The Ultimate Guide to Vendor Management Strategies

The core of each organisation's procurement process is its vendors. Nonetheless, a lot of businesses sometimes undervalue the significance of building strong bonds with their vendors. Due to this, they sometimes deteriorate the relationship with their vendors and do not receive materials or goods from them. That is why these companies are getting interested in vendor management systems.

Hey if you happen to work for a small business and you use Office 365 for anything and you are not required to use 2FA to log in to your 365 account please talk to your tech people at work and see if they have plans for adding that to your security policy.

We're rolling out 2FA for all our clients who have been hesitant about it and some of them are onboard but many are resistant to the change and it's slow going and we've had 3 customers get hit with session hijacking attacks in the last month. I just had the office manager for one of the businesses we work with call me in tears because one of her customers sent $150k to a fraudulent bank account.

And if you are someone who works in accounts payable and you are doing business to business transfers if one of your customers asks you to transfer to a new account number you need to CALL THEM ON THE PHONE to verify that they really want you to use this new account before you send that money. Asking for an email with a past invoice is NOT a good enough defense against fraud if a malicious actor has taken over your vendor's email and has access to everything they've ever sent you.

While I'm at it, here are some things that I thought were very basic security stuff that are apparently getting overlooked.

CALL TO VERIFY CHANGES. This should be part of your normal policy. You should not accept payment changes, address changes, email changes, ownership changes, point-of-contact etc. from your vendors or customers without first getting on the phone and speaking to someone who YOU PERSONALLY have spoken to at the company in the past and confirming those changes.

DO NOT SEND SENSITIVE INFORMATION THROUGH EMAIL. Usernames, Passwords, Credit Card Numbers, Health information, Personally Identifying information, and all Banking information is all information that you shouldn't send even through encrypted email; either you enter that info on a secure portal or you talk to someone on the phone.

Never, ever, ever give your 2FA codes to anyone. No exceptions. If it's anyone who would legitimately need to access your system they have ways of doing it that do not require you to have access to the system.

Juno, out of curiosity, what does an accountant DO? What does it mean to be one? Because I know there's math involved. I've heard it's very boring. But I don't know anything else and I'm curious because you're very good at putting things to words.

Okay first of all, I cannot express just how excited I got when I first saw this message. There is nothing I love more than talking about things I know about, and usually when my career is mentioned I don't get questions so much as immediate "Oh, bless you" and "I could never"s. Which- totally fair! For some people, accounting would be boring as all hell! But for a multitude of reasons, I adore it.

There are multiple types of accounting. The type most people tend to be more familiar with is that done by CPAs- CPAs, or Certified Public Accountants, are those that have done the lengthy and expensive process to be certified to handle other peoples' tax documents and submit taxes in their name, amongst other things. Yawn, taxes, right? Well, the thing with that is that there's a lot of little loopholes that tax accountants have to remain familiar with, because saving their clients a little more here or getting a little more back there can really add up, and can do a lot for people who, say, have enough money to afford to hire someone to do their taxes but not necessarily enough to be going hog wild with. Public accountants can work for large firms or by themselves, and also do things like preparing financial statements for businesses, auditing businesses to ensure all of their financial transactions are true and accurately reported to shareholders and clients, and consulting on how finances can be managed to maximize revenue (money in - money out = revenue, in very simple terms).

The type of accounting I do is private accounting! That basically just means that I work for a company in their in-house accounting/finance department. Private accounting tends to get split up into several different areas. My company has Payroll, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable.

Payroll handles everyone's paychecks, PTO, ensuring the correct amount of taxes are withheld from individuals per their desires, and so on. Accounts Receivable handles money flow into the company- so when our company sells the product/service, our Accounts Receivable people are the ones who review the work, create the invoices, send the invoices to the clients, remind clients about overdue invoices, receive incoming payments via ACH (Automatic Clearing House- direct bank-to-bank deposits), Wire (Usually used for international transactions), or Check, and prepare statements that show how much revenue we are expected to gain in a period of time, or have gained in a period of time. This requires a lot of interfacing with clients and project managers.

My department is Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable does basically the other side of the coin from what Accounts Receivable does. We work mostly with vendors and our purchasing/receiving departments. We receive invoices from people and companies that have sold us products/services we need in order to make our own products/perform our services, enter them into our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, a system that integrates the departments in a company together- there are many different ERPs, and most people simply refer to their ERP as "the system" when talking internally to other employees of the same company that they work at, because saying the name of the system is redundant) using a set of codes that automatically places the costs into appropriate groups to be referenced for later financial reports, and run the payment processing to ensure that the vendors are being paid.

