Hire a Fractional AP Specialist

Get a vetted AP Specialist who owns the payables cycle, pays vendors on time, and keeps your cash outflow controlled and clean.

Why Hire a Fractional AP Specialist

Invoices are slipping through the cracks

Bills get paid late or twice, and vendor relationships are starting to feel the strain.

Your close waits on payables

Month-end drags because AP is not reconciled and accruals are a scramble.

Senior staff are keying invoices

An accountant who should be doing higher-value work is stuck in the payables queue.

A full-time AP hire is more than you need

The volume is steady but not heavy enough to justify a permanent seat.

Fractional or full-time?

Full-time fits when invoice volume is high and constant. Fractional fits when you need reliable payables ownership on a defined scope, with hours that flex as volume moves.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a fractional AP Specialist clean up a payables backlog?

    Yes. Clearing a backlog and restoring vendor terms is a common first project, after which they move into steady-state ownership of the cycle.

  • Which AP tools do your specialists know?

    Our AP Specialists are fluent in tools like Bill.com, Tipalti, and the AP modules in NetSuite and QuickBooks. We match on the systems you run.

  • Will an AP Specialist help tighten our spending controls?

    Yes. Applying and improving approval workflows is part of the role, which reduces duplicate payments and unauthorized spend.

  • Can one specialist cover both AP and light reconciliation work?

    Often yes. Many AP Specialists also own AP reconciliation and accruals, which keeps the close from bottlenecking on payables.

  • How do you protect us from payment fraud with a remote hire?

    Talent works within your systems and approval controls, and MAVI manages access and compliance, so segregation of duties stays intact.
