What it actually means to hire an Invoice Processing Executive here

This is the front door of your Accounts Payable process — where an incoming supplier invoice gets captured, checked against what was actually ordered and received, coded to the right place, and either passed through clean or flagged if something doesn't add up. It's not about typing numbers into a system. It's the control that stops a wrong or fraudulent invoice from ever reaching a payment run.

Once an invoice is processed, it's ready for our Accounts Payable service to actually pay it, or for your own AP team to take from there.

Our process

How Hiring an Invoice Processing Executive With Us Actually Works

The same four steps whether you're processing fifty invoices a month or eight hundred.

1

NDA & system access

We sign a full NDA, then connect to your capture tool and accounting system — Dext, Hubdoc, Xero, Sage or whatever's already running.

2

10-hour free trial

Your assigned specialist processes a real batch of your invoices — often the current backlog — so you can judge matching and coding accuracy first.

3

Choose your monthly hours

Scoped against your actual invoice volume — 40, 80 or 160 hours a month, reviewed and adjustable every cycle.

4

Invoices flow through clean, every day

Captured, matched, coded and queued for payment — with exceptions flagged rather than guessed through.

Why UK businesses come to us

What an unmanaged invoice queue is actually costing you

None of this is a competence problem. It's a volume problem — one person can keep up with fifty invoices a month between other tasks, not five hundred.

BEFORE
Invoices sit in an inbox until someone has a spare hour

Capture and coding happen in batches whenever there's time, so the queue is always weeks behind arrival.

AFTER
Processed same-day or next-day, on a fixed rhythm

Every invoice is captured and coded within a set turnaround, so the queue never has a chance to build up.

BEFORE
Mismatched invoices get coded on a best guess

No one checks the PO or goods receipt before it's approved, so pricing errors and duplicate charges slip through.

AFTER
Every invoice 3-way matched before it's coded

PO, goods receipt and invoice are checked against each other, and anything that doesn't agree gets flagged, not guessed.

BEFORE
Nobody can say how many invoices are actually outstanding

Without a managed queue, there's no real visibility into what's processed, what's pending, and what's stuck.

AFTER
A clear queue status, whenever you ask for it

Processed, pending and exception counts are tracked, so you always know exactly where things stand.

No card, no contract — let us process a real batch and judge the accuracy yourself.

What this actually covers

What we do every processing cycle — and what we take off your plate as it grows

Scoped to fit however much of the invoice queue you want to hand over, from clearing a backlog to running the whole front-door process.

Whatever your job spec calls this — Invoice Processing Executive, Invoice Data Entry Specialist, AP Processing Executive, or Purchase Ledger Clerk — it's the same work we do every day for UK businesses.

Core processing cycle

Included from day one, at any tier
Invoice capture

Every incoming supplier invoice logged from PDF, email or OCR feed.

3-way matching

Checked against the purchase order and goods receipt before it's coded.

Coding & handoff

Coded to the correct nominal code and cost centre, then queued for payment.

Senior & oversight processing

At the 160-hour tier, or as your volume grows
  • Exception routing and query resolution with requesters
  • Weekly queue-status and processing-time reporting
  • Multi-entity, multi-currency queue management
  • Escalation handling with your finance lead

What to check before choosing an invoice processing provider

  • Do you get a named, dedicated processor — or an anonymous rotating team?
  • Are they certified for data security — ISO 27001, GDPR — before you hand over supplier data?
  • Do they already work in your capture and accounting software?
  • Is backlog clearance included, or charged as a separate project?
  • Are exceptions flagged and routed, or coded through on a guess?

From businesses we've worked with

Don't take our word for it — here's what they noticed first

★★★★★

"We had a shoebox of unprocessed invoices, genuinely. Six weeks later it was a clean, current queue and it's stayed that way."

GD
Grace Delaney
Finance Manager, Delaney Wholesale Foods
★★★★★

"Having every invoice actually matched to a PO before it's coded caught two pricing errors in the first month alone."

IB
Idris Bakare
Ops Director, Bakare Construction Group
★★★★★

"As a practice, this frees up our own team to do actual accounting instead of data entry."

RC
Rebecca Chu
Partner, Chu & Associates
★★★★★

"Same-day processing means our AP team is never waiting on us to code something before they can pay it."

SN
Sam Novak
Financial Controller, Novak Retail Group
★★★★★

"We started at 40 hours to clear a backlog and moved to 80 once we saw how much time it actually freed up."

Priya Anand

"Genuinely feels like we added a processing desk, not an outsourced vendor."

Common Questions About Hiring an Invoice Processing Executive

Captures incoming supplier invoices, matches each one against a purchase order and goods receipt, codes it to the correct nominal code and cost centre, and resolves any mismatch before it's handed off for payment.
Invoice Processing is the front door — capture, matching and coding. Accounts Payable picks up from there — payment runs, supplier reconciliation and query resolution. Many clients use both together; some only need the front door covered because their own team handles payments.
Checking that the invoice, the purchase order, and the goods receipt note all agree — same supplier, same items, same quantities and price — before the invoice is approved for payment. It's the main control against paying for something that was never ordered or never arrived.
Yes — high volume is what this role is built for. We scope hours against your actual invoice count, and the 160-hour tier is specifically for businesses processing 800+ invoices a month.
Dext, AutoEntry and Hubdoc for OCR-based capture, feeding into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or NetSuite. If you're not on OCR capture yet, we can process directly from PDF or paper-scanned invoices too.
It gets flagged as an exception and routed back to whoever raised the PO or approved the order, with the specific discrepancy noted. Nothing gets coded and passed through on a guess.
£8 to £15 an hour depending on volume and complexity, billed monthly for hours used — a fraction of a UK in-house hire once salary, NI, pension and recruiting are factored in.
Yes — backlog clearance is a common starting point. We work through the queue systematically until it's current, then move onto same-day or next-day processing as invoices arrive.
A named, dedicated Invoice Processing Executive is standard. A shared-pool arrangement is available for overflow during peak periods, alongside your dedicated person rather than instead of them.
A full NDA is signed before any access is granted. We're ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and we work only inside your existing systems — nothing is exported or copied elsewhere.
No. You start with a free 10-hour trial, move to a monthly arrangement if it's working, and can scale hours up, down, or stop entirely whenever you need to.
Whether you get a named dedicated person, whether they're certified for data security, whether they already work in your capture and accounting software, whether backlog clearance is included, and whether exceptions are flagged rather than guessed through.
