How Accounts Receivable Outsourcing Services Work

Your accounts receivable is the money you are owed for products or services you provided to customers. You will have a record of outstanding invoices from your clients with the expectation of payment at a later date. The number of customers you allow to pay later varies, though typically, you choose people who buy from you often. Receivables should generally be paid within a maximum of one year.

The primary advantages of outsourced accounts receivable services are freeing up time for critical tasks and reducing stress for business owners. While you and your staff focus on your company’s core objectives, you can trust your accounts receivable outsourcing service is managing your payments and collections.

How Accounts Payable Outsourcing Services Work

When you purchase products or services for your business, these go onto a comprehensive list of the debts you owe. Ensuring you pay all of these debts in a timely manner is essential to running a successful business. Your bookkeeping service records these transactions in the accounts payable (AP) system.

Accounts payable outsourcing is when a third-party specialist manages your accounts payable process for you. By outsourcing these tasks, you can improve efficiency within your business and save money while being confident in your compliance with financial regulations.

Some of the AP services a third party can manage for you include:

  • Payment processing: Your service provider will make sure your paper and electronic invoices align with each other, as well as with the purchase orders and debit memos. Payment processing makes sure your records are accurate, which can save you money.
  • Vendor management: Vendor management focuses on cultivating partnerships and establishing communication with suppliers. Your service provider can manage vendor onboarding, recordkeeping and service. As a result, your company will benefit from timely payments and retained contracts.

The more your company grows, the more business relationships you establish. Having a network of vendors is great for business, but these connections can make your accounts payable processes more complex with additional short-term debt payments.

Through our online accounts payable services, we can help your greater Chicago, Illinois, company maximize expenditure value, minimize costs, and improve supplier relationships. You can trust our knowledgeable bookkeeping specialists to automatically track your debts and credits with sharp accuracy, professional resources and constant coverage. Steph’s Bookkeeping makes it easy to outsource your accounts payable and receivable while keeping your books in order.

We help you with bookkeeping by ensuring your total credit balance equals what you owe to other vendors. Our experts take any existing AP you have and incorporate new techniques to improve the process and make it more efficient.

Outsourcing your accounts payable provides numerous benefits for your business. Our teams have advanced technology and tools — including automated processes and AI — to enhance the AP bookkeeping process. For example, we use automation tools to manage routine processes and AI to identify and reduce payment fraud and errors. Hiring our team can also help you save money because you won’t have to hire an in-house group to handle your accounts payable. You also have added cybersecurity and anti-fraud benefits and a lower risk for AP error.

Invoice and Account Cleanup

When it comes to running a business, your company’s books must be accurate and well-maintained so you can make the most efficient and informed financial decisions. Our online invoice organization and account cleanup services can help you achieve error-free books. We organize and manage your accounts by reviewing invoices, observing bank records and comparing prior audits to recover your collections and troubleshoot your payment habits.

I run a boutique social media marketing and photography business in Chicago. I needed an accountant desperately to clean up my books from the past three years and balance everything month over month. I love Stephanie and her team so much because it's something I no longer have to do. They balanced everything perfect for my taxes and keep my books organized every month, as well as alert me to the things that need my attention. So happy I found this service, highly recommend.

Our small business has been using Steph's Bookkeeping for 2 years now and we have nothing but good things to say. We've worked with both Steph and now Grace, and the both are very responsive and have provided a ton of guidance and support that we find invaluable. As a small-business owner, we wear many hats and there is peace-of-mind knowing our financial records are well accounted for.If you're a small business owner and think that you're going to manage your own books, even on a platform as intuitive as Quickbooks, I strongly recommend you don't and let the experts at Steph's Bookkeeping do it for you.

We just transitioned from a prior bookkeeper to Steph's Bookkeeping Service and found the experience very good. Stephanie cleaned up our 2023 books quickly and professionally, took over payroll and estimated tax submittals with ease. We look forward to working closely with Stephanie as we continue to grow.
We have been using Steph's Bookkeeping for 5+ years now. The monthly and quarterly reports are always on time and accurate. This makes easy work for the accountant to close out the year. As a small business owner, the service provided by Steph and her team is beyond helpful. It allows me to focus on the day-to-day operations knowing that the accounting is being managed by a professional. It's one less thing that I have to do at the end of the month. If you're a small business owner, then you understand the value of that time savings.Any questions I have had over the years are answered in a reasonable amount of time & in a professional manner. You will not regret hiring this company to help manage your books. This is money well spent in my opinion.

I run a small health care practice in a rural area of East Central Illinois for nearly 25 years. In the last 5 years, I’ve outsourced book-keeping— “leaving it to the professionals” instead of continuing to do work that I’m not good at (also another layer of work as both a physician and business owner). Steph’s has been the best solution yet! She was able to dive right in and eventually assigned my account to Melanie. I continue to do payroll and my local CPA continues to do the taxes.The ongoing book work was a hole that has been filled to my satisfaction. Steph’s team is professional, polite and prompt despite my occasional delays in communication.. I plan to be a long-term client and grateful for this service.
