Same day

Pay editors, animators, and designers the day they invoice instead of making them wait 30 to 60 days through your standard AP cycle.

Freelancer payments

120+

Scale from 30 freelancers to 120+ across multiple campaigns without adding back-office headcount.

Contractors managed

1 click

Contractors submit invoices through a single portal. Approvers clear them in one click and payment executes automatically.

Pay freelance crews the day they wrap, not 60 days later

Creative talent remembers who pays on time. Top freelancers deprioritize agencies known for slow payment and accept the next booking elsewhere.


Wingspan runs automated payment cycles tied to invoice approval. Approve the deliverable, the payment goes out.


Offer instant or same-day pay to your best talent through the Wingspan Wallet.

Wingspan contractor onboarding flow

Onboard a 50-person campaign crew in days, not weeks

You win the pitch on Monday and need art directors, animators, and motion designers staffed by end of week. Wingspan sends each contractor a single onboarding link to complete their profile, sign agreements, and submit tax forms.


Documents are stored alongside each contractor's payment history. Wayfinder AI flags expired IDs, missing signatures, or mismatched names before they hold up a project start.

Collect every W-9 at onboarding, not as a tax-season fire drill

Most agencies scramble for W-9s in January when 1099s are due, not when contractors start work. That scramble turns into missing forms, late filings, and IRS penalty notices.


Wingspan collects W-9s and W-8BEN forms during onboarding as a required step. Payments are held automatically until required documents are on file.


At year-end, 1099 preparation pulls directly from payment data already in the system.

Give your best freelancers health coverage and retirement benefits

High-earning creative talent turns down agency work for full-time roles that offer health insurance, dental coverage, and 401(k) matching. Agencies that only offer a day rate lose experienced art directors and senior editors to companies offering benefits packages.


Wingspan gives your freelance contractors access to benefits typically reserved for W-2 employees. Health, dental, and vision insurance options are available through the contractor portal.


Retirement savings plans let senior talent invest while working project-to-project.

It's very repetitious, very manual and a computer needs to be doing this. A robot needs to be doing this. A human doesn't need to be doing this. And there's a lot of human error -- double triple billing for stuff.