To break that down because I know that was a lot of words, here's some things I do in my day-to-day at work:

- Reconciliations, making sure two different statements match up: the most common one is Credit Card reconciliations, ensuring that there are appropriately coded entries in the system that match the payments made on our credit line in our bank.

- Invoice entry: this is basic data entry, for the most part. This can have two different forms, though

- Purchase Order Invoice entry: Invoices that are matched both to the service/product provided from the vendor and the purchase order created by our Purchasing/Receiving department. We ensure that the item, the quantity, and the price all match between our records, the purchase order, and the invoice, before we enter this.

- Hard Coded Invoice entry: Invoices that we enter manually due to there being no Purchase Order for them. This is often recurring services, like cleaning or repairs, that may happen too often or have prices vary too much for Purchase Orders to be practical.

- Cleaning up old purchase orders: sometimes Purchase Orders are put in the system and then never fulfilled. Because this shows on financial statements as being a long-standing open commitment, it looks bad, so we have to periodically research these and find out if the vendor simply didn't send us the invoice, if the order was cancelled, or if something else is going on.

- Forensics! This is my personal favorite part of the job, where someone has massively borked something that is affecting my work, and so I go dig into it, sometimes going back as four or five years in records to find the origin point of the first mistake, and untangling the threads of what happened following that mistake to get us to where we are today. There's an entire field called Forensic Accounting that is basically just doing This but for other companies (it's a subset of auditing, and often is done via the IRS) and that's my dream position to be totally honest. I loooove the dopamine hit i get with solving the mystery and getting praised for doing so faster than anyone else has even begun to realize the problem to start with.

- Balancing Credits/Debits: This is more of a Main Accountant role thing, but the long and short of it is that every business has Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. Liabilities and Equity are what we put into the company/what we owe, and assets are what we have received/what we are owed. Anything that increases Assets or lowers Liabilities or Equity is a Debit. Anything that decreases Assets or raises Liabilities or Equity is a Credit. Every monetary change we process has to include an equal Debit and Credit. This is its own whole lecture, so if you wanna know more about double-entry accounting, let me know, but it's yawnsville for most people.

- Actually cutting checks or initiating bank payments to vendors for amounts we owe them.

- Vendor communication: I'm on the phones and email a lot with vendors who are wondering where their payment is, or why something was short-paid, or if I can change some of their info in our system, and so on and so on. Every job is customer service, unfortunately. I don't love it, but I do a lot less of it in private accounting than I would have to do in public accounting.

- Spreadsheets: I make so many spreadsheets I am a goddamn Excel wizard. I love spreadsheets. This isn't necessarily accounting-specific though, most people in Finance jobs love spreadsheets, or at least use them to make their lives easier. I make them just for fun, because I'm a giant fucking nerd who finds that kind of thing enjoyable lol. So if you ever need a spreadsheet made for anything, hit me up.

As for math, that's a pretty common misconception. While there is math, it is very rarely more complicated than "I paid $3 of the $8 I owe, now I owe $5" for me. There are some formulas you learn in school (Business Administration with a focus in Accounting is what I studied), but they're also pretty standard and rarely include more than like... basic algebra. Which. Thanks @ god because I flunked so hard out of pre-calc in college. I could not have done accounting if it really were all that math heavy.

Aaaand yeah! That's all I've got off the top of my head- if you have any more questions about it, do let me know, I'm happy to ramble on for hours, but I'm cutting it here so I don't start meandering on without direction lol.

[dollsonmain]

Why the hell am I waking up an hour or more before wakeup time when I'm so damned exhausted???

I NEED SLEEP.

That Guy is still dumping all of the service phone calls and stuff on me even though we're now both at work during normal phone call hours and both can't receive/make personal phone calls while at work. How does that make sense? It doesn't.

Anyway, hopefully the hvac repair office phone is on right at 9 so I can call them since I don't have much time between then and needing to leave for work.

I haven't been down to the salon all week other than an "OH SHIT!" moment when I remembered there were ponies in the SunBox. They're fine.

I'm not fine. I don't have the energy for the stairs. Even when I wasn't working there were many days where just going up and down the stairs was too much.

