Small business owners certainly have their fair share of tasks and challenges. From growing a customer base, creating partnerships and marketing strategies, to managing employees, advertising campaigns and strategic planning for the growth of your business, the tasks and challenges are many. Time is something you have little of, but the majority of it should be spent working on your company’s overall growth and success.

Less administrative tasks provide you with the time you need for more sales, better customer services and effective growth strategies.
Why You Should Outsource Your Bill Paying
Your in-house bill paying process not only includes the actual payment of bills, but also tracking and processing associated purchase orders, sales, and receipts as well. Surely these ongoing tasks can result in high cost time consumption. If you still have a paper based billing process combined with electronic processes, then you still find yourself having to sort through files such as contracts and agreements that are affiliated with your invoices. Additionally, you are still having to print, stuff and even apply necessary postage to outgoing bills and payments with a paper-based system.
Further, when cutting checks the process can be tedious and long winded having to first get approval for payments, reviewing the payments, requesting additional backup documents in some cases, and having the AP manager check all approvals before giving the final go ahead to issue. Then the checks need to be cut, proper signatures acquired, final review for accuracy follows, and the checks are finally stuffed into their envelopes, postage applied and out the door they go. Whew!!! Exhausting at best. So you think it might be time for you to consider outsourced bill paying?
