What a Virtustant hire handles

What a Remote Accounts Payable Specialist Handles

Specialists who take every bill from inbox to approved payment, so vendors get paid on time and nothing is paid twice.

  • Bills, captured.

    Invoices from email, portals and mail scans are logged the day they arrive, with due dates.

  • Coding, done.

    Each bill is coded to the right account, class and job so your books stay accurate.

  • Matches, checked.

    Invoices are matched to purchase orders and receipts, and mismatches are flagged before payment.

  • Approvals, routed.

    Bills go to the right approver under your rules, with reminders until they are signed off.

  • Payments, prepared.

    Payment runs are prepared for your approval, so vendors are paid on time and never twice.

  • Vendors, reconciled.

    Vendor statements are reconciled and W-9s are kept on file for year-end 1099s.

How quickly can I hire an Accounts Payable Specialist through Virtustant?

You get a shortlist of 3 to 5 vetted candidates within 48 hours of your first call, and your hire can start in 72 hours.

What does a LATAM Accounts Payable Specialist cost?

A dedicated accounts payable specialist starts from $8.50/hr all-in, about $1,360 a month full-time at 160 hours, with zero recruitment fees. For reference, the BLS median wage for bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks was $24.36 an hour in May 2025, so the starting rate is about 35% of it.

What can a remote Accounts Payable Specialist handle, and which tools do they use?

Invoice capture and coding, purchase-order and receipt matching, approval routing, payment runs prepared for your sign-off, vendor statement reconciliation, and W-9 and 1099 records, in tools such as Bill.com, QuickBooks, Xero, Expensify, and Microsoft Excel. Payments go out only on your approval. Tell us your accounting system, your monthly invoice volume and your approval rules on the first call and we match candidates to all three.

What is the replacement guarantee?

Every placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee with no time cap: if your hire ever leaves, we replace them at no cost. Engagements are month-to-month, and there are zero placement fees.

How does Virtustant pricing work?

One all-in hourly rate covers the professional's pay, payroll and the paperwork. There is no recruitment or placement fee, and engagements are month to month.

Do you work with large or small companies?

Both. Virtustant places professionals with startups, small businesses and enterprise teams across the US, from a single hire to whole teams.

Is a nearshore hire better than offshore?

For most US teams, yes: a nearshore hire from Latin America works your business hours, so you collaborate in real time instead of across a 10- to 12-hour gap.

What if the hire is not the right fit?

Every placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee: if your hire ever leaves or is not the right fit, we replace them at no cost.
