Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable are in a similar vein.  In
fact, they share a common feature with payroll in that they deal with
3rd party entities (Receivable -- entities who owe you money; Payable --
entities to whom you owe money; Payroll -- entities who get paid for a
salary/wage).  That common module of dealing with names/addresses and
relationships could be abstracted out of all three modules and made a
common service.
