Find out how accountants are saving time and money while improving their services.
Liquid helps accountants and bookkeepers work more efficiently, improve controls, enhance financial forecast accuracy, and simplify payments for freelancers, independent contractors, and vendors.
Fast and Easy Set-up
Setting up accounts in Liquid is simple and quick — completing the steps is a matter of minutes. Once the account is created, companies can immediately begin engaging freelancers for on-demand and project-based work.
Managing clients couldn’t be easier for accountants and bookkeepers in the Liquid Accountant Partner Program. From the online client management console, you can access every client from one account. Plus, all the reports you need to track cash flow, accruals, and more are right at your fingertips.
Vendor Onboarding Documentation
Whenever a company onboard a new independent contractor or vendor, all essential information is collected upfront. This means that W-9 or W-8 forms and the associated data are ready and waiting for you when it’s time for filing tax forms, like the 1099-NEC.
Plus, all the details required for payment are already captured — no more chasing after vendors to gather their financial information before paying them.
Automated and Customized Workflows
Automated invoice review and approval workflows are essential for streamlining AP processes. Liquid automates the invoice approval process for you, preventing errors and saving you time — eliminating manual coding and routing.
Each invoice is automatically assigned to the respective hiring manager for review. Once the hiring manager has approved the invoice, it’s automatically routed for any further reviews and approvals based on the established rules. The approval rules can be completely customized for each company, providing the controls that you need. For example, different invoice amounts could have different approval requirements.
Accountants tell us that their favorite Liquid feature is Work Order to Invoice matching. Liquid’s algorithm automatically matches invoices to work orders for you, catching and alerting you to issues such as duplicate billing and overbilling. An accountant working with a 750-person consulting firm shared that she saves many hours every month using invoice matching. Now she can see at a glance if invoices include out-of-scope hours or additional line items.
Audit-Ready Data and Documents
With Liquid, accountants and bookkeepers have an organized and ready-for-audit document management system. All executed documents, invoices, and transactions are securely stored, providing a readily accessible audit trail.
By using Liquid’s Work Order functionality, companies can ensure clear and agreed-upon terms with their vendors, with defined deliverables, rates, expectations, and cost estimates.
