SparcPay for accountants and bookkeepers is a no-brainer. Why wouldn’t these professionals want an integrated, secure, digital solution that:
- Allows for complete review and approval of bills via web and mobile from anywhere.
- Eliminates paper from the entire accounts payable process.
- Makes all accounting processes paperless.
- Saves time and money.

No-brainer indeed. An efficient accounts payable process.
SparcPay’s mission is to eliminate friction in business operations and accounting processes—and thereby bolster the bottom line of our clients. With numerous accountants and bookkeepers we’ve done just that.
Conventional accounts payable practices
Cheques are a mainstay of many conventional AP practices, but most accountants and bookkeepers would agree that manually preparing and signing them is both time-consuming and annoying. They are also common targets for fraud as forging cheques is a time-honoured tradition. And despite being made of paper, cheques occasionally bounce, which creates a myriad of time-consuming, energy-sucking costly problems to deal with, such as bank and interest charges. Furthermore, cheques are often slow getting delivered—and sometimes don’t get delivered at all. Hearing the phrase, “Cheque’s in the mail,” is not necessarily comforting to the recipient . . . On top of that, cheques are not integrated with the accounting system, so dual data entry and reconciliation is required. Cheques are such a source of friction that it’s a wonder that they don’t just spontaneously combust. But fear not, cheques are so clunky they’ll likely soon fade from the accounting and bookkeeping landscape.
E-transfers are another common means of processing accounts payable in B2B environments and they too present problems. Submitting an e-transfer requires manual processing and the subsequent recording of the transaction in the accounting system. And because the transfer is to an email address, it is not secure because the email could conceivably be intercepted. Furthermore, the remittance requires that an additional email be sent to the vendor/supplier explaining the amount of the deposit and reason for it. e-transfers are also subject to daily limits and amount limits.
