Our flagship product is our print newsletter, Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow. In addition to commentary from our editorial director, Mary S. Schaeffer, we feature a changing lineup of guest columnists and the latest industry updates.

We believe the very best information comes from the trenches not from ivory-tower scholars who never spent a day processing an invoice, resolving a three-way match discrepancy, or handling 1099s, sales and use tax issues, electronic invoicing, payment issues etc.. In other words, it comes from you, our ever-growing network of readers who live and breathe accounts payable issues every day.

Several times a year we survey readers to follow industry and career trends and report back to you.

Please check out the three subscription options for Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow. You can also renew your subscription online or check out back issues.

We also offer e-AP News, a free weekly e-zine containing AP tips, information about the market, upcoming AP events, and new products. Most issues include a contest but, alas, the prizes are all AP products.

Also available are: our popular Webinar series and CDs on topics of interest to AP professionals as well as relevant conferences; special reports; information on the expertise behind this site and our books; and our training and consulting services.

Thank you for visiting our Web site. We welcome comments from all professionals interested in accounts payable issues. Send them to Mary Schaeffer at marys@ap-now.com. See our mission statement here.
