Stop Chasing
Freelancer Invoices.
Scaling a remote team means drowning in 50+ different invoice formats, chasing W-8BEN forms, and manually syncing payments. Hire a managed VA to standardize collection, resolve discrepancies, and prep your payout batches.

Blind Data Entry Leads to Overpayments.
Hiring a standard freelancer to "process invoices" is dangerous. Generic VAs simply copy what's on a PDF and schedule a payment. They don't check if the freelancer actually tracked 40 hours, or if they billed for a milestone they haven't delivered yet.
Sagedoer acts as your FinOps QA layer. We don't just input data; we verify it, standardize it, and prepare flawless payment batches.
-
Project Manager Verification
Your dedicated PM spot-checks the VA's payout batch before it reaches your desk. If an invoice looks anomalous, the PM flags it, saving you thousands in accidental overpayments.
-
Strict Approval Workflows
Our VAs operate with "Draft" or "Preparer" access only in tools like Deel or Wise. We organize the entire payout process, but you retain the final click to move the funds.
The End-to-End Invoice Workflow
From collecting messy PDFs to syncing clean data into your ERP.
Collection & Standardization
Hunting down straggling freelancers for their end-of-month invoices. Taking unstructured Word docs, emails, and PDFs and standardizing them into your central tracking system (Airtable/Notion).
Discrepancy Resolution
Cross-referencing submitted invoice hours against your time-tracking tools (Toggl, Hubstaff, Upwork). If hours don't match or milestones aren't met, the VA disputes it directly with the freelancer.
Tax Form Compliance
Ensuring 100% compliance before payment. Chasing down valid W-9s for US contractors and W-8BENs for international talent, organizing them securely for end-of-year 1099 filing.
Multi-Currency Batch Prep
Drafting the payout batch in Wise, Deel, or Payoneer. Handling the data entry for routing numbers, IBANs, and calculating current FX conversions so you just have to click 'Approve Batch'.
ERP Syncing & Categorization
Manually entering or syncing the paid invoices into Xero or QuickBooks. Tagging expenses to the correct cost-centers, clients, or projects for accurate profitability tracking.
Contractor Helpdesk
Acting as the point of contact for your remote team's payment queries. Replying to "When will this be paid?" or "Can I update my bank details?" so your inbox stays clean.
A Back-Office FinOps Team Without the Overhead
Bypass the hassle of recruiting, testing, and managing administrative finance staff. Get accurate spreadsheets and payment setups delivered through one dedicated manager.
Single Point of Contact
Your PM handles all VA supervision and task delegation. You just set the approval criteria and let the system run.
Zero Wasted Time
Centralised time tracking means you pay exclusively for pure, productive administrative and batch-prep minutes.
Exceptional Quality
Our team is mathematically vetted. The PM reviews payout batches against original invoices to ensure zero transfer errors.
No Platform Fees
Unlike Upwork or agency recruiters, we charge no hidden markups, no onboarding fees, and no monthly memberships.
Up to 70%
Savings vs. hiring a domestic Accounts Payable clerk.
