AP that works from a position of management, not crisis.
If your invoices are running you instead of the other way around
that's the problem I fix.
I help real estate companies with multiple properties manage their payables so the team works from a position of management, not crisis.Organized processes. Reliable systems. AP that supports your close cycle instead of disrupting it.
Sound familiar?
Invoices coming in from multiple properties with no consistent process for handling them.Every processor doing it differently — different inboxes, different systems, different habits.Month-end arrives and nobody is sure which invoices have been pulled, which are still outstanding, and which slipped through entirely.Late fees. Vendor complaints. Staff accountants waiting on accruals that should have been ready days ago.If this is your back office right now, you don't have a cash flow problem. You have a process problem.
Here's what changes.
I come in, map what's broken, and build a standardized AP process your entire team can follow — across every property, every vendor, every invoice.That means:→ One consistent process across all properties
→ Invoices tracked, pulled, and paid on time — every month
→ Month-end close supported instead of delayed
→ Your team working from a system, not memoryNo more chasing. No more guessing. No more late fees that didn't need to happen.
What this looks like in practice.
At a 160-property real estate company, 1,065 utility invoices were being tracked inconsistently across the AP team — every processor working differently, all of it stored in a platform that wasn't built for the job.I built an AI-powered daily briefing system that surfaces exactly which invoices need to be pulled each day, organized by property, vendor, and due date.The result: every invoice pulled before month end, close time reduced, and staff accountants receiving the accrual support they need — on time.That system is now being rolled out across the full team.*Details anonymized to protect client confidentiality.
How I can help.
| Service | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| AP Process Audit | I assess your current AP process across all properties, identify what's breaking down, and deliver a clear picture of where the gaps are and what to fix first. |
| AP Standardization | I build your AP playbook — one consistent process your entire team follows across every property. Invoices handled the same way, every time. |
| AvidXchange Optimization | Most companies use a fraction of what AvidXchange can do. I configure and expand your AVID setup to match how your business actually operates. |
| AI Workflow Integration | I embed AI tools into your AP process — automating the repetitive work, reducing manual tracking, and keeping your team focused on exceptions, not data entry. |
| Monthly Retainer | Ongoing support, maintenance, and training to keep your AP process running cleanly as your portfolio grows. |
