Kickstart Your AP Transformation: 3 Resolutions for Smarter Finance in 2026

Tuesday, Apr 26th 2022 - 11 AM EDT | 8 AM PDT


What if efficiency wasn’t about paying faster — but paying smarter? 
In 2026, finance leaders are rethinking how they manage cash, close books, and empower their teams. This session explores how modern Accounts Payable teams cut invoice costs, improve visibility, and strengthen business impact — without adding headcount. 

You’ll learn how automation eliminates the manual friction that slows down approvals, how better insight enables smarter payment timing and cash control, and how AP can evolve from back-office function to trusted business partner. 

Join us to discover three practical resolutions you can put in place this quarter to make your AP team a true driver of value in 2026. 

  • Eliminate Manual Friction – Stop chasing approvals and keying data. Free your team to focus on analysis and exception handling. 
  • Take Control of Cash and Working Capital – Use visibility and timing insights to optimize cash flow and avoid costly surprises. 
  • Position AP as a Strategic Partner – Turn process efficiency into partnership: help your organization forecast, plan, and grow with confidence. 

Learning objectives: 

After attending, participants will be able to: 

  • Identify how manual AP processes limit visibility and increase costs, and explain how automation helps regain control over cash and working capital. 
  • Describe how AP automation shifts the function from task execution to strategic partnership through collaboration, data, and better decision-making. 
  • Outline how Quadient AP supports visibility, workflow design, and payment control to help finance teams execute a more intentional Accounts Payable strategy.
