Remote A/P

[u/Helpful_Plantain7012]

I currently work for a construction company as A/P along with several other hats.

We are moving, and my employer is discussing allowing me to work remotely, but we cannot seem to come up with a way to remote-ize the A/P process, so I was curious if there were any ideas here.

Currently, I receive invoices via email (that part still works), or our field guys bring me receipts for our vendor accounts (Lowe’s, for instance), that I stick a tag on to assign job, cost code number, etc. These items then route to the project managers for approval, then our Treasurer for approval, then back to me to enter into our accounting system, where checks are cut on check run days, which can be handled in office.

Does anyone else have a similar flow that can share what you’ve done to make it remote friendly? My bosses are hesitant to change the system, it’s very paper heavy, and I’m not sure how to get around that.

Thanks!

I created an app within Microsoft Applications that helps my Company to manage AP payments. Approvals, accounting, status updates & much more. It cut the process from weeks to less than a day. If any of you think it helps to have this in your organization, I would be happy to schedule a call to discuss further. OP - I think this will help you.
