Capital Leader, Ernst & Young LLP
Episode Summary: In early 2024, Peter Kingma released the groundbreaking book “Cash is King.” It was (and still is) an insightful exploration of the critical role cash plays in business. With over thirty years of experience advising global companies about cash management, Kingma offers a comprehensive framework for building organizational liquidity and preparing businesses for every opportunity.
Fast-forward by about 18 months and Peter is still focused on concepts such as “controlling what you can” and learning the real importance of the cash cycle versus just revenue. But there has also been an increasing and exciting injection of new technology and capabilities that come along with AI-powered platforms designed to greatly improve efficiency in the AR operations and, with it, a number of use cases that can help businesses right now and into the future. But, as Peter warns, AI is not a silver bullet for CFOs, credit professionals and so on.