I WAS going to suggest we go get yard stuff to make those stumps look nicer but we may have to replace our HVAC again. That Guy won't pay for the yearly maintenance so it's no surprise it's broken already.

Getting frustrated at work again.

It's partly just not knowing how things go, partly forgetting things, and partly still just not ever feeling like I'm getting anything done. That persistent feeling of "Task Incomplete" is stressful.

-

There were lots of vendors yesterday because, for some reason, almost all of them come in on Thursday, and I'm not completely "there" on how vendors work, yet.

I have to stand there and read off the printout while they point to the product, then some of them put the stuff away and some don't, some need a check and some don't, some of them need a check sometimes and some need one every time, and some of them need to give an invoice RIGHT THEN to get a check cut while they wait and others give an invoice and pick up the payment the next time and I have no control over the checks and have to go hunt down a manager, and the whole time I'm trying to do the thing with vendors there are customers coming in.

Everyone is frustrated: The vendors because they have to wait for the customers to be dealt with, the customers because they have to wait for me to run over to the register, and me because I'm constantly being interrupted by people who are waiting for me and I am not fast.

Two vendors started chatting and both were like "She over-orders and there's nowhere to put things...." and the Red Bull vendor was like "Hey, so... There's SO much product from us back there that I'm skipping you guys next week."

And he's right, there is SO much back there but it's all buried under other things so it goes unnoticed, gets missed, we decide it's not worth the effort to dig back to get it, whatever....

And it's...... It's partly because of their very loosey goosey inventory keeping system BUT those products all do scan into the register, so I'd blame that actually on how the storage situation hides things and it's difficult for her to know what to order.

We've been out of buns for a couple weeks, now, both the ones for the deli and the ones for customers.

-

I keep being asked to make the deli sandwiches and usually I'm let to do that while the manager is on the register but today I was trying to do sandwiches and register at the same time and the customers like to come in at the most inconvenient times, so my sandwich ingredients are all sitting out, getting warm, I'm taking off my gloves to deal with customers then having to put them back on to start on sandwiches but no, there's another customer as soon as I get them on again and my hands sweat so getting the gloves on and off is DIFFICULT so they're sitting there, waiting, watching me struggle to get the gloves off, usually destroying them in the process.

Multiple times I would get as far as picking up the gloves and another customer would come in and make a bee-line for the register.

Also frustrating that she'll get out lots of ingredients and there's no bread. The bread is kept in the cooler, which is a place where I can't see customers or hear the door, so I have to rush in there, search frantically, pop my head out, of course someone is waiting at the register, run across the store to the register, take care of them, rush back to the cooler, oh someone just came in, back to the register, back to the cooler, oh either we're all out of that kind of bread or it's buried under the dinner rolls but I do. not. have time to dig them out if they are even in there because I can't hear the door.....

Manager says take the hamburger buns from the shelves but there aren't any there, either. I used them all up week before last.

Then she's like "Use this pack of buns." and I'm like "Those hit their sell by date 10 days ago and are completely stale." "Oh..."

Then also "Why are all these tuna salad sandwiches out of place?" "They expired three days ago [and you told me to move expired sandwiches to this spot]." "...... Oh."

There are WAY TOO MANY of the tiny dinner rolls, though. Way too many. So many that the manager can't see that there aren't any of the buns that we do need, so she's not ordering them.

Then not realizing I'd 100% forgotten to clean up after until hours later because I'd gotten distracted by a 30 TOTE delivery, many of which were covered in Mystery Goo, and some had items that needed priced, dated, and put into the cooler ASAP because they're getting warm and oh it's time to go!!!! Shit! I have to count my drawer!!!

And some of those totes had like...2 things in them. Many of them had more of the snack cakes I'd rearranged on Monday and there wasn't any room for that.

Then the next guy comes in and starts doing his normal thing which is stocking the beer cooler and I have to be like "Hey, so, this BIGASS TUB of cold stuff came in like an hour ago and I wasn't able to finish dating, pricing, and putting it out so you're going to have to get that please...."

I feel like my brain is running in circles about it all because it is all just a cyclical mess...

Better inventory management and storage would help a lot, but it's not like they can add storage unless CitGo wanted to provide them with a secure trailer out back or something. There's just not that much room in that building, though they COULD have blocked off a large section to one side and used that for storage instead of selling a bunch of random stuff no one buys, there.

