WHY ADD THIS ROLE

Outsourcing is most useful when the responsibilities are explicit and the handoffs fit your team's real workflow.

Keep recurring invoice, reconciliation, or payroll preparation moving to agreed cutoffs.
Surface exceptions with the source detail intact so authorized reviewers can decide.
Add process capacity without delegating payment, accounting, or approval authority.
