Accounts Payable Services for Growing Businesses

Accounts payable is the function responsible for managing a company’s outstanding obligations to vendors and suppliers. It encompasses invoice processing, payment execution, vendor management, and payable reporting.

Outsourced accounts payable means engaging an external firm to manage part or all of your AP function, rather than performing that work with in-house employees.

A monthly AP engagement typically includes invoice capture and validation, purchase order matching, payment run execution, vendor reconciliations, AP aging reporting, and subledger-to-general-ledger reconciliation.

Two-way matching compares an invoice to its corresponding purchase order to confirm quantities and pricing. Three-way matching adds a third comparison to the receiving record, confirming that goods or services were actually received before payment is approved.

An AP aging report lists all outstanding vendor balances organized by the number of days the invoice has been outstanding. It shows what the business owes, to whom, and when each payment is due or overdue.
