WHY FINANCE TEAMS GET STUCK

Manual collections create blind spots—and month-end becomes a fire drill.

The issue isn’t effort—it’s the lack of a consistent system. When follow-ups, disputes, statements, approvals and recons rely on memory, spreadsheets and inbox searches, cashflow and close speed suffer.

Follow-ups are inconsistent

Some customers get chased daily, others not at all. Promises-to-pay aren’t tracked and teams lose leverage.

Disputes clog cashflow

Disputes sit in inboxes without owners or SLAs. Dunning continues blindly—or stops forever with no visibility.

Close takes too long

Statements, recons and reporting packs are done late and manually. Approvals are scattered and hard to audit.

THE “CASHFLOW CONTROL LOOP”

Finance Ops is a workflow—not a pile of admin.

We implement a repeatable loop: reminders → replies → routing → PTP tracking → statements → reporting → approvals → audit. Your team works exceptions, while the system runs the routine.

Invoice
Invoice issued with correct contacts and references (PO, account code, terms).
Remind
Rules-based reminders before/after due date via email/WhatsApp (your tone + cadence).
Route
Replies auto-triaged: dispute, proof-of-payment, statement request, promised-to-pay, wrong contact.
Track
Promised-to-pay tracked. Missed promises trigger escalations, tasks, and new follow-ups.
Close
Statement runs + reporting packs + approvals logs. Full audit trail for control and compliance.

FAQ

Questions about Finance Ops Automation

Clear answers so you can move fast without losing control.

The routine work: reminder schedules, reply triage, promised-to-pay tracking, statement runs, monthly reporting packs, plus approvals and audit logs. Your team focuses on exceptions like real disputes and missing information.
No—cadence is controlled by your rules. We segment by customer tier and ageing, use clear wording, and apply pause/escalation logic so you stay firm without spamming.
It turns vague replies into tracked commitments. The system checks if the promise is kept, triggers follow-ups before the date, and escalates immediately when the promise is broken—so cash doesn’t slip quietly.
Yes. We route actions like write-offs, credits, threshold overrides, refunds or supplier payments to the right approver, and keep the audit trail: who approved, when, what changed, and the supporting documents.
Your accounting system, your current reminder process (even if informal), dispute types, the approval matrix, and how you want to communicate (email/WhatsApp/SMS). We start with one clean workflow and expand from there.
