✦ About this service
About Payment Management
What you're owed and what you owe can feel like two separate problems, but they're really one problem viewed from two directions: your cash position.
Why profit on paper doesn't always mean cash in the bank
A business can be profitable and still feel tight month to month when receivables and payables are tracked separately, or not tracked closely at all. The gap between when money is earned and when it actually lands is where the squeeze happens.
How both sides get managed together here
Every bill logged and scheduled ahead of its due date, every client invoice tracked and followed up on, and both sides reported together so you're looking at one accurate cash position instead of two partial ones.
- Covers every bank account you run the business through — operating, payroll, or project-specific
- Payments either executed directly on your behalf or routed to you for final approval, your choice
- Delivered as one monthly AP/AR summary, with a current number available any time you ask
✦ What we fix
Payment Management issues we solve
Vendor bills paid late because nobody tracked the due date
The money was there, but no one was watching the calendar. We log every bill and schedule payment ahead of its due date.
No exact number for what clients owe you
A rough sense of outstanding balances isn't the same as an accurate one. We track every invoice from sent to paid and can produce an exact number at any time.
Cash feels tight despite the business being profitable
Profit on paper and cash in the bank are two different things when receivables and payables aren't managed together. We track both sides continuously so timing gaps get caught before they become a crunch.
Multiple accounts with no consolidated view
Payroll, operations, and project accounts each tell a partial story on their own. We track all of them together for one accurate picture of your cash position.
Following up on late-paying clients keeps getting pushed off
Without a system, collections become whatever gets done when there's time. We handle structured follow-up on a set schedule so it happens regardless of how busy the month gets.

Common questions about Payment Management
Sekou the Bookkeeper at S&C Bookkeeping manages both accounts receivable and accounts payable for small businesses in West Philadelphia and across the greater Philadelphia area, tracking what you owe and what you're owed in one place.
Yes — S&C Bookkeeping, based in West Philadelphia, offers combined accounts receivable and payable management for small businesses throughout Philadelphia.
Invoicing covers getting paid for what you've billed. Payment management is broader — it covers both sides: what clients owe you (AR) and what you owe vendors (AP), fully managed together.
We handle the scheduling and confirmation so payments go out on time. Depending on your setup, either we execute payments directly through your accounts or prepare them for your final approval — whichever you're more comfortable with.
We flag priority and timing so you can make an informed call, and we can recommend an order based on due dates, vendor relationships and any early-payment discounts available.
Yes. Many of our clients run separate accounts for operating expenses, payroll or specific projects, and we track all of them in one consolidated view.
You'll get a monthly summary, but if you need a real-time answer sooner, you can always ask — we track this continuously, not just at reporting time.
