About Cerebral Palsy Alliance
Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) provides life-changing support and services for people living with cerebral palsy and related conditions. With over 2,500 employees and annual revenue of approximately $240 million, CPA operates at significant scale with complex financial workflows across multiple cost centres.
To better manage growing invoice volumes and improve visibility over invoice status, CPA implemented RapidP2P. The result is a more efficient, transparent and controlled accounts payable process that supports both Finance and business managers across the organisation.
Manual handoffs made invoice status difficult to track
CPA’s previous accounts payable process relied heavily on email and manual handoffs. Invoices were sent directly to managers, who coded and approved them before passing them on to the finance team.
This lack of visibility made it difficult for accounts payable to track invoice status, follow up in time or ensure timely payments. CPA needed a process that would simplify invoice handling for business managers, provide real-time oversight to Finance and bring greater consistency across cost centres.

Inconsistent processes
A centralised AP process with simpler approvals and vendor onboarding
CPA deployed RapidP2P’s Accounts Payable Automation module to centralise invoice processing and improve visibility across the accounts payable workflow. Invoices now enter the system through a single channel and are visible to the accounts team from the beginning of the process.
RapidP2P tracks each stage of the workflow, flags issues requiring attention and allows business managers to review and approve invoices with just a few clicks.
Vendor onboarding was also modernised with RapidP2P. Instead of relying on back-and-forth emails, vendors submit their information through a guided digital form, including proof of bank details, helping streamline vendor creation and reduce administrative effort.

Faster processing, better visibility and greater control
Cerebral Palsy Alliance now operates a more streamlined and well-controlled accounts payable process. Invoice processing that previously took a full day can now be completed in around half the time, with fewer delays and missed approvals.
Business managers have a simpler approval experience, while Finance benefits from real-time visibility, automated checks and full traceability. Vendor onboarding has also improved, with vendors submitting information through a guided process that reduces back-and-forth communication.
