Why AP Is Where Cash, Risk, and Growth Meet

Accounts payable has traditionally been treated as a cost center, but it can play a much more strategic role in managing cash, controlling risk, and supporting growth.

The Hackett Group’s 2025 U.S. Working Capital Survey found $1.7 trillion in excess working capital among the 1,000 largest U.S. public companies, much of it potentially tied up in procure-to-pay processes.

In this session, industry expert Mark Brousseau and Katie Eskandarian, CFO at onPhase, explored how visibility across finance and operations can help uncover working capital, reduce risk, and support smarter decision-making as organizations prepared for 2027 planning.
