“What Do You Do?” (A Moment That Speaks Volumes About Accounts Payable)
Inspired by an Instagram street interview
Sometimes, a quick question on the street captures more truth than a thousand surveys. In one Instagram clip, a passerby was asked, “What do you do?” Her answer, and what followed, says a lot about the quiet strength of Accounts Payable professionals.
Q: What do you do?
A: Accounts Payable.
Q: How long you been doing that?
A: 20 years plus.
Q: What do you like most about it?
A: It suits my lifestyle. I can pick up my kids by 6. It fits my life.
That brief exchange, originally shared on social media, has been making its way through professional circles because it captures something many of us feel but rarely say out loud. Accounts Payable may not always be flashy, but it provides something priceless: balance, purpose, and stability.
Why it resonates
- Consistency and reliability are qualities that make AP professionals the backbone of finance teams.
- Work-life balance is a value that grows more important with every passing year.
- Quiet mastery shows the kind of excellence that does not need to shout.
“It suits my lifestyle.” For many in Accounts Payable, that is the true definition of success.
