Questions
Hiring a ap/ar clerk
Something else on your mind? Our Australian team can talk it through.
Can they chase overdue invoices on our behalf?
Yes. Debtor follow-up via email and phone is a core AR task. Escalation protocols for aged debtors are set during onboarding.
Can they process a high volume of supplier invoices?
Yes. For businesses with 200–500+ invoices per month, an offshore AP clerk provides dedicated processing capacity.
How do they handle supplier disputes?
Routine disputes (pricing errors, duplicate invoices) are handled offshore. Complex or relationship-critical supplier issues are escalated to local management.
Can they prepare the AP payment run?
Yes — they prepare the payment run file for approval by a local authorised signatory. They don't hold payment authority.
How do they reconcile statements?
Supplier statements are matched against the ledger, discrepancies identified and investigated, and adjustments processed with appropriate approval.
