To determine with certainty, email us at service[AT]ajenning.com. Replace [AT] with the @ symbol when emailing. Don’t contact the property manager, as they may not know the reason. By contacting our general service email, multiple employees involved in this process will see it and can research it. If the property manager is the reason your payment is delayed, we will discuss that internally.
We pay vendors and contractors exceptionally fast here for a property management company. While you may be used to Net 30 terms or beyond when working for our competitors, it’s rare any invoice doesn’t get paid within 30 days here. There are a few common reasons this occurs.
One reason is if our client expressed dissatisfaction with the work, although you would have likely heard from the property manager if this was the case.
The next most common reason is USPS may have lost your check or it may be delayed. If you contact us we can trace this and place a stop payment and reissue if needed. Payments are issued out of Las Vegas, Carol Stream, IL or Charlotte, depending on which of these cities is geographically closest to the destination address. Some payments are sent from Boston regardless of geographic location, but this is rare and more commonly reserved for when we need to refund homeowners for overpayments, as this is a different platform. Over 99% of the payments we issue as accounts payable for services and goods rendered come from one of the three locations via our accounts payable processing partner.
The less common reason is that you have an electronic payment arrangement with our accounts payable partner where you have asked them to pay you via ACH to your business checking account or provide you with a virtual credit card number to process via your in-house credit card system. Please note that the processor we use, AvidXchange Strongroom, is very much an industry-standard service. Many of our competitors also use this service. If you set up to receive electronic payments through one of our competitors, AvidXchange Strongroom considers that a direct relationship with you regardless of which property management company issues the payment. If you set this up based on your work with another management company, it will apply to all other management companies, including ours, that use this software. We can not opt you out of this service if this is what happened. You must contact AvidXchange Strongroom directly or use your account with them to edit this preference. We do not recommend signing up for this service unless the person signing up is an owner of the business or a very permanent employee. We’ve found this often happens because an accounts receivable employee signs up for it, that person leaves their employment, and then no one else knows how to access it.
