Accounts payable

From £2/supplier invoice · £150/month minimum

Supplier invoice capture, coding and posting, with support for clear approval workflows.

  • Payment-run preparation can be included

  • Supplier queries and statement reconciliations are scoped where required
  • Multi-entity or more complex workflows are scoped separately

Bookkeeping fees reflect transaction volume, accounts, entities, VAT, reconciliation complexity and required month-end support. AP fees reflect invoice volume, workflow and query complexity. The starting prices do not include unlimited processing or support.

Accounts payable workflow

A clear route from supplier invoice to client-controlled payment.

The workflow can be adapted to the systems and approval structure in place, while preserving a firm control boundary around bank release.

  1. 01Supplier invoice
  2. 02Capture
  3. 03Coding
  4. 04Posting
  5. 05Approval workflow
  6. 06Payment-run preparation
  7. 07Client bank approval / release

Payment control

Prepared by Scalehouse. Approved and released by the client.

Where included in scope, Scalehouse can prepare a payment run from approved supplier invoices. The client retains responsibility for approval, bank authorisation and release.

  • Approval responsibilities are agreed before processing begins
  • Exceptions remain visible to the appropriate client owner
  • Scalehouse does not authorise or release client bank payments
