How Eved Works for Film & TV Production Payments — Vendors, Invoices & 1099s
From setup to year-end compliance — this is what happens inside Eved
Before Eved
Production accountants are managing vendor payments, per diems, and card reconciliation — across multiple cost centers, in multiple countries — while the budget is live and the schedule does not stop. A single production can have hundreds of one-time vendors and individuals. Onboarding all those vendors for each production is painful.
Productions are live fast — and setup is simpler than you think
Becoming an Eved client is a single process that covers every production you’ll ever run with us — one contract, one KYC check, and we configure the platform for you. Once you’re set up, a new production can be live the same day. Eved integrates directly with Cast & Crew via API. For EP, Greenslate, and Wrapbook, Eved’s AI handles the data mapping automatically.
Eved onboards every vendor and individual — crew, hotels, equipment houses, all of them
The production team provides their per diem and vendor list. Eved manages outreach, banking collection, W-9/W-8 forms, TIN verification, and OFAC screening for every payee through a vaulted secure platform. Vendors and individuals onboard once and are available across all future productions. No re-onboarding per show.
Invoices flow in across every category — AI matches them to the production budget in real time
Invoices are submitted into Eved. AI matches each one to the correct PO and production budget line, catches duplicate submissions, flags amount mismatches and suspicious changes, and routes approvals to the production accountant or department head. Budget consumption is visible in real time — by episode, department, or vendor category.
EvedPay Card — instant access, built-in controls, AI receipt coding
Issue a virtual card and it’s in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet within minutes. Every card comes with spend limits and fraud controls set by production accounting before it’s ever used. Every swipe captures a receipt — AI codes it to the right production, department, and budget line automatically right from the EvedPay App.
Global vendor payments execute in one daily transaction — any currency, any country
Whether paying a location scout in Prague, a post-production house in London, or a caterer in Los Angeles — all approved payments aggregate into one daily funding transaction. Vendors receive payment in their local currency. No wire transfers managed manually.
Data flows back into your production accounting system automatically
Eved integrates natively with Cast & Crew — GL coding, payment records, and cost report data sync directly with no manual steps. For EP, Greenslate, and Wrapbook, Eved’s AI maps and generates output in the exact format each system requires.
Eved issues all 1099s at wrap — for every individual and company paid during the production
Because every payee’s tax forms and payment history are in Eved from day one, year-end and wrap compliance require no additional work. Eved issues all 1099s. No W-9 scramble after wrap. No manual matching. Done.
AI-powered intelligence compounds across every production
When all productions exist in one system, AI reads data in real time — flagging spend trends mid-production, benchmarking vendor performance across every show, and identifying savings opportunities before the next production starts. The more productions you run through Eved, the smarter the system becomes.
Workflow complete — your team focused on creating, Eved handled the rest.
Closed-Loop Security — Built Into Every Step Above
Because every vendor onboards through a single verified platform and every payment flows through closed-loop controls, the fraud risks inherent in email-based processes — bank account diversion, impersonation, duplicate payments — don't exist inside Eved. Security isn't a feature. It's the architecture.
