Find duplicate payments hiding in your AP.

Duplicate payments are easy to miss.
Duplicate payments rarely come from one obvious mistake. They tend to come from the ordinary mechanics of an AP process running at volume:
- Duplicate invoice submissions
- Slightly different invoice numbers for the same bill
- Repeated invoices sent by a vendor
- Manual data entry
- Multiple people processing invoices
- Vendor billing inconsistencies
- Credits or adjustments that are not properly reconciled
Even a small number of missed payments can represent meaningful dollars as AP volume grows.
We're validating the signal.
"Can automated analysis of historical AP data identify legitimate duplicate payments that existing finance processes missed?"
Before building a full AP monitoring platform, we're testing that question directly — working with a small group of finance professionals against real-world AP data, rather than claiming to have already proven it out. Selected finance teams can provide an anonymized historical export and receive a free analysis in return.
How it works
-
01
Export
Provide historical AP/payment data from your accounting system.
A CSV or Excel export is enough for the initial analysis.
-
02
Analyze
PayRecon compares vendors, invoice numbers, amounts, dates and descriptions to identify potential duplicates.
-
03
Review
Your finance team reviews the flagged transactions and determines which are legitimate duplicates.
PayRecon identifies candidates for review — it does not automatically declare every match a duplicate.
