Stop Chasing Lien Waivers and Start Protecting Your Profit Margins.

In the fast-paced world of US construction—from the high-rises of New York City to the sprawling residential developments in Texas—manual AP processes aren’t just a “bottleneck”; they are a financial liability.

You’re dealing with fluctuating material costs, strict retainage clauses, and the constant pressure of “pay-when-paid” cycles. When your vendor payments are slow or inaccurate, your job sites stall, your best subcontractors leave for other bids, and your legal risk skyrockets.

At APS (Account Payable Services), we don’t just give you another software login. We provide a fully managed vendor payment ecosystem tailored for the American construction environment. We handle the paperwork, the compliance, and the disbursements so you can stay focused on the build.

Core Services: Localized for the US Regulatory Landscape

While big-box ERPs focus on “features,” we focus on the specific milestones that keep your project moving within the United States business climate.

1. Automated Lien Waiver & Compliance Tracking

Never cut a check without a signature again. We manage the collection and verification of unconditional and conditional lien waivers, ensuring you are protected against double-payment risks and mechanics’ liens in all 50 states.

2. Retainage & Milestone Management

Managing the “10% holdback” shouldn’t be a spreadsheet nightmare. We automate the tracking of retainage across multiple phases of a project, ensuring accurate final payouts that satisfy both your subs and your lenders.

3. US-Specific Tax & 1099 Reporting

From W-9 collection during vendor onboarding to year-end 1099-NEC filings, we keep you compliant with the IRS. We ensure your domestic and international vendors are vetted, verified, and paid in USD ($) without the typical month-end scramble.

4. Subcontractor Portal & Inquiry Handling

Tired of “Where is my check?” calls? We provide a white-glove communication layer. Your vendors get a dedicated point of contact, reducing friction and maintaining the healthy relationships you need to win future bids.

Why Choose APS: Global Expertise + Local Care

The Competitors’ Gap: Oracle and NetSuite provide the “engine,” but you still have to drive the car. If your data is messy, their software just makes the mess happen faster.

The APS Difference:

• We Are Your Back Office: We don’t just sell you a tool; we become your expert AP department. We handle the data entry, the invoice matching, and the dispute resolution.
• Localized Knowledge: We understand the nuances of American building codes, insurance requirements (COIs), and the specific payment timelines of US commercial and residential sectors.
• Fraud Prevention: We implement multi-level approvals and bank-level verification to prevent the growing trend of “Business Email Compromise” that targets US construction firms.
