Accounts payable outsourcing in the UK
Invoices that sit in shared inboxes, unclear approvals and inconsistent supplier records create avoidable cost and payment risk. Lion Contracting Services provides practical accounts payable support for businesses that need a dependable UK process without adding a full internal AP team.
What our AP support covers
- Finance inbox and invoice receipt management
- Invoice data capture and coding support
- Purchase order and goods-received matching
- Duplicate and exception checks
- Approval chasing and workflow tracking
- Supplier statement reconciliation
- Payment-run preparation and reporting
- Month-end accrual and outstanding-invoice information
More control, fewer surprises
A good AP process makes ownership visible. We help document who can approve expenditure, how supplier bank details are verified, what happens when an invoice does not match a purchase order and how exceptions are reported. Your own authorised team remains responsible for final payment approval.
Support for international businesses
For overseas businesses with UK suppliers, AP is often the link between the local operation and the international finance team. We provide clear status reporting and structured hand-offs, with support for English, Dutch and German-speaking stakeholders where required.
Flexible scope
Support can begin with a defined invoice volume or a focused pilot. We can help with a backlog, establish a recurring process or provide additional capacity during growth, system implementation or team absence.
