Episode 61 - Throwing the Banking Playbook Out the Window with Mark Brousseau (Brousseau & Associates)

In this episode of The Treasury Whisperer’s Talkcast Podcast, host Seth Marlowe interviews Mark Brousseau, President of Brousseau & Associates. Seth and Mark discuss Mark’s unexpected journey from aspiring newspaper reporter to payments, AP, AR, treasury, and automation thought leader, along with his work with IOFM and the Cash Management Leadership Institute. They explore how accounts payable and accounts receivable have evolved from back-office functions into strategic sources of cash flow insight, why treasurers are still spending too much time wrangling spreadsheets and bank portals, and how AI and automation can help finance teams scale, improve data quality, reduce fraud, and support business growth. The conversation also covers deductions, vendor master data, supplier onboarding, real-time payments, embedded finance, stablecoins, digital wallets, ERP platforms, and why finance leaders and bankers may need to rethink the traditional banking and money movement playbook.
