Project idea
Intelligent AP Automation
Cut cost per invoice by 80%. Capture every early-pay discount.
The SMB problem
Your AP team is always behind. Late fees pile up. Early-pay discounts go uncaptured because there is no time to optimize payment timing. Three-way matching is a wish, not a process.
What the consultant fraction-ao places does
fraction-ao places a consultant who selects, deploys, and tunes an AI AP automation platform: invoice capture, GL coding, three-way match, exception routing, and payment optimization.
What PA&A does
PA&A takes over the supervised AP function: vendor management, 1099 compliance, dispute resolution, and monthly accruals.
Proof points from real-world deployments
A $52M food distributor (case study above) cut cost per invoice from $14 to $1.80 and captured $145K in early-pay discounts in year one. SMB payback is 2 to 4 months. Three-year ROI of 1,000% plus is the norm, not the exception.
