Case Study: Sezzle achieves 75% AP workload reduction and saves 1,700 hours annually with Tipalti

Sezzle’s Financial Operations Sizzle with Tipalti

Sezzle, a Minneapolis–based buy-now-pay-later provider serving 34,000+ merchants, experienced rapid growth that strained a lean finance team. Accounts payable was manual and error-prone—vendor onboarding, tax form collection and invoice processing were scattered across systems, reconciliation took eight days, duplicate payments occurred, and staff spent hours chasing approvals, even requiring an extra accountant to help.

Sezzle implemented Tipalti’s end-to-end accounts payable platform with seamless Intacct integration to automate vendor onboarding, bill capture and global payments. The result: 1,700 hours saved annually, a 75% reduction in AP workload that avoided adding headcount, elimination of month‑end manual work, and more capacity for strategic finance activities like forecasting, FX hedging and partner development.
