MineralTree’s cloud-based software automates the end-to-end invoice-to-payment process for middle-market businesses and allows stakeholders to review, authorize, and schedule payments anywhere, from any device. The platform integrates seamlessly with banks and with most accounting/ERP software. Finance teams get better visibility and control of cash flow while also gaining significant operational efficiencies vs. manual AP processes.
“AP and payments in the middle-market are ripe for modernization. I believe MineralTree’s ability to automate the entire process positions us exceptionally well to meet that need,” said Brooks. “It’s a really exciting time to be joining the team here and advancing the already extensive capabilities of the platform. The solution is especially relevant to finance teams challenged by remote work requirements today.”
