What it does

An AP review that never runs behind.

01

Reads every bill, card, and expense.

Vendor bills, employee reimbursements, corporate cards. Pulled the moment they hit your inbox or post to the card. Coded against the right job and cost code.

02

Checks the math.

PO match, cost code, retainage, sales tax, 2/10 net 30 discount windows. Three-way match before anything moves.

03

Flags what doesn't look right.

Duplicates against the last 90 days. Missing W-9 on a 1099-eligible category. Lapsed COI on the vendor. Out-of-budget cost code. You see it before you approve.

04

Routes a clean queue.

Approver, dollar threshold, project manager. Whoever owns it. Exceptions land in your inbox with a one-line reason. Clean bills queue straight for approval.

A sample run

94 bills. 23 card charges. 6 exceptions.
