Course Description

Finance leaders are under pressure to cut costs and prove ROI, and AP is no longer just a back-office function - it's a strategic lever. Drawing on new findings from AvidXchange's Payment Strategy Survey, this webinar explores how forward-thinking organizations are using their payment infrastructure to strengthen supplier relationships, capture rebate revenue, and optimize working capital decisions.

Walk away with real benchmarks on where your peers stand, including how payment experience is shaping vendor selection and retention, plus a practical framework for uncovering the strategic value hiding in your AP operations.

Learning Objectives
  • Identify key findings from AvidXchange's 2026 Payment Strategy Survey and how finance leaders are using AP to cut costs and generate returns.
  • Evaluate your payment mix and supplier experience against industry benchmarks to uncover untapped rebate, efficiency, and retention opportunities.
  • Apply a framework for positioning AP as a strategic, relationship-driven function rather than a cost center.
