  • Working Capital 2.0: Optimize AR & AP, Strengthen Suppliers, Improve Visibility (Monkey)
    Oct 20 2025

    Traditional AR and AP finance is no longer enough. With evolving disclosure requirements, tariff pressures, and increasing supplier expectations, treasurers must deliver liquidity and visibility with fewer resources while managing heavier supplier demands.

    In this episode, Sean VanGundy and Jeremy Reedus join Craig Jeffery from Strategic Treasurer and Michel Abranches from Monkey Tech (Money is Key) to explore how working capital 2.0 helps treasurers move beyond one-size-fits-all programs. They discuss how hybrid approaches, such as auction-based supplier financing for lower rates alongside automated dynamic discounting, can optimize AR and AP, strengthen supplier adoption, and deliver measurable EBITDA impact. The conversation also highlights how real-time visibility gives treasurers a true decision cockpit and how removing the lift of supplier onboarding and support enables higher participation and improved governance.

    Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

    You could lose money by investing in a mutual fund. Although some money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, they cannot guarantee they will do so. An investment in these funds is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

    Ultrashort and other short duration bond funds are not "money market" mutual funds. Some money market mutual funds attempt to maintain a stable net asset value through compliance with relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. Short duration funds are not governed by those rules, and their shares will fluctuate in value.
