Managing supplier and payroll payments for clients can often feel like a juggling act. Between chasing approvals, navigating outdated systems, and ensuring compliance, it's no wonder many accountancy firms find this area to be a headache. But what if you could transform the chaos into a streamlined process that works like clockwork?
Let’s explore practical tips and solutions to help you streamline payment processes, delivering more value to clients while freeing up time for your team.
Before we dive into solutions, let’s look at why payment management can be so challenging for accountants:
Manual Processes: Many firms still rely on spreadsheets and paper trails, which are prone to human error and inefficiency.
Time-Consuming Tasks: Gathering payment approvals, reconciling accounts, and processing payments manually can eat up valuable hours.
Compliance Risks: Without the right systems in place, ensuring compliance with anti-fraud measures and data protection laws can be daunting.
Client Expectations: Business owners increasingly expect accountants to offer a seamless, tech-driven experience.
Technology is your best friend when it comes to efficiency. Tools like Telleroo allow you to automate the payment process, reducing the risk of errors and freeing up time for more strategic work. Automation ensures consistency, improves accuracy, and helps you scale services without adding complexity.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in payment management is chasing approvals. Implementing a centralised system where clients can approve payments digitally eliminates back-and-forth emails and keeps the process transparent and auditable.
Clear communication is key to avoiding delays and misunderstandings. Using technology that allows you and the client to handle the entire process in one place is key to clear communication and audit trails around the payment process, driving efficiency but also protecting you and your team. This not only builds trust but also reduces the number of queries your team has to handle.
Payments are a prime target for fraud, so make sure your systems include robust security measures. Look for platforms with multi-factor authentication, audit trails, and real-time fraud monitoring. Being proactive about security not only protects your clients but also enhances your firm’s reputation.

Every client is unique, but your processes don’t have to be. Create standard operating procedures (SOPs) for payment workflows that can be adapted slightly for each client. This ensures consistency, reduces training time for your team, and makes scaling your services easier.
