Before you hire an AP clerk
Another hire is a significant step. Consider a service with a defined scope and fee to take on the day-to-day AP work.

Ready to hand over the invoice work?
Whether you’re considering an AP clerk or replacing an outsourcer, begin with a clear scope and a clear approval process.
When your outsourcer no longer fits
Make the handover count. Establish what will be handled, what needs your approval and how payment records will be kept.
Your control
You keep the payment decision.
Your authorized approver decides which invoices may be paid, to whom and for how much. Changes to those details require fresh approval. Vendor banking changes require human validation.
Initiated does not mean received. Settlement is shown separately, only when confirmed. Failed, returned or uncertain payments need review before another attempt.
Choose your plan.
One service, three sizes. Every plan is the same work, the same approvals, the same turnaround and the same support; only the invoice volume changes. No setup fee, no free cycle, cancel any month.
