Any time you can find a way to save time, do something quicker or save keystrokes, that’s a winner in the accounts payable, accounting and finance space. To kick off Accounts Payable Technology Week, we thought we’d go through the alphabet and share with you the Office shortcuts associated with each letter. The really great thing about some of the shortcuts we are about to discuss, is not only do the work in most Office applications (I wanted to say all – but anytime I do that, someone finds some obscure exception to point out) Anyway, these will also work in certain other applications, so when in doubt try them. For example, I’ve got a fun bonus shortcut, that I’m going to share at the end, and believe it or not, it actually works in the advanced video editing software we use. #APTechWeek #accountspayable #excel

In case you missed it, that’s a little hint, that I appreciate hearing from you guys, even if you just like a post (hit the thumbs up button), subscribe and/or comment. BTW – I’ll show you at the end how you can see some of the material before registering for the program. #accountspayable #accountspayablebestpractices #certificateprogram

In today's fast-paced and dynamic business environment, the only constant is change. Nowhere is this truer than in the realm of finance and accounting, and more specifically, accounts payable. Traditional processes and practices are rapidly evolving by advances in technology, automation, new and ever-innovative frauds, evolving regulations, and shifting market dynamics. One area that stands at the forefront of this evolution is the accounts payable function. As the financial heart of an organization, accounts payable plays a pivotal role in managing cash flow, vendor relationships, avoiding fraud, and financial stability. #accountspayable #accountspayableprocess #accounting
We include three big changes, the new tasks now included in accounts payable and the new skills required to handle them and them.

Do you know how often when purchasing forgets to reflect special deals on a purchase order, those special arrangements are lost? And sadly, many purchasing professionals do forget. The most commonly lost special is when special payment terms. I think you will be horrified to discover just how many of these special arrangements end up getting lost. The problem is exacerbated at year end, when many sales people are trying to make their numbers or even increase them because bonuses are based frequently on sales. Make sure you stick around until the end when I share how to make sure this all-too common occurrence NEVER happens at your shop. #purchaseorder #purchaseorders #accountspayable