It's so dusty over there.

-

There was a big meeting yesterday and I'm speculating that it might have been the CitGo rep both because he seemed really kind of.... Predatory?? Aggressive? but trying to hide it? and after he left, Manager brought me a store-themed shirt and said we're supposed to wear uniforms but she personally refuses and since she refuses, no one under her has to, either, but she needs me to wear it at least one time.

I don't care either way.

-

Anyway, still no gripes about the manager as a person, she's amicable, patient, and friendly without being a pushover but oof... She very much needs more employees and a second manager wouldn't hurt. I kind of feel like they're hoping I'll be that but um... Probably not happening I'm too scatter brained AND looking for other work, still. Theoretically. I haven't applied to anything new.

[djinnhatescold]

Omg it's the perfect gif for how my life at work is right now.

Come with me on this journey, and despair.

Imagine you're me, a project manager. You're tasked with not only making sure shit gets done on time and on budget, but making the numbers add up at the end. That's just project management stuff.

So about the budget thing. This means creating purchase orders, attributing them to the project code, receiving labor and materials, and sending the invoices off to accounts payable. Again, normal pm stuff.

The POs go into a system, because we're not savages and don't track every damn thing on spreadsheets.

Except I DO have to track every damn thing on spreadsheets because did you think that invoices go into that same system as the POs and project? You fool? You absolute buffoon?

Nay, the invoices go into a separate system. That I don't have access to.

Sometimes the vendors play nice and send their invoices to me. This is good because I can check the invoices amount against our PO and 99% of the time everything is cool even if it's over the po amount because we worked that shit out already.

Sometimes the vendors send the invoice straight to AP which wouldn't be a problem if they at least copied me on it, or if AP saw that it was a project invoice and thought, hey, we should send this to the project manager so they can get their shit together.

Sometimes vendors send invoices to random project team members or plant managers. Same problem despite me begging my team to forward all invoices to me.

So along comes project end and time to close the project. They ask, "pm! How much did we spend?" And I can only sigh and take a drag off my metaphorical cigarette and respond, "I know not how much money has changed hands. I can only tell you how much we thought we were spending. Your money, it is a mystery to me."

And after considerable begging someone finally takes pity on me and sends me a report out of the invoice system or, bless them, a zip file of all the invoices attributed to the project code.

And the real fun begins when I see invoices that weren't included or invoices that I never heard of in my life. Just fuckin. random invoices. And I want to put my head against a cheese gråter and go to town.

i saw a very important tiktok recently and knew i immediately needed it as a gif so here it is in case y’all want it as well

How Outsourcing Accounts Payable Can Improve Your Business Efficiency

The Power of Smart Financial Management

Managing finances is one of the most critical aspects of running a business. However, keeping up with invoices, payments, and vendor accounts can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where outsourcing accounts payable comes in. By handing this essential task to experts, businesses can streamline their financial processes, reduce errors, and focus on growth.

Reducing Errors and Enhancing Accuracy

Manual accounts payable management is prone to mistakes—duplicate payments, missed invoices, and late fees can all add up. Outsourcing accounts payable ensures that professionals handle these tasks with precision. With automated systems and dedicated teams, businesses can avoid costly errors while maintaining smooth financial operations.

Freeing Up Valuable Time and Resources

For small and mid-sized businesses, time is a precious commodity. Processing invoices, managing payments, and reconciling accounts require significant attention. By outsourcing accounts payable, companies can free up internal resources and allow employees to focus on more strategic tasks, such as customer service and business development.

Timely and accurate payments are crucial for maintaining strong relationships with suppliers. Late or incorrect payments can lead to strained partnerships and even service disruptions. A professional accounts payable outsourcing service ensures vendors are paid on time, improving trust and helping businesses negotiate better terms in the long run.

Enhancing Security and Compliance

Financial transactions must be secure and compliant with industry regulations. Outsourcing accounts payable to a trusted provider adds an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of fraud and ensuring compliance with tax and financial reporting requirements. This minimizes risks and protects the business from potential legal and financial complications.

Thoughts

BUSINESS OPERATION PLAN

My Car Detailing Business Operations Plan.

