Understand how companies operate through core business processes like P2P, O2C, R2R, and H2R, and how these processes connect across teams and systems.

Course Overview

This course helps you understand how companies actually operate through connected business processes rather than isolated departments. You will learn the four core processes: Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Order-to-Cash (O2C), Record-to-Report (R2R), and Hire-to-Retire (H2R)—and how they work together to run an organization. The course also explains where roles like Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and General Ledger fit within these processes. With simple examples and real-world context, you will develop a flow-based understanding of business operations and build a strong foundation for roles in operations, finance, and consulting.
