Financial ServicesCash Flow Management4HighFinance Ops Manager$ implied

Finance ops manager struggles with cash flow timing: vendor invoices due before customer payments arrive, wants to extend payables by paying with credit card while vendors still receive ACH.

Existing payment methods don't allow delaying cash outflow without burdening vendors or incurring high fees; unclear if card fee is justified for slightly longer float.
