What it costs, how long it takes, and what changes when you fill the seat with us. The numbers come from the 17 AP, AR and payroll postings we read.
We read 17 US AP, AR and payroll postings in full. These are the duties they named most, and who takes each one when we fill the seat.
A posting counts if it names the duty anywhere in its text. From our September 2026 read of real US postings (AP, AR and payroll postings counted together). Your own posting is sorted the same way on the first call.
The accounts receivable specialist seat's month, as one checklist. The agents tick their lines first. Your AR specialist checks every one of them, then does the work that needs a person.
The same list every month, checked by your person before it reaches you. The hours report shows the routine share moving to the agents over time.
$57,494 is the median pay in the 13 AP, AR and payroll postings we read that listed pay. Posted pay is where the cost starts. Every employer pays two more lines on top: payroll taxes and benefits, at the federal average for companies under 50 staff.
That is $19,300 a year the posting never shows.
An illustration from public averages, not a quote. Each line is rounded to the nearest $100. Same method as our seat cost calculator, where you can put in the pay you posted. What loaded cost means
Every accounts receivable specialist we put forward has been through all four before their resume reaches you.
Years in the systems your post names, plus the degree or certificate it asks for.
A timed test on sample books: a bank reconciliation and a month-end close.
A recorded call and a written answer, in plain English, that you can watch before the interview.
References and identity, done before the resume reaches you.
The link, or paste the task list. We sort every duty on it, line by line like the list above: what software does from day one, what needs a person, and whether anything really needs the building.
Named accounts receivable specialists with real resumes, each already working alongside our agents and through the four checks. Interviewing is free.
Hire them onto your payroll, or take them as a dedicated person we employ. Either way the agents come set up for the software your posting names.
Week 1 is access and procedures, week 2 is guided work against your current process, week 3 onward is full production. The first 30 days, in detail
On your payroll, directed by you, placed and trained by us. If the agents stop adding value, we leave and you keep the person.
How hiring worksWorks only for you, in your tools. Payroll, benefits and cover are ours. As the agents take hours, we buy them back and your bill goes down.
How dedicated worksA wrong hire costs you a quarter and a severance conversation. Every route below is reversible on purpose.
Try them with the agents for a month. If it does not feel right, we buy back every hour they and the agents worked.
A placement is guaranteed for six months: a replacement from our network, or the fee back as credit. Your pick.
Then we leave and you keep the person. The hire is yours, on your payroll, directed by you.
Your books live in your own software the whole time, so leaving is a handover, not a rescue.
The agents connect to your accounting system with a user or key you create and can switch off. No switch required.
StripePayouts matched back to the invoices, fees and refunds behind them.
ShopifyStore sales, payouts and refunds brought into the books.
ClioLegal bills and client trust balances brought into the books.
BuildiumRent charged and collected, matched by unit and owner.Your person also works in anything else you give them a login to, like your CRM and your customer portals. The agents do not connect to those; they work on what those systems export. All 15 systems the agents connect to
You set the tone and the schedule. The agents send what your person approved; anything unusual goes to the person, not to the customer.
Your person recommends it and you decide. The agents never change what a customer owes.
Your person can work in any system you give them a login to. The agents work in the accounting and payment software listed on our software page.
Often, yes. We sort your posting first. If the agents take enough of the routine on both sides, one person can own both, and we tell you that on the first call.
Try them with the agents for a month. If it does not feel right, we buy back every hour they and the agents worked, and your other applicants are still there. After that, a placement is guaranteed for six months: a replacement from our network, or the fee back as credit against the agents fee. Your choice.
Within the month. Week 1 is access and procedures, week 2 is guided work against your current process, week 3 onward is full production. We never promise a start inside a week, because a careful handover takes longer than that.
The person you pick, plus the people who check their work. Each one signs in with a second code on top of a password and works only inside your own software, and your data is encrypted when it moves and when it is stored.
Pick the role and leave your work email. We find your posting from your company and send you matched candidates, free.
