Accounts payable (AP) is a challenging job that demands professionals to juggle numerous tasks simultaneously, from data entry to account reconciliation to monthly reporting.

Our recent ⁠AP Career Satisfaction Survey⁠, conducted in partnership with the ⁠Institute of Finance & Management⁠ (IOFM), found that a majority (51%) of AP professionals are “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their current role. Yet those who work in departments with outdated technology and a reliance on manual processes feel less positive towards their organization.  

In this episode, AvidXchange's host Chris Elmore discussed the results of this survey with Jeanne Dion of ⁠SAP Concur⁠. With decades of AP experience between the two, they shared insights and anecdotes about the importance of, and challenges faced in the AP role.
