Case Study: Top Hat achieves global AP automation and streamlined royalty payments with Tipalti
A Tipalti Case Study
Top Hat Automates Global Accounts Payable Operations & Royalty Payments
Top Hat is an interactive education platform used by more than 2 million students at 750 colleges, built to “make education better” by bringing classroom tools to students’ devices. As the company scaled, Accounts Payable became a bottleneck: AP was manual, reliant on a single analyst, required CEO/CFO signoffs, involved printing checks, and handled complex royalty payments to 500+ professors across three entities and multiple currencies, all while needing NetSuite OneWorld compatibility.
Top Hat implemented Tipalti to automate payables and royalty disbursements, integrating with NetSuite OneWorld to enable multi-entity, multi-currency processing, approval visibility, and audit trails. The change saved about 30 hours per week, reduced errors, simplified global payments, improved payee experience, and freed the finance team to focus on strategic work with Tipalti as the single source of truth for payables.