Introduction:

In fulfilment of the ENTR 1281 Entrepreneurship course requirement to engage in a term project which will enable me to learn from experience on starting and running a small business, I have chosen a Car Detailing business. Provision of Car detailing services is essentially a business of providing various degrees of car cleaning services to customers. This basically range from exterior/interior cleaning and touch-ups of car paintings.

In this blog post, I will be sharing the operations plan of my car detailing business which explains how I will run the business to realize a profit goals.

My Company Overview.

My business is called CHIAGOZIE Car Detailing. This is set up to acquire learning based on experiences generated from running a typical one within the 14 weeks of the course. We are currently in the last 9 weeks of the course.

My Management Team will be made up of myself as the Managing Director to coordinate the business, an admin secretary for keeping the company records/sales data and inquiries from customers and 4 number technicians/washermen that will be engaged in actual washing. My business will be offering static car detailing as well as the mobile car detailing services. Mobile services have become very attractive to customers who struggle with time to drive their cars to the service centers for detailing. I have completed a feasibility study for the business covering the potential location of the business, target market, Market potential, Competition, Estimated Sales and Expense Forecast and potential Risks, Issues and possible challenges related to the business. This milestone has been graded well.

My Target market

This is the group of vehicle users that desire driving clean cars, trucks or SUVs. From primary research, the vehicle users I have chosen as ideal customers are the Rideshare providers. This group operate on platforms like the Lyft and Uber. Their preferences around maintaining regular cleanliness of their vehicles to attract high ratings from their passengers have been duly identified. This has enabled me to map out appropriate marketing efforts for them.

Vision on what I need to launch my business.

I am already working with popular reliable vendors on timely procurement of the required basic equipment (Steam cleaner, shelving, Vacuum cleaner, Pressure Washer, brushes, towels and washing/waxing fluids etc), human, financial resources as well as necessary permits for the start-up of the business. This is seeming tough now.  I have only lived in Canada for ten months and as a student, have not built-up sufficient credit score that can enable me to access enough bank financing for the business start-up. To minimize the initial take-off capital and investment for a full automated car detailing Centre, I will be starting the business with the manual type of car washing using pressurized jet washing. I have also solicited support from my parents to loan me additional take-off funds.

The estimated Sales revenue, and Expenses forecasts including revenue potential have been presented in Appendix 1.

Customer Service menu and booking system.

The administrative secretary will ensure that online booking system is downloaded every morning to schedule customers accordingly before start of work every day. This staff will also manage the invoices application.

Permits & Licenses

Necessary permits, such as License to Operate (LTO) and Environmental Waste Disposal permits will be secured before start-up.

Legal Requirements.

All applicable tax registrations must be completed for the tax returns compliance purpose. Also, the bank account for the business must be opened.

Marketing.

I will launch a user-friendly online website with clear details of my business offerings and show clear pictures of finished jobs. I will also advertise my business in social media and regularly update my business activities with clients. An effective online booking system and pricing will be maintained.

APPENDIX 1 -Sales Estimate, Expense forecast and Profit Potential.

Sales estimate for 9 weeks.

Take the unit prize of $60 for a typical internal & external deep cleaning per car.

From the survey I conducted, each car comes in for the deep cleaning once every month (4 weeks), the total number of cars that will be serviced will be 483 divided by 4 = 121 cars per week.

So, for the remaining 9 weeks of the course, the total perceived sales will be

9 times 121 times 60 = $65,340.00

Expense Forecast:

Below represents estimates of critical expenses for start-up and the 14-week duration of the business.

·      Buying of cleaning materials, say $450/month i.e.  $112.5 per week

·      Insurance cost: $1000/year i.e. $19.23 per week

·      Advertising & Marketing: $800/month i.e. $200 per week

·      Licensing/Permit fees, $500/year i.e.  $9.62 per week

·      Administrative costs, $300/month i.e. $75 per wee.

·      Depreciation costs $400/month i.e.  $100 per week

·      Vehicle fueling and Maintenance, $400/month i.e. 100 per week

·      Property Rent, $12,000/month, i.e. $3000 per week

Total weekly costs =$3,616.35

Labor costs = 30% of 3,616.35 = 1,084.905 per week

Hence, total Expense Forecast = $3,616.35 + 1,084.905 = $4,701.26 per week

Expense forecast for the 9 weeks = 9 times $4,701.26 = $42,311.34

Hence, the profit potential = Sales minus Expenses

                                         =$65,340 - $42,311.34 =$23,028.66
