Supplier bills, paid on time.

Bills reviewed, coded and scheduled into payment runs you approve, so suppliers stay happy and your cash flow stays predictable.

Bills under control, before they are overdue.

Our accounts payable service helps keep your supplier payments organised, accurate and processed on time. We manage the review and processing of bills, maintain clear payment schedules, and help streamline your accounts workflow to support healthy cash flow management.

At Lady Abacus, we focus on creating efficient processes that reduce administration and keep your business running smoothly.

Instead of bills living in your inbox until a supplier chases, they arrive in one place, get checked against what was agreed, and land on a payment run you have approved. You keep control of the money. We take care of the admin around it.

You might need this if

If any of these feel a little close to home, this is exactly the sort of thing we take off your plate.

Bills live in your inbox

Invoices arrive by email, get half-filed, and only resurface when the supplier follows up.

You have paid something twice

Duplicate payments, missed credit notes, or settling an invoice that had already been paid.

Payment timing is guesswork

You are never quite sure what is due this week, so you pay everything at once and hope for the best.

What accounts payable covers.

A tidy workflow from the moment a bill arrives to the moment it is reconciled.

  • Bill entry and coding

    Supplier invoices captured, coded to the right accounts and matched to your purchase records.

  • Approval-ready payment runs

    Scheduled runs prepared for you to review and release, so final say always stays with you.

  • Supplier statement reconciliation

    Statements checked against your ledger so missed credits and duplicates get picked up early.

  • Payment schedules

    Due dates tracked and grouped, giving you visibility of what is coming up and when.

  • Supplier queries

    Discrepancies and short payments followed up with suppliers on your behalf.

  • Aged payables reporting

    A clear view of what you owe and when it falls due, ready whenever you need it.

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most about accounts payable. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Will you have access to our bank account?

Only as much as you are comfortable with. Most clients have us prepare payment runs that they then approve and release themselves, so payment authority stays entirely with you.

Can suppliers send invoices straight to you?

Yes, and it is usually the tidiest arrangement. We can set up a dedicated inbox or automated bill capture so invoices flow in without passing through you first.

What if a supplier invoice looks wrong?

We will flag it rather than pay it. If it needs following up we will contact the supplier and resolve the discrepancy before it goes anywhere near a payment run.

Can this be combined with receivables?

Absolutely, and many clients do exactly that. Pairing it with accounts receivable gives you both sides of your cash flow running on the same rhythm.
