5 Steps to Becoming a Growth-Driven AP Department

Growth is on the minds of businesses of all sizes.  As part of its changing role in the organization, AP is playing a bigger role in supporting growth-generating initiatives.  AP as a whole is moving from doing things that help the business day-to-day, to becoming a growth engine.  And AP leaders are taking on the expanded role of growth strategists.  But becoming growth-driven requires AP to have new tools and a new approach to onboarding suppliers, processing invoices, and paying suppliers.

What you will learn:

• The latest benchmarks on how AP is becoming a growth enabler
• The changing role of AP and AP leaders within the organization

• The technologies every growth-minded AP department needs
• An action plan for transforming AP into a growth engine
