Accounts Receivable
Various City departments bill for services rendered or fees due through the City's main financial system. After the bills are entered into the financial system, the Finance Department maintains the invoice records and facilitates collection of payments on behalf of the issuing departments. If you have any questions regarding invoices, contact the the Accounting Specialist.
Accounts Payable
The City's general payment terms are net 30 days. The Finance Department is responsible for processing vendor invoices and other remittances in a timely manner. The City issues checks twice a month after approval by the City Council, with payments mailed out after approval.
To determine if an invoice has been processed for payment, it is recommended that vendors contact the Accounting Specialist. If needed, they will coordinate with the department which procured the goods and/or services. All invoices must be first approved by individual department directors before being sent to the City Council for approval.
Maintaining an accurate vendor database is an essential function of the Finance Department to ensure proper payments. To register to be a vendor with the City of Bonney Lake, a W-9 form must be filled out and filed with the Finance Department prior to your invoice being processed.
The invoice must indicate the purchase order number, the designated department and should be only for goods delivered or services rendered. Do not combine two or more orders on one invoice. The City will pay on partial shipments if invoiced.
