ISM-South Florida: Beyond the Price Tag: How Procurement Powers the Balance Sheet
Extending payment terms looks like free cash. Until a key supplier can't keep up. The useful conversation is about doing both: holding cash longer without starving the supply base. That's what early payment programs are built for, and most teams have never had them explained end to end. With Jorge Gomez (Mondelez International) and John Anderson (C2FO). Free on LinkedIn Live. ISM members who attend earn one Continuing Education Hour (CEH).
Extending payment terms looks like free cash. Until a key supplier can't keep up.
Ask a CFO what they want from procurement this year and cash will be in the sentence. But pushing terms out moves the pressure onto the suppliers you depend on, and that risk tends to come back to you.
The useful conversation is about doing both: holding cash longer without starving the supply base. That's what early payment programs are built for, and most teams have never had them explained end to end.
Jorge Gomez brings the buyer's view: how payment terms show up on the balance sheet. John Anderson brings the supplier's view: what early payment means for the companies on the other end of those terms. Both sides of the same transaction, in one hour.
