Course Description

Payment options for your clients go way beyond credit card, check, or ACH in the modern day. With so many different ways to pay, you are uniquely positioned as their trusted advisor and outsourced accounting partner, to help clients understand the options available to them and optimize how they pay vendors. Financial operations tools like BILL give firms and their clients various ways to fund and disburse payments based on their cash flow, vendor requirements, and payment timelines. 

In this webinar, Kim Blascoe, CPA, senior director, CAS Professional Services, at CPA.com will be joined by Alex Hartzell, senior strategic account manager, at BILL, and Richard Corn, CPA, director of product, at BILL, to discuss how firms can bring the conversation around payment choice and optimization to their client advisory services (CAS) clients. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Differentiate between funding a payment and disbursing a payment using a modern financial operations platform

  • List the different types of funding methods and disbursement rails available to change the speed, associated cost, and impact to cash flow of a payment

  • Identify best practices for using an integrated financial operations platform to achieve higher efficiency and client satisfaction through payment precision

About Our Presenter

CPA.com was formed by the American Institute of CPAs. AICPA leadership knew the unprecedented pace of technological change required firms to adapt quickly and overcome the challenges of the partnership model to meet that goal. It charged CPA.com management with creating a business model, value proposition and infrastructure to help firms identify emerging trends and technologies and provide education, training and resources that would accelerate adoption.

 

CPA.com serves as a catalyst in the development of virtual CFO/controller services by firms and is now shifting its focus to similar innovations in tax and audit practices, with an emphasis on automation, artificial intelligence and the adoption of blockchain technology.
