The Key to Managing a Successful Accounts Payable Department
There is a key to managing an accounts payable department that will set you apart. It will set you apart from other accounts payable departments, it will set you apart from the managers who ran the department before you, and it will set you apart from other departments in the company. It is this: Remember that you are part of the sales and customer service process. Do not think of yourself as just a rubber stamp department that doles out money to invoices. Become actively involved in resource-saving (not "cost-cutting") measures to make your department valuable.
