Accounts Payable Services

Stop letting invoices pile up on the corner of your desk.

Vendor invoices in, matched, researched, entered, and paid on time — by someone who's done it for 25 years across single-owner shops and 43-property portfolios.

Accounts payable services for small businesses in Lorain County, Ohio.

When AP slips, vendor relationships slip with it. Late fees creep in, statements stop reconciling, and the next time you need a rush order from a key supplier they're not exactly thrilled. We take the whole process off your desk so it just runs.

What's included

  • Receive vendor invoices via mail, email or upload
  • Match invoices to purchase orders and packing slips
  • Research and resolve discrepancies before they become arguments
  • Enter invoices into QuickBooks (or your platform of choice) with the correct GL coding
  • Process scheduled check runs and mail the checks
  • Maintain organized AP filing — physical and digital
  • Track 1099-eligible vendors throughout the year so January isn't a scramble
  • Reconcile vendor statements and clean up old open items

Signs you should hand this off

  • You can't tell at a glance who you owe and how much.
  • Vendors are calling about unpaid invoices you didn't know existed.
  • You're paying late fees more than once a quarter.
  • Your last 1099 season felt like an emergency.
  • Invoices live in three different inboxes and a stack of paper.
  • You're matching POs and packing slips by hand — when you remember.
  • Common questions

    Can you handle approval workflows? +

    Yes. We'll send you a weekly approval batch (or whatever cadence works) — you approve, we cut the checks. You stay in control of what gets paid; we handle the mechanics.

    Do you work in QuickBooks Online or Desktop? +

    Both. Stephanie is a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and we work in whichever version your business already uses.

    How do you handle 1099 vendors? +

    We flag every 1099-eligible vendor at intake, collect W-9s on your behalf, and have your year-end 1099 list ready to go in early January — not late January.

    Can you take over a messy AP situation? +

    Absolutely. We'll usually start with a clean-up project — reconcile vendor statements, clear duplicates, organize files — before we move you to ongoing AP service.
