The Expertise behind Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow

Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow is the brainchild of Mary S. Schaeffer. She is the leading accounts payable journalist in the country having written more about this topic for a longer period of time than virtually any other professional.

She wrote the first newsletter ever devoted to accounts payable and for eleven years served as the sole author of that publication (as well as several others).
Her work has also appeared in numerous business and non-business publications including Corporate Cashflow , Home Business News , Treasury and Risk Management , Financial Freedom Report , The New York Times and others.
She has developed or help develop the content for numerous successful accounts payable conferences, seminars and training sessions.
Before becoming a journalist, she spent fifteen years in the corporate world working in treasury, cash management and finance for several Fortune 500-size companies. Two were privately held and exhibited characteristics commonly found in mid-size companies.
She has a B.S. in Math (York College, CUNY) and an M.B.A. in Finance (New York University).
She belongs to the New York Financial Writers Association and The Authors Guild.
Most importantly, she understands and likes accounts payable and the issues that relate to it - although if someone held a gun to her head, she'd be forced to admit that T&E is not at the top of any of her lists.
