Accounts Payable Automation: Reduce Manual Finance Work

Accounts payable should not depend on repetitive data entry, disconnected inboxes and manual handoffs. Twofold helps finance teams automate invoice capture, processing and workflow so supplier invoices move through AP with greater speed, visibility and control.

  • 20,000 Invoices A Month:  A real finance shared service using automation to manage invoice volumes at scale. 
  • Less Than 10% Manual Touch Time:  Automation sharply reduces the repetitive administration involved in processing invoices. 
  • A 1-3 Day Turnaround:  A structured AP process can cut total invoice turnaround from 10 to 20 days to just 1 to 3 days. 

The Critical Gap In Manual Accounts Payable

As Invoice volumes grow, manual AP processes create more administration, more exceptions and less visibility. The result is a finance team spending too much time moving invoices through the process and not enough time focusing on work that needs finance expertise.

Manual AP Work

Repetitive data entry, checking and invoice handling consume finance capacity and make it difficult to scale efficiently.

Slow Invoice Turnaround

 Invoices can wait in inboxes, queues and approval steps, increasing processing time and creating avoidable supplier queries.

Limited Process Visibility 

When work is spread across email, spreadsheets and disconnected systems, finance teams cannot easily see where an invoice is or what needs attention.

Exceptions Create Bottlenecks

Missing information, mismatches and non-standard invoices require human input. Without a structured process, exceptions can disrupt the wider AP operation.

Why Automating Accounts Payable Works

Bring invoice capture, processing and workflow into one structured AP process so automation handles repetitive activity and finance teams focus on the work that genuinely needs human judgment.

  • Automated Invoice Capture: Capture supplier invoices from the channels your business already uses and extract the information needed for processing.  

  • Smarter AP Processing:  Use automation, AI and machine learning to reduce manual data entry, support validation and move invoices through a consistent finance process. 

  • Greater Control and Visibility:  Give finance teams a clearer view of invoice status, exceptions and workflow activity so work can be managed more effectively.

What our customers say


“I would like to extend my thanks to three of your employees for the first class service they have provided UK Power Networks this week.

Russell picked up my call when off with covid and spent some time with me talking through our issues, Aaron arranged a quick replacement engineer to reach us the very next working day, despite Russell still being absent. Ian was helpful, friendly, informative, and provided a great fix for an ancillary issue we faced, which will really help us going forward.

I do like getting great service and all three of these guys delivered.”
