A simpler way to manage accounts payable
Who it’s for
Built for independent optometry and optical practices that want less time spent tracking invoices, chasing approvals, and managing payment due dates. Bill pay is designed for owners, office managers, and financial teams who need more control over accounts payable without adding another disconnected system.
Stay ahead of bills and cash flow
A clear accounts payable process helps your practice know what is due, what has been approved, and when payments should be scheduled. IDOC Books & Benchmarks bill pay is being designed to reduce missed invoices, improve visibility into upcoming obligations, and support more intentional cash-flow decisions.
What makes us different
Bill pay is intended to work alongside IDOC Books & Benchmarks so accounts payable activity is organized, categorized, and easier to reconcile with your financial reporting. The goal is cleaner books and a more complete view of your practice’s cash position.

What people say about us
Adam Cmejla,
CFP Integrated Planning & Wealth Management & host of 20/20 Money Podcast
“The financial numbers of a practice tell a story. It's one thing to be able to read the story. It's another to comprehend it. IDOC's Books & Benchmarks allows practice owners to comprehend their practice's financial performance and also benchmark it to their peers, allowing them to make educated, informed, and proactive decisions in their practice.”
Dr. Matthew Shirley,
Shirley Eye Care
“I use Books & Benchmarks for four businesses and love it! Definitely one of the best business decisions. It has allowed me to better understand my practice financials and take more of a CEO approach to growing the practices. Your time is too valuable to do it yourself.”
Dr. Rob Szeliga,
Spring Hill Eyecare
“It’s great! I have a great CPA who speaks at the IDOC CONNECTION (JR Armstrong). Even though he does a great job, he still recommended it. I just changed financial advisors and she can log in and see it too to help make decisions. Also, I like how it looks like an easy-to-read dashboard.”
Dr. Matt Taylor,
Ideal EyeCare
“Books & Benchmarks has been a great asset for us to see where we are as a business and where we have opportunities. I can’t spend time gathering all the data needed to evaluate where we are, so I have to delegate those tasks to someone. Otherwise, I’d spend 70-80 hours per week between patient care and business operations. Books & Benchmarks has helped make my life easier by taking over bookkeeping and benchmarking.“
Dr. Barbara Dune,
Serenity I Care
“I really feel Books & Benchmarks is the best decision I have made for myself and for my practice. I have more confidence now when handing my books over to our CPA.
If financial management is not something you are specialized in, or adept at, you need someone who can ensure you are effectively tracking your practice’s key metrics. It’s the information you need to profitably grow.“
