Is AP Actually Painful?

What would you pay to outsource accounts payable activity? Or better yet, how much would you save by outsourcing? Imagine a world in which all you do is go on-line and approve a payment and print the check.  This one act will save big money for your company. No more late payment penalties, no lost or misplaced invoices. As an AP professional, I know you have encountered shell games in which departments will delay invoice payment to a time that is more favorable to the bottom line. Let's say a department head is rewarded with bonuses for showing positive financial reporting each month. Isn't it possible to delay paying a big invoice in a month where he will look better? It happens!

Let me tell you why you want to outsource to FLBSi. Since 2001, FLBSi has been the preferred AP outsource for REIT's. Vendors send invoices to FLBSi on a daily basis and within 24 hours the invoice is batched, scanned, indexed and uploaded to the clients workflow system. Don't have a workflow system?  No problem, FLBSi has an on-line system ApLink, go to www.filelinkusa.com and check out more detail.
