The Forgotten Function of Finance
(Hint: It’s Accounts Payable)
Accounts Payable is one of the most overlooked functions in corporate finance—treated like a utility, not a strategic lever. But ignoring it costs you focus, cashflow, and control. Let’s fix that.
It Isn’t Fair That You Feel Forgotten
AP didn’t build the mess, but you’re the one stuck cleaning it up.
Let’s be real:
- Why does nobody notice AP until something goes wrong?
- Why is procurement always asking about PO compliance like it’s your fault?
- Why are you still chasing exceptions, coding errors, and broken approvals like it’s 2008?
- Why is “just pay the invoice already” somehow a multi-department drama?
This isn’t just annoying. It’s demoralizing.
You deserve tools that make your job easier — not harder.
WORKFLOWS
AREN'T WORKING
Sure, you’ve got flowcharts and approval gates. Maybe even a fancy automation tool or two. But behind the scenes? Invoices are stuck in inboxes. Ownership is unclear. Fraud and errors slip through.
WHY TRADITIONAL AP SOFTWARE
FALLS FLAT
Going digital was supposed to solve the problem. Instead, the paper mess turned into an email mess. You’re still chasing approvals. Still fixing mistakes days after they happen.
Still stuck in reactive mode.

Still scrambling to find the duplicates? Still praying the system doesn’t freeze during month-end? Wishing you had a couple interns to do the busy-work? That’s not finance. That’s damage control.
