Use QuickBooks to manage your accounts payable

With QuickBooks’ convenient-to-use accounting software, accounting is made easy. Many small to medium-sized companies simply don’t have the funding to hire a professional accountant or to outsource their finances to a specialist accounting firm. Therefore, QuickBooks accounting software is an ideal solution for business owners seeking to streamline their accounts payable processes without incurring excessive costs.

Our software gives business owners the ability to manage their own company’s books. Furthermore, we offer extensive tutorials that can help inexperienced business owners and their employees come to grips with their company’s financial records and accounting processes.

Using our accounting software is an effective way to improve your accounts payable process and ensure that it runs smoothly month after month. Accounts payable is also often referred to as “payables”. This is the money that businesses owe other companies for buying certain items on credit. This money is typically due on a predetermined date- often three or six months - and may incur interest or penalties if not paid on time. The term “accounts payable” is also used to refer to a large company’s department in the accounts sector that manages the company’s payments.

The tasks performed by this department typically:

• authorisation of purchase orders
• collecting receipts of credit cards
• keeping note of and organising account withdrawals
• keeping the general ledger updated
• auditing expense reports
• billing of clients for accounts receivable
• payroll
