In today’s podcast, Craig Jeffery sits down with Vikas Shah from LSQ for a discussion on the pressing need for companies to focus on driving cost savings and improving liquidity.

Complexity caused by additional payment times is adding to historical pain points found in accounts receivable (AR). Poor processes and outdated technology impact every part of AR and create a negative echo effect on liquidity, scalability, efficiency and staff. This session will explain why the challenges have increased and examine ways that companies’ AR and treasury groups are revolutionizing cash application to great effect. The use of technology such as AI/ML, bots, and integration of data and processes are all changing AR. The theory will be supported by several select case studies to bring the concepts to the practical level.
The current macro-economic situation now has multiple cross-currents and several strong headwinds from inflation rates to supply chain challenges. Treasurers are finding that they have to pull multiple levers to steer their financial ships properly in this rising storm. This session will look at the changing environment and examine how traditional and new levers can help companies navigate these choppy waters skillfully. Topics covered will include supply chain finance and other AP levers such as Pay Later, credit-as-a-service (CaaS) for AR, forecasting properly in calm vs. stormy environments, and more.
