Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Manchester, NH

Overview

Freedom Accounting Services is an outsourced accounting and bookkeeping firm headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire. It works with three main client groups: owners of small and mid-sized companies, nonprofit organizations, and CPA practices that want to hand off client bookkeeping.

Although its office is in New Hampshire, the firm supports clients throughout New England and in other parts of the country. For buyers evaluating accounts payable support, the firm's AP work is delivered as part of a broader managed bookkeeping engagement rather than as a standalone software platform.

Accounts payable and bookkeeping services

The firm's day-to-day accounting operations cover the payables side of the ledger, including recording vendor obligations and handling bill payment on behalf of clients. These tasks run alongside the receivables cycle, so a company can outsource both incoming and outgoing transactions to a single team.

Engagements often start with cleanup: staff tidy existing records, refine the chart of accounts, reconcile balances and post adjusting entries, then set up a repeatable routine to keep the books current. The team also coaches client employees on sound habits for capturing financial activity.

• Accounts payable processing and bill pay
• Accounts receivable, invoicing and collections
• Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping
• Account reconciliations and journal entries
• Payroll recording and cash flow tracking
• Grant tracking for nonprofits
• Accounting system analysis and setup
• Financial reporting, analysis and tax compliance

On the systems side, Freedom Accounting reviews whether a client's current accounting software suits its operations or whether a customized setup would work better. The stated aim is a GAAP-aligned system that gives owners usable information for tracking and improving performance. Work is billed as a flat monthly fee, which the firm presents as a way for clients to budget without unexpected charges, and prospective clients can book a free initial consultation.

Specialties

Nonprofits are a notable focus. The firm emphasizes compliance, transparency and oversight for mission-driven organizations, and grant tracking is part of its bookkeeping scope. Clients featured on its site include Joy Church New Hampshire as well as the state's maple producers' and optometric associations. For CPA firms, it acts as a behind-the-scenes partner, taking on the books, financial statements and analytical work for the CPA's clients so the accountants can concentrate on advisory and strategic engagements.

Team and approach

The leadership includes Deven, a partner who serves as lead accountant and reporting director and oversees client service, reporting standards and staff training. She holds a master's degree in accounting from Southern New Hampshire University and has worked in private industry and public accounting since 2015, with a background that includes auditing and financial analysis.

Sherry Mullin is also a partner and works as accountant and operations director. The firm frames its culture around five values: communication, respect, integrity, support and positivity. It says clients should receive the same standard of service no matter which staff member they work with.

In 2026, Freedom Accounting Services was named a winner in the Best of the 603 awards in the accounting category for New Hampshire.
