Fall into AR and AP Payment Best Practices

Ready or not, fourth quarter of 2023 is around the corner! This is typically the time when we look at budgets, processes and sleuth out any opportunity to fine-tune success. For many, fall brings about assessments and plans for a new year, and setting additional goals. These AR and AP payment tips will show you how to set your business up for success for the remainder of the year.

Where to start?

Organizations can start by collecting financial indicators such as revenue, profit margins and cash flow. Other metrics that shed light are customer behavior, such as customer feedback or conversion rates. The end of summer is a great time to identify any anomalies in reporting and financial statements. With nine months of bank statements, accounts receivables and accounts payables under review, any variations can lead to inaccuracies. Timely reconciliation helps maintain a realistic financial picture.

Human error often leads to discrepancies in financial reporting. Issues that add up are unrecorded invoices, duplicate entries or entering wrong information, such as payment data. Any invoices overdue and have yet to be paid need to accounted for during this time to keep the financial picture as clear as possible.

Time is another tricky area to monitor. A vendor might not have cashed a check payment until some time has passed; this can lead to discrepancies between the accounts payable records and bank statements. Identifying these issues, will help you correct any missing or inaccurate information, ensuring the financial reporting is clean and realistically reflects the company’s financial status.

Is it time for new technology?

Investing in new technology is now a practical necessity for those needing to stay competitive. Integrating a payments platform is at the top of the tech list. This investment aligns financial processes. A comprehensive payments platform simplifies and accelerates the payment cycle.
