Force Multiplier for Film & TV Production Accounting/Payroll Expands Footprint With The Industry’s Fastest-Growing Scheduling Platform
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wrapbook, a payroll and production accounting platform for the entertainment industry, has acquired Cinapse, a modern scheduling platform for film and television. For years, scheduling and production finance have operated in separate worlds, even though every major decision—budget, crew, and delivery—starts with the schedule. This acquisition bridges that gap, connecting planning and financial execution to close the loop from schedule to spend.

The move reflects a broader shift toward uniting creative and financial workflows across the industry, as productions look to align planning, costs, and delivery more closely.
Cinapse has powered more than $6 billion in productions, including Euphoria, The Boys, Shrinking, Outer Banks, and High Potential.
Productions at studios including Netflix, Disney, Apple TV, NBCUniversal, Paramount, and Sony rely on Cinapse to manage complex, multi-unit productions.
“Cinapse and Wrapbook share a vision for how modern productions should operate as fully connected, collaborative and efficient,” said Herman Phillips, Co-Founder and CEO of Cinapse. “Together, we’re building what every filmmaker and studio has wanted for decades: one seamless system that connects scheduling, budgeting, and payroll from prep to wrap. By combining Wrapbook’s financial infrastructure with Cinapse’s real-time scheduling technology, we’re giving ADs, producers, and directors tools that restore control over time, money, and creativity.”
Built for modern film and television, Cinapse simplifies multi-unit scheduling, enables real-time collaboration, and continues to capture market share from legacy tools like Movie Magic Scheduling.
“Cinapse is the best scheduling platform on the market,” said Ali Javid, CEO and Co-Founder of Wrapbook. “This acquisition isn’t about expanding for expansion’s sake—it’s about aligning two mission-critical workflows. Together, we’re redefining how productions plan and track every dollar of their creative process.”
As part of the acquisition, Wrapbook welcomes Herman Phillips (Director & GM of Scheduling) and François Van der Merwe (Sr. Engineer) to their team.
For Wrapbook, the acquisition advances its vision for a connected production back office—linking scheduling, payroll, and accounts payable into one unified ecosystem.
