It’s been a rough week around here…. A few home emergencies threw a massive wrench 🔧 in the week.

When our water heater died (literally hours after a tree fell in our yard) & flooded our basement, I looked to our amazing network of clients to patch things up.

HUGE shout out to Taylor & the amazing team at for saving the day. Josh rolled up quickly, assessed the situation & handled it with incredible professionalism - he even got us laughing. 💪🛠️💧

We were back up & running in no time.

So here is our Friday highlight - while I wish I didn’t have to buy a new water heater this week 😂 - I am glad to have the ability to be able to give first hand recommendations of a wonderful fellow, local, small business!

At Balanced Bookkeeping LLC We are often asked why we insist on client approval for Accounts Payable and why we utilize a bill pay platform with approval workflows. As a former Senior Controls Manager and Internal Auditor, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Having someone else approve bills before they’re paid at a business is an important part of internal controls. These non negotiable rules protect both us and our clients.

While many of our competitors are quietly offshoring, we have been working hard to build an all US/New England based, W2 staff that understands the importance of professional, accurate and responsible bookkeeping. Sending work overseas creates liability and exposes clients to prime opportunities for fraud.

Regardless of the location of your Accounts Payable staff, here are the main reasons why we insist on only utilizing strict and clear AP processes.

Ask yourself: Is your bookkeeper doing the same?

1. Fraud prevention: It helps prevent unauthorized or fraudulent payments. If the same person creates and approves payments, there’s a higher risk of abuse.

2. Error detection: A second set of eyes can catch mistakes like duplicate payments, incorrect amounts, or payments to the wrong vendor.

3. Accountability and transparency: Requiring approval ensures there’s a clear audit trail showing who authorized which payments, which is critical for both internal and external reviews.

4. Budget control: It helps make sure that all spending is necessary and within budget, especially when multiple departments or people are involved in purchasing.

5. Separation of duties: This is a core principle in accounting and finance to minimize risk—splitting responsibilities ensures no one person has too much control over financial transactions.

The recent news of a State Department employee embezzling over $650k is a great, real life example of what happens when these guidelines are not followed.
