Invoice Processing Virtual Assistants: AP Automation Support
Invoice processing is one of the most time-consuming finance tasks — every invoice needs to be received, verified, coded, approved, and entered into the accounting system. A dedicated invoice processing VA handles this high-volume work systematically, reducing processing costs from $15+ per invoice to under $5.
Key Data: Companies processing 1,000+ invoices/month save $10,000-$15,000/month by using VA support instead of in-house AP staff alone (IOFM 2025). The VA handles data entry, coding, and routing while your AP manager focuses on approvals, exceptions, and vendor relationships.
What This VA Handles
- Invoice receipt and logging — collecting invoices from email, mail, and vendor portals into a central system
- Data entry — entering invoice details into QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or other accounting platforms
- GL coding — assigning correct general ledger accounts, cost centers, and project codes
- Approval routing — sending invoices through approval workflows, following up on pending approvals
- Duplicate detection — checking for duplicate invoices before processing to prevent double payments
- Vendor statement reconciliation — comparing vendor statements against recorded invoices to identify missing items
