The world of accounts payable
Accounts payable (AP) refers to the amount of money that a company owes to its suppliers or creditors for goods or services purchased on credit. It represents a company's obligation to pay off short-term debts to its vendors or suppliers. Accounts payable is listed on the company's balance sheet under current liabilities, as these obligations are typically due to be paid off within a year.
Challenges with traditional AP
Imagine a world where invoices are like puzzle pieces, and you're the hero trying to solve the puzzle. But wait, the pieces keep multiplying, and it feels like a never-ending battle.
Invoice overload: Have you ever felt buried under a mountain of invoices? Accountants live this struggle at the end of each month.
Late payments: Inefficiencies lead to delayed payments, impacting organizational cash flow.
Data entry errors: The risk of errors in manual data entry is high, with potentially severe repercussions for the business.
A typical day in an accountant's life
AP responsibilities have to be taken seriously as one small error can cost the business billions of dollars.
- Thorough-check and review all the invoices.
- Invoice data extraction
- Create new entries in the accounting software.
- Drinking more coffee than you should to live through the day.
Those duties might look easy and simple, but they require time, effort and energy to get them done without errors and within deadlines.
This is where AP automation swoops in
The accounting software market size is estimated at USD 19.74 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 30.66 billion by 2029.
The accounting market is a competitive one and chances are that your competition has already embraced technology for better efficiency.
AP automation isn't just a buzzword; it's your golden ticket out of the invoicing chaos.
What is AP automation?
Accounts payable automation is the process by which AP processes are handled digitally rather than manually. It helps to streamline and enhance accounting processes while minimizing human interactions and errors.
AP automation often utilizes new technologies and software such as AI, OCR, or machine learning.
The cost of processing an invoice digitally is $2.36, compared to $15 for manual invoices.
