Being a great manager is no easy task. At Check Issuing, we have exceptional managers who possess a deep understanding of the accounts payable vertical. They also possess a wealth of knowledge in managing teams of employees. I decided that it might be helpful to reach out to them and inquire about some of their best practices, then post them anonymously on our blog as examples of great managers of accounts payable departments.
Keep It Simple
Whether it is explaining a new task, deciding on lunch, or solving a problem, simplicity is always the best way. You don’t want to convolute issues. You should instead simplify them so that they can be solved. This is what great managers do differently.
New tasks can be difficult for employees. Complicating them with more explanation than is needed can further sour the experience. It’s essential to keep your central message straightforward and clear. This will help people better understand their mission.
Learn the Art of Delegation
To delegate is to empower. Not to delegate is to take on too much and bear the brunt of unnecessary creative labor. This shows the importance of leading by example. Being able to decipher who to delegate specific tasks to is the trait of a superhero manager. This is one of the core competencies of management. Some managers do nothing. Some managers do everything. Both are wrong. Doing nothing suggests that laziness is rewarded, while doing everything implies that you don’t trust anyone and decreases the overall productivity of the department. Being able to delegate work and have others underneath your chain of command follow up on tasks is the best possible scenario.
Create a Map of Responsibility
You need structure. They need structure. But what is that “structure,” anyway? If it isn’t clearly defined, don’t rely on anyone to understand what it is. The chain of command, people’s responsibilities, and what projects they work on should be clearly defined and shared with the company. You want people to understand how the system works so that they aren’t entering areas that are not beneficial to your company.
Managing is hard. It’s, in fact, super hard. However, you can also become a super manager.
Our Check Writing Service Is Everything Your Business Wants
First and foremost, happy freaking Friday, folks. The weekend is upon you and your family. Hopefully, you have some amazing plans. Like scaling a skyscraper or playing Pokémon. You know, something wild and crazy!
Your business is important to you. You’ve bled for your business. You’ve lost sleep for your business. You’ve slowly rolled a few stop signs to make it to important meetings on time for your business. So wouldn’t you want to team up with other businesses that love your business just as much as you do? That’s what we offer at the very core of our operation.
I am going to be honest, at Check Issuing, we believe in following traffic laws, so we aren’t likely to California roll through any stop signs. However, we will love your business almost as much as you love your business. That’s because when it comes to client services, we treat all of our clients like family. We aren’t a turn-and-burn business; instead, our business model is predicated on return business. We want you to like to services we provide, as well as like us. We want your business over and over again. Unlike our competitors, we continually strive to earn your business. We are a check-writing service that never takes anything for granted.
What Does a Check Writing Service Offer?
The best check security in the business. Check Fraud is a huge business. Many people seem to think that check fraud is an archaic criminal endeavor, but the fact is, it has never been more profitable. And small businesses are the most lucrative targets. Often, small businesses overlook their check security. Our checks are verified by the bank. Our envelopes are more secure than a NASA PowerPoint presentation. Our checks are safe, your business is safer, and your sleep is deep and relaxing.
We offer your business the ability to brand your checks. Seems simple, right? Well, many businesses never think to put their own logo on their checks. Having your corporate logo on your business checks gives your business a more professional look. When a client or customer cashes your check, wouldn’t you prefer that the check look as professional as possible? Of course, you would. That’s why using Check Issuing makes sense.
We offer reliability and friendly customer service. You call us and we answer. We are nice and friendly. We are also incredibly good-looking and charming (sorry, I had to). We believe that top-notch customer service is the key to success. Your feedback means everything to the evolution of our product and services. We consider our clients a part of our extended family. We will even send you a Holiday card (or not, if you prefer not to receive mail; we can send an e-card instead).
But hey, enough about our deliriously awesome customer service. How about you give us a call, and we can learn more about your business and explore how a check-writing service can benefit you? And after that, why not start planning your amazing weekend?
To Outsource Payroll or Not to Outsource Payroll?
We live in an era where an abundance of information, products, and services is available to us on the internet. One of these services is the ability to outsource various tasks, such as payroll services for your small business.
Outsourcing your small business’s payroll service will consist of you hiring someone on the outside to take control of your business’s payroll and financial services. Outsourcing your small business’s payroll services can save your company a significant amount of money, time, and frustration.
When many people think about payroll, they only consider writing checks for all employees and trying to determine how much tax should be withheld.
A list of the standard payroll responsibilities includes:
- withholding taxes
- paying taxes to various government agencies
- giving your employees their W-2 forms and 1099 forms
- alerting the government when one of your employees is no longer employed by your company
- managing all the contributions from your employees towards their health plans
As you are already aware, handling these processes and others can be extremely tedious and frustrating. You always want to make great decisions for your business, and one of the best decisions you can make is to seriously think about the best option for your payroll services and functions. We are now stepping up our game and plan to be one of the top competitors in this space for third-party payroll.
You should approach this decision the same way you would do any other big decision. You should evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages it could possibly bring to your business. You can set rules and policies that the payroll company will have to follow in order to achieve the best results for your business.
