Description:
My AP workload just got dumped on me again because someone missed cutoff, and now I’m the one explaining late payments to vendors 😤 I keep getting pulled into cash matching, wire requests, and week-end bank recs even though my title is still AP. Is it realistic to turn that into treasury ops, or am I just getting used as backup forever? 💼
1 Answer
Yes, that path exists. AP people get pulled into treasury ops all the time when they already handle cash timing, wires, and bank recs - I watched a whole team get shifted after six months of exactly this mess 😤💼
The trick is getting your manager to put the work on paper and stop calling it backup. If you keep doing treasury tasks without the title or comp move, you are just covering holes for free 🧾
