About the Company

Adams & Knight is an integrated marketing agency that delivers end-to-end solutions, including website development, TV commercials, media planning, and full-scale campaign execution. Serving a diverse range of clients—from small businesses to large corporations—the agency prides itself on efficiency and innovation.

The Challenge

Before implementing AvidXchange, AP was a time-consuming, all-day process. The agency relied heavily on credit cards for social media ad spend, requiring manual reconciliation of nearly 400 transactions per month. Lost checks caused delayed payments, which led to frequent supplier inquiries, creating inefficiencies and frustration.

The Solution

AvidXchange transformed Adams & Knight’s AP workflow with automated payments and virtual ghost cards. By assigning individual ghost cards to each social media platform and client, the agency gained greater control and visibility over transactions. The ability to process urgent payments quickly and maintain a centralized record of invoices significantly improved financial management.

The Results

By eliminating manual reconciliation, Adams & Knight saved eight hours per week, allowing the finance team to focus on higher-level financial analysis and strategic planning. Payments were processed faster, ensuring suppliers were paid on time and significantly reducing the volume of payment inquiries. The newfound efficiency also improved financial processes, giving the team better visibility into transactions while enabling more agile decision-making. With AP no longer a bottleneck, the agency accelerated client onboarding and campaign execution, allowing them to focus on revenue growth. With AvidXchange, Adams & Knight has not only streamlined AP but also gained the ability to focus on revenue growth and strategic financial initiatives—positioning the agency for long-term success.
