I've recently been using Billstrust (http://www.billstrust.com) at billstrust.com and wanted to share this great idea with members who get heaps of bills and invoices and are sick of managing payments of them.
Basically this Australian business sends me a bunch of QR code stickers which I stick on any bill or invoice and i whack it on the fax machine and that's it.
I can see the bill queued up in my online account and when it gets paid on the due date, I get an SMS message and email. So it's like having an A/P clerk without having to pay for one.
The bills/invoices only get paid at the last possible moment or if I want to delay payment on any of them and manage my cash flow, such as some supplier invoices, I can quickly set a time delay.
I like it because it gets the bills out of my hair without me having to cede control or authorisation of them, because I'm still authorising them with the sticker so I'm kept in the loop as much or as little as I want.
