Built in the heart of it all.
Ohio's economy runs on manufacturing, freight, healthcare, and professional services — all sectors with notoriously long AP cycles. We sit on top of yours so you don't have to.
The Ohio mid-market AP timeline.
What a typical 90-day collection cycle looks like when we run it.
Net-30 invoice issued. Buyer's AP queue: ~1,200 invoices ahead.
Due date arrives. Standard 'we'll get to it' radio silence begins.
First soft follow-up from us — branded, professional, references the PO.
Direct AP contact, status-check call, exception clearance if any.
Escalation to AP manager with documentation packet.
75% of accounts paid by here. Remainder flagged for placement decision.
Verticals we run AR for in Ohio.
Manufacturing
Steel, plastics, automotive supply, machining. Net-60/90 procurement standards across mid-market plants.
Freight & 3PL
Columbus is one of the top intermodal hubs in the US. We chase POD, detention, and broker AR statewide.
Commercial services
Janitorial, MEP, pest control, security. Recurring monthly invoicing with the discipline of an in-house controller.
Construction trades
Subcontractor pay-app follow-up under Ohio's Prompt Pay Act (ORC §4113.61), plus lien rights tracking.
Active in
All seven of the state's major metros plus mid-size manufacturing towns.
We're a small fabrication shop. We can't afford a full-time AR person. Payment Shield is half the cost and twice as effective as the part-time bookkeeper we used to use.
Ohio-specific questions
Do you know Ohio's Prompt Pay Act?+
Yes. ORC §4113.61 requires GCs to pay subs within 10 days of receiving funds, with interest at 18%/year for non-compliance. We reference the statute when escalation requires it.
Can you work the Cleveland Clinic / OSU vendor portals?+
Yes. We've worked AP cycles for vendors serving both. Documentation is everything in those systems — we maintain it.
Are you a collections agency?+
We are a billing service first. Most accounts never need to be placed for collections — they get resolved through professional follow-up. When formal collections are necessary, we coordinate the placement.
How quickly do you onboard?+
10 business days from contract to first follow-up cycle live. Aging review delivered in week one.
