Pelican Belle Financials ACCOUNTS PAYABLE & BILLING
With over a decade of in-house full-cycle accounts payable, analytics and billing experience, Pelican Belle Financials clears invoice backlog, settles vendor disputes, and turns a messy payable ledger into numbers you can plan against.
Get reliable AP and billing support without the cost of a full-time hire — available for temporary, contract and freelance work.
Most AP departments have people who aren't always efficient or proficient across the full cycle. Having one person who can process accurately, spot what's wrong, explain the numbers to vendors and auditors, and train your team keeps your payables department free from backlog.
Invoice intake, coding, three-way matches, approval routing and payment runs for high-volume invoice processing — without the errors that create rework later.
Past-due balances worked down bucket by bucket, with a written status you can show leadership each week until the aging report is clean.
Short pays, duplicate billings, price and quantity variances and credits — chased to a documented conclusion with the vendor.
Statement reconciliation, W-9 and onboarding files, and the steady communication that keeps suppliers shipping to terms.
Aging, accrual and spend-by-vendor reporting built in Excel, so month-end close starts from something reliable.
Figures represent consistent monthly volumes from previous roles; references are available upon request.
I'm Tressa Fields, the founder of Pelican Belle Financials. I spent more than a decade managing payables for the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, later joined the Center for Justice Innovation, and now work as a billing specialist in the construction industry.
That path gave me three very different rulebooks to learn — and it's made me comfortable working with businesses of any size, from solo owners to larger multi-entity operations. To sharpen my skills on the reporting side of the work, I'm currently completing my Financial Analysis Certification.
