How Your AP Turnover Ratio Can Make or Break Your Financial Strategy

Your Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio (APTO) does more than reflect how fast you pay vendors -it reveals how strategically you're managing your cash. A higher ratio indicates prompt payments, stronger supplier trust, and potential access to early-payment discounts.
