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.
