EMEA Webinar: Why Accounts Receivable Automation Is Rising to the Top of the Agenda for C-Suite & Shared Services
Sometimes the importance of something is not realised until it becomes difficult to obtain—which has been the case for many in recent months.
And who doesn’t want more cash? If you had additional cash or working capital, how could you invest that money? Cash is critical for every business in so many ways.
During this webinar, we’ll investigate why AR Automation is rising in importance to the CFO, CIO, and shared service centre leaders, with the focus of shareholders and stakeholders on the management of cash becoming increasingly more important.
For many businesses, the focus around the management of cash has become high on the agenda in the last year. But for many, the real challenge is in the next 18 months, as we balance the need to sell and return revenue streams while managing late payments and risk of non-payment—all while costs are being highly scrutinised.
AR automation is not the silver bullet (those don’t exist!) but is certainly a catalyst for access to cash, as proven by so many use cases.
Join this webinar to discover how AR automation is proving to be the cheapest and quickest way to find cash. We will cover:
- Why AR automation is to time what interest is to money
- How AR impacts the 3 key financial statements: Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss, and Free Cash Flow statement
- How costs are insignificant to the real benefits of AR Automation success
- How AR Intelligence can help shared services become a strategic business partner to sales, commercial, and other finance teams.
