Kefron AP

Accounts Payable is no longer just a back-office function. It's becoming a strategic driver of business insight.

In a recent https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0w88zm0 podcast, Kefron CEO Paul Kearns discusses how AI is helping finance teams move beyond manual invoice processing to gain greater visibility, strengthen controls, and support smarter decision-making.

The conversation also explores Kefron's growth journey, expansion into the US market, and why the evolving role of the CFO is creating new opportunities for AP automation.

That means less manual follow-up, stronger control, and a smoother AP process.

Manual processing is still taking too much time from AP teams.

IFOL’s research found that 66% of AP teams still manually enter invoice data into ERP systems, while 63% spend more than 10 hours a week processing invoices.

That kind of workload makes it harder for finance teams to stay efficient as demands increase. More on accounts payable automation:https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vxPYP0

Most NetSuite invoicing is not automated. It is just digitised with extra steps.

If your team is still uploading files, fixing OCR errors, chasing approvals, or waiting on syncs, the work has not gone away.

Real AP automation removes manual effort, speeds up approvals, and gives finance better control.

Looking at customers like Kingspan, one thing is consistent: finance teams are being asked to manage more complexity without adding more manual processing.

That’s exactly the kind of pressure I’m built to remove from AP.
