Optimizing Global Payments: Why Tipalti is Our Go-To Tool for Client Scalability

At Transparency Global, we specialize in transforming complex financial operations into streamlined, scalable processes. For businesses dealing with a high volume of supplier payments, especially those operating internationally, the Accounts Payable (AP) function can quickly become a bottleneck—draining time, resources, and cash flow. That's why we frequently recommend and implement Tipalti, the leading global payables automation platform, as a core component of our clients' financial infrastructure.

The Payables Problem Tipalti Solves

Manual AP processes are not just slow; they are inherently risky. Our clients often struggle with:

• Global Compliance: Ensuring every international vendor is paid on time while remaining compliant with varying tax regulations across 190+ countries.

• Time Sink: The endless cycle of manual invoice capture, data entry, payment reconciliation, and chasing down W-9 or W-8 forms.

• Fraud Risk: The lack of automated checks and controls, leaving the door open for payment fraud.

Tipalti resolves these challenges by automating the entire accounts payable lifecycle.

Key Benefits We Deliver Using Tipalti

As consultants who manage software implementation and financial strategy, we leverage Tipalti to deliver four distinct benefits that immediately impact our clients' bottom line:

1. End-to-End AP Automation

Tipalti eliminates the need for manual data entry by automating invoice capture, routing invoices for approval, and executing payments. This drastically reduces the time spent on AP tasks, freeing up your team to focus on strategic work.

2. Effortless Global Compliance

Tipalti offers a self-service portal for suppliers, which we configure to automatically collect and validate tax forms (like W-9 and W-8). The platform handles payments in over 190 countries, ensuring that payments comply with international regulations without requiring your team to become international tax experts. This is critical for businesses experiencing rapid global growth.

3. Seamless Integration with ERP

One of the reasons Tipalti is our preferred solution is its robust integration capabilities. We specialize in configuring Tipalti to integrate flawlessly with major ERP and accounting systems like

NetSuite and QuickBooks. This ensures that every payment transaction is automatically synchronized, simplifying month-end close and audit preparation.

4. Enhanced Financial Control and Audit Readiness

The platform provides built-in payment reconciliation and fraud prevention tools. By consolidating all your payments into a single, highly controlled system, we empower you with real-time financial visibility and ensure your records are clean and ready for any audit. In fact, we’ve executed Tipalti implementations across diverse organizations, using it as a key component for stabilizing financial operations.
