Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Ogunquit, ME

Remote Quality Bookkeeping, also known as MyRQB, is an outsourced bookkeeping and payroll firm with its head office in Ogunquit, Maine. Its bookkeeping staff works out of Wells, Maine, and it also has an office in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The company has been doing remote bookkeeping since 2000.

Its clients are mainly small and mid-sized businesses and franchise owners across the United States. For companies in southern Maine that are comparing accounts payable providers, it handles vendor bills as one part of a full outsourced bookkeeping service. It does not sell standalone AP automation software.

Accounts Payable Support

The firm notes that many small companies start out paying bills through informal, mostly manual routines. Those routines get harder to manage as the number of vendors and invoices grows. RQB takes over that work so suppliers are paid on schedule. It also makes sure payables feed into accurate records kept in QuickBooks.

AP fits into a wider monthly cycle that includes general ledger upkeep, month-end reconciliations, profit and loss reporting and expense reports with forecasts. Clients can track their numbers through a customized reporting dashboard. Documents are exchanged through a secure upload portal.

Specialties and Industries

Franchise bookkeeping is a major focus. RQB helps franchisees meet the weekly or monthly reports their franchisors require, track royalty payments and handle state and federal franchise taxes. The firm also supports businesses in Chapter 11 by preparing the monthly filings courts require, including statements of amounts owed to suppliers and creditors.

For owners who suspect theft or whose books have fallen far behind, its forensic team can rebuild records, look for embezzlement and act as expert witnesses. The industries it lists include nonprofits, insurance agencies and law firms. It also offers back-office bookkeeping support to CPA practices.

How They Work With Clients

The firm prepares a custom quote for each engagement after reviewing the client's books, situation and needs. Prospects can request a free trial or a demo before they commit. If a business already has a CPA or tax preparer, RQB works directly with that adviser so year-end filing goes smoothly.

The firm describes its team as nationally certified bookkeeping specialists and advisors. It pitches outsourcing as a way for owners to avoid hiring full-time accounting staff while still getting experienced help that can grow or shrink with the business.

Buyers looking for a dedicated AP automation platform should know that RQB provides a managed, people-led service rather than a software product. It may suit small firms and franchise operators that want bill payment, reconciliation, payroll and reporting handled by a single outside team.
