Senior Accounting Specialist

Catches the small details on vendor bills that lead to fraudulent payments

About Rachel

Rachel Wright is an accounts payable and senior accounting specialist at LedgerGurus. She works directly with ecommerce clients on AP processing, vendor management, and payment controls, and reviews client bills every day.

Rachel has caught multiple fraudulent invoices before payment, including a $60,000 bill where only the pay-to name and email had been changed. She checks the small details that fraudsters count on people missing, like new bank information on an invoice or an email address that swaps a lowercase L for an uppercase I. Her advice is simple: take 30 seconds to review a bill, because that is usually enough to spot what is wrong.

    Ecommerce Accounts Payable Fraud

    A $60,000 invoice arrived with the right company name, the right address, the right EIN. Only the pay-to name and email had changed. Rachel Wright caught it. Ecommerce makes this worse than most, because the biggest payments go overseas for inventory and there is no recourse once a wire clears. She and Stephen Brown walk through the attempts they have seen and the controls that stop them.
