The term “AP Contact” may not be familiar to many business professionals, yet it is an essential role in successful organizations. AP Contacts are individuals responsible for the handling of Accounts Payable (AP) processes and functions across a business, ultimately becoming the liaison between vendors, suppliers and internal staff. As such, these contacts need to possess strong communication and organizational skills, as well as a working knowledge of accounts payable and finance. In addition to managing invoices and supplier relations, AP Contacts must also ensure that accounts payable processes are compliant with relevant regulations. Without this crucial position, accounts payable activities would become chaotic and time-consuming – so give your AP Contact a round of applause!
