What are accounts payable services?

Accounts payable (AP) services manage your company's outgoing payments to vendors, suppliers, and contractors. This includes receiving and reviewing invoices, coding expenses to the appropriate accounts, scheduling payments, reconciling vendor statements, and maintaining accurate records within your accounting system. Effective AP management helps ensure bills are paid on time while maintaining strong vendor relationships and healthy cash flow.

​

What accounting software do you use for accounts payable?

Our team works directly within your existing accounting platform, eliminating the need for costly software changes. We are experienced with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desk Top, Sage Business Works, and Zoho Books. Our goal is to integrate seamlessly into your current financial processes while maximizing efficiency and accuracy.
 

How do outsourced accounts payable services prevent duplicate payments?

We follow strict internal controls and verification procedures to prevent duplicate payments and reduce the risk of fraud. Every invoice is reviewed and matched against purchase orders and supporting documentation before payment is approved. We also monitor duplicate invoice numbers, verify vendor information, and conduct regular account reconciliations to ensure payment accuracy.
 

Can you handle accounts payable for my specific industry?

Yes, RevivalBMR, provides accounts payable services for businesses across a wide range of industries, including construction, property management, healthcare, eCommerce, manufacturing, non-profits, and professional services. We customize our AP processes to align with your industry's unique requirements, regulatory obligations, and vendor payment cycles.

 

What is the difference between accounts payable services and accounts payable automation?

Accounts payable automation uses software to digitize tasks such as invoice capture, approval routing, and payment processing.
Accounts payable services, on the other hand, provide experienced professionals who actively manage the entire AP process, including invoice review, coding, vendor communications, payment scheduling, exception handling, and reconciliations.
At RevivalBMR, we combine the best of both approaches. Our bookkeeping professionals leverage modern AP automation tools while providing the oversight, expertise, and personalized support that software alone cannot deliver.

​

Why should I outsource my accounts payable?

Outsourcing accounts payable allows business owners to reduce administrative workload, improve payment accuracy, strengthen vendor relationships, and gain greater visibility into cash flow. It also eliminates the costs associated with hiring, training, and managing an in-house AP employee. With a dedicated AP team handling your payables, you can focus more time on growing your business.

​

How quickly can you get started?

Most accounts payable engagements can be set up within a few business days. After gaining access to your accounting software and reviewing your current processes, our team will establish workflows, vendor records, and approval procedures to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations.

​

Do you provide accounts payable reporting?

Yes. We provide detailed accounts payable reports that help you track outstanding bills, upcoming payment obligations, vendor balances, and overall cash flow. These reports offer valuable insights that support informed financial decision-making and better cash management.

Do you provide on-site AP/AR?

Yes. We can also assist with your AP/AR needs. Upon request, we are available to come directly to your place of business and perform bookkeeping services on-site, providing convenient and personalized support for your company. Pricing varies based on factors such as invoice volume, workflow complexity, and reporting requirements.
