For too long, Accounts Payable technology has flown under the radar, but that's finally changing! 🚀 The first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Accounts Payable Applications has landed, and we’re thrilled to see Esker named a Leader. This is more than a ranking. It’s recognition of the critical role that AP technology plays in business success: ✅ AI eliminating manual processes ✅ Real-time visibility for smarter cashflow management ✅ Global compliance, simplified ✅ And, most importantly, empowering AP teams to focus on strategy, not admin At the APA, we’ve always believed that AP deserves the spotlight.

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” And that is exactly why Sarah Turner was named our APA Key Person of Influence. Sarah doesn’t just lead with skill. She leads with purpose. Her ethos is about doing the right things: lifting others up, spotlighting the unsung heroes of AP, and showing what true community-led leadership looks like. From championing career growth to celebrating every team win, Sarah has shaped not just processes, but people. Even in her acceptance speech, she turned the spotlight on others. That’s not just leadership. That’s influence. 👏 Thank you, Sarah, for setting the standard and inspiring us all. #WeAreAPA #LeadershipInAP
