AP Technology Week: Documentation

While most professionals understand the importance of documenting new processes, many would rather undergo a root canal than to sit down and produce the necessary documentation. What’s more, this issue is becoming increasingly important as new technology is inundating the accounting, finance and accounts payable space. So, when Marie Mills, a nationally recognized documentation expert agreed to sit down and chat with us specifically about documenting the use of technology. Make sure you stick around until the end when she shares some strategies for documenting areas you probably never thought of documenting … and believe me, when you run into trouble, you’ll be glad you followed Marie’s advice. #documentation #accountspayable #APTechnology Week

AP Technology Week: Excel

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
