What it does

Track every vendor invoice, catch duplicates before you overpay, and never miss an early payment discount again. This AP manager logs bills from a plain-English description, builds a payment schedule sorted by due date, generates AP aging reports, forecasts weekly cash outflow, and flags price spikes vs vendor history — purpose-built for the 5-200 invoice/month small business that's outgrown spreadsheets but can't justify Bill.com at $79/user/mo. ## What's included - **Plain-English invoice logging** — "Sysco delivered $1,247 produce today, net-30, invoice #4837" → fully structured AP entry with vendor, amount, terms, due date, category - **Automatic duplicate detection** — flags suspected double-billed invoices (same vendor + amount + ±3 days) BEFORE you cut the check; prevents the most common AP fraud + error pattern - **Early payment discount tracker** — 2/10 net-30 means pay in 10 days, save 2% — that's a 36% annualized return; agent surfaces every discount window and calculates whether your cash position justifies taking it - **Payment schedule** — sorted by due date, overdue auto-flagged at top, color-coded by urgency, batch-payment groupings (Friday weekly run, Tuesday/Thursday twice-weekly) - **AP aging report** — current / 1-30 / 31-60 / 61-90 / 90+ buckets by vendor; CPA / banker / line-of-credit-renewal ready - **Weekly cash flow forecast** — "what do I owe vendors next week / next month?" → exact dollar amount + which vendors + payment dates - **Price spike alerts** — if Sysco's monthly produce average is $4,200 and this month's invoice is $6,180, agent flags it for review BEFORE payment (could be legit volume, could be billing error, could be price hike worth a vendor conversation) - **Vendor history** — per-vendor: total spend YTD, average invoice, payment terms, contact info, 1099 tracking for year-end - **1099 prep** — flags vendors crossing $600 threshold, generates contractor list for January W-9 collection / 1099-NEC issuance ## Limitations - **Not a payment processor** — generates payment schedules + check / ACH worksheets; actual payment via your bank's bill pay, Melio, or paper check - **Not a full accounting system** — pairs with QuickBooks / Xero / Wave for the GL side; this is the AP module specifically - **Not OCR for paper invoices** — describe the invoice; agent doesn't read PDFs (yet) - **Not a 3-way match system** — doesn't reconcile PO → receipt → invoice (that's enterprise ERP territory) - **U.S.-tax-focused** — Canadian (GST/HST) and UK (VAT) tax categorization differs ## Best fit Restaurants (40-150 vendor invoices/month from food, beverage, paper, services), small contractors (subcontractors + materials suppliers + equipment rental), retailers (inventory + utilities + services), service businesses (subscriptions + 1099 contractors + landlord). Especially valuable for owner-operators where every hour spent on AP is an hour NOT spent on revenue. At $14/mo, catching ONE duplicate invoice ($200-$2K) OR ONE early payment discount ($50-$300/mo recurring) pays for years of subscription.
