Stop the AP Leak: a letter to every leader who’s tired of counting drops There’s a moment in every finance leader’s month when the numbers go quiet. Not because the work is done, but because it is stuck - in an inbox, in a spreadsheet, in the space between “sent” and “approved”. We put together Stop the AP Leak for that moment. Because the leak is not a metaphor; it’s money. It’s hours. It’s trust. Processing paper-based invoices still costs up to $30 each, and that’s before you count the rework at month-end, the lost early-payment leverage. In a year where business email compromise stripped nearly $84 million from Australian organisations, the cost of “we’ll get to it” is not just operational, it’s existential. Finance does not exist to push paper; it exists to protect and propel the business. The good news? The tide is turning. Within the next few years, 80% of routine AP tasks will be automated. From keying data to curating exceptions. From chasing signatures to shaping strategy. From patchwork systems to one, unified flow that validates, routes, flags and proves - end-to-end. If you’re ready to lead a function that is calm under pressure, clear in its numbers and confident in its controls, start here.

89% of Australian CFOs say fraud risk is increasing within their finance function. And it’s not hard to see why. The finance leaders I speak to aren’t facing elaborate scams. The real issue is the day-to-day processes that are manual, disconnected, and full of gaps, which make fraud easy to miss. Here’s what that looks like in real terms: 🔹Duplicate invoices slipping through unnoticed 🔹Expense claims with falsified receipts 🔹Supplier bank detail changes that no one verifies 🔹Approvals given without proper oversight These aren’t one-off events, they’re symptoms of a system that can’t keep up. In my latest blog, I dive into what’s really exposing mid-sized businesses to unnecessary risk and what finance teams can do about it. Because once fraud is detected, the damage is already done. The opportunity is in preventing it before it happens. We’re seeing businesses build smarter infrastructure into their AP and expense processes with automation doing the heavy lifting. That means: 🔸Real-time visibility 🔸Embedded controls 🔸Fewer opportunities for fraud to hide Read the full blog: https://hubs.la/Q03xBhWz0 #FinanceLeadership #SpendControl #InvoiceAutomation #MidMarketGrowth #ProSpend

Paper shouldn’t be the reason finance teams fall behind. But for too many businesses, it still is. The average finance team still spends up to 40% of their time manually processing invoices, chasing approvals, and entering data by hand. Manual AP isn’t just slow, it’s a hidden cost that impacts the entire business with: 🔹Delayed approvals stall supplier payments 🔹Manual data entry leads to costly errors 🔹Staff burnout drives turnover and inconsistency Our latest video uncovers the real impact of relying on paper and manual workflows and why it’s time to leave those processes in the past. With ProSpend, businesses move away from printing, scanning, emailing, and rekeying, towards a smarter, automated AP process. Invoices are captured, coded, and routed for approval instantly. No bottlenecks. No paper trail. Finance leaders shouldn’t be chasing invoices. They should be driving strategy. 👉 Watch the video to see what modern AP really looks like and how your team can get there. Stop Processing Papers.

Fraud control is a month-long responsibility for finance teams. A duplicate invoice, an unexpected change to supplier bank details or an expense that does not look right can appear at any time. If those checks only happen at month-end, finance may be left piecing together what happened after the fact. The better approach is to build review into everyday finance workflows, so unusual activity gets attention when it appears.
