How to address potential bias in business responsibilities between partners

My business partner handles all our vendor relationships and I've started noticing we pay some people really slowly while others get paid immediately, and when I asked about it she got defensive and said I don't understand the cash flow. I think there's a pattern about who waits and who doesn't, and it feels like we're not living up to our responsibility to treat people fairly, but I don't know how to push without accusing her of something.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners are navigating how to discuss concerns about fairness and responsibility when one person controls decisions that affect their shared obligations to others.
