Two sides of your finances. One place to manage them.
Most teams run accounts payable in one tool, accounts receivable in another, and reconcile them in a spreadsheet that pretends to tie them together. With Alternative Payments, both sides live in one platform.
Accounts payable and accounts receivable, in one place
Most businesses run what they owe and what they're owed in two disconnected systems, with nothing tying them together. With Alternative Payments, everything lives in the same platform, posts back to the same accounting software, and gives you a clear view of cash flow.
Automatically capture and handle vendor bills
Forward vendor bills to a dedicated address, upload them, or let us pull them directly QBO. We read the line items, code the GL, and stage the bill for approval. Approvers see what they need to see and click approve. Payment runs by ACH, card, or check. The whole motion takes minutes, not days, and your team can answer any vendor question in seconds.
Trusted by MSPs, accounting firms, and service businesses
With deep integrations into your PSA, ERP, and accounting tools, Alternative Payments is purpose-built for service businesses. Financial operations run themselves, so your team focuses on what actually grows the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accounts Payable, or AP, is the money your business owes to vendors and suppliers. AP automation captures the bill, routes it for approval, pays the vendor, and posts the result back to your accounting software. Less manual work for your team. Less time between the invoice hitting your inbox and the vendor getting paid.
For most service businesses, manual AP takes ten to twenty hours a week between bill entry, approvals, and payment runs. With Alternative Payments, those hours come back to your team. Bills get captured automatically, approvals route on their own, and payments run on schedule.
Vendors get paid on time, in the method they prefer, with clear remittance information. When something does not match, your team can answer in seconds because the full bill and approval history live in one place. Vendors stop calling to chase. Your team stops apologizing.
