Question 1

How does vendor payment automation handle ACH and wire batches?

Accepted Answer

Minded reviews approved bills, groups payments by entity, vendor, due date, and payment method, then prepares ACH and wire batches for release. The AI bookkeeper flags missing approvals, unusual amounts, duplicate invoices, and incomplete vendor data before the treasury lead sends the batch for approval.

Question 2

How does Minded validate vendor bank changes before payment release?

Accepted Answer

Minded compares new vendor bank details against prior records, approval notes, source documents, and recent communication trails. It highlights changes that need human review, helping reduce BEC fraud exposure. The release package can include who approved the change, when it was reviewed, and supporting evidence.

Question 3

Can an AI bookkeeper schedule payments by urgency and due date?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minded can prioritize payments based on due dates, vendor terms, hold status, available approval, and treasury instructions. It separates urgent payments from routine runs, identifies items that should wait, and gives the payments lead a clean schedule before ACH or wire submission.

Question 4

Which ledgers can Minded support for AP payment runs?

Accepted Answer

Minded works across mixed accounting firm portfolios that use QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Zoho Books. It can read bill, vendor, approval, and payment status data, then prepare payment run workpapers and exception notes without forcing every client into one ledger.

Question 5

How is the audit log handled for approvals and 1099 reporting?

Accepted Answer

Minded links payment release details to an audit log, including approvers, timestamps, vendor records, payment method, and supporting documents. That history helps reviewers trace who approved each step and supports later AP review, 1099 reporting checks, and external audit requests.
