Accounts receivable is still more manual than it should be, with teams juggling inconsistent payment data, slow processes, and limited visibility into what’s actually coming in. In this episode, Jamie Delmedico talks through why reconciliation takes so long, where ERP systems fall short, and how AI is starting to change the way AR teams manage cash flow. For CFOs, finance leaders, and AR teams, it’s a practical guide to reducing DSO, improving visibility, and removing unnecessary complexity from the process.

MHC CFO Aaron Stenhaug joins host Paul McMeekin to share how finance leaders can stay disciplined in uncertain markets while still investing in modernization. They discuss practical ROI tests for AI and automation, embedding fraud controls into payments workflows, and why treating payments as a strategic capability can improve cash flow, risk management, and working capital.

Stablecoins are getting a lot of attention in payments right now. The bigger question is what they’re actually useful for.

In this episode, Jessica Cheney and Colin Swain unpack where stablecoin fits in corporate finance today, from cross-border payments and liquidity to FX risk, cost, and the real use cases behind the hype. They also explore why stablecoin is likely to sit alongside existing payment rails, becoming another asset within familiar treasury platforms rather than replacing them. Finally, the conversation looks at how AI and automation, combined with programmable money, could reshape how finance teams manage payments and liquidity.
