happy September, everyone!

This month's updates are about cutting the manual work out of your accounting and onboarding, from paying vendors directly inside Wrapbook to letting agents handle their own talent's startwork. Whether you're cleaning up itemized invoices or tracking down the right report, these updates are built to keep your team moving.

Here's what's new.

Accounting & spend

Getting money out the door and keeping your records clean shouldn't take a dozen steps. These updates tie payments, invoices, and reporting together so there's less to re-enter and less to reconcile.

Send Direct ACH vendor payments seamlessly

You can now pay vendors directly from accounts payable with Wrapbook's Direct ACH vendor payments. Just connect your bank account, send payment in a few clicks, and your GL updates automatically. That’s it! There’s no file management and no data re-entry.It’s free, secure, and quick to set up.

Merge itemized invoices in one action

Stop rebuilding the same vendor invoices by hand. "Merge All" collapses an itemized invoice into a single line, and you can set a rule so a vendor's future invoices arrive collapsed with different rules for different vendors. The process is confirmation-first, so nothing collapses by surprise, and account codes pre-fill when you scan.

Search your report pages instead of scrolling

All three report pages now share the same searchable, categorized table. Search and filter reports by name and category (Payroll, Fringe, Tax, Union, and more) so you can find what you need at a glance. New reports show up in the same layout automatically.

Onboarding & payroll

This month's onboarding and payroll updates put the right information in the right hands from the start, reducing the back-and-forth that slows down hire.

Let agents onboard their own talent

You can now flag agent representation at hire and choose who handles onboarding: the worker, the agent, or production. Agents get their own workspace with deal details and timecard PDFs, and workers see their agent and fee when they accept. Waiting on startwork? Resend an invite to the right party without opening a support ticket.

Updated union rates for SAG-AFTRA and DGA

Both SAG-AFTRA and the DGA ratified new multi-year agreements effective July 1, 2026, and Wrapbook's system is already updated to reflect the new minimums. Any production that started principal photography on or after that date runs under the new rates automatically, with no manual updates required on your end.

If you're currently in production and unsure which rates apply, the determining factor is your principal photography start date. Productions that began before July 1 continue under the prior agreement. For a full breakdown of what changed, our updated guides to SAG-AFTRA rates and DGA rates cover the new minimums across every tier.

Wrapping up

With September's updates live, your team can pay vendors without leaving Wrapbook, collapse invoices in a single action, find any report in seconds, and hand off agent onboarding without a support ticket.

As always, our Support Team and Help Center are here if you have questions along the way.
