Is your traditional approach to managing your finances falling short? Are your debtor days ballooning and constraining the cash flow of your business? No time or resources to stay on top of your invoicing, identify poorly referenced debtor payments or chase slow paying accounts? Here’s why, and what has to change:

Debtor Days Ballooning?

As you work in your business and your client base grows, so do the number of invoices and often, unfortunately, so do your debtor days. You end up having a great deal of cash flow marooned with clients who are not paying as quickly as you would like.

In growing businesses, the simple solutions you took in the past, when you were smaller, for debtor management and accounts receivable can no longer keep up.

You cannot rely on your staff alone to monitor your accounts receivable if you want to stay on top of your cash flow.

Staff and your clients are human and therefore not consistent or timely.

Manual, ad hoc accounts receivable (AR) processes become inefficient. The snowballing of your debtor days is the consequence of a lack of process and one that does not make it simple and convenient for your clients to pay.

Manual Administration of Your Payment Terms and Invoicing is an Overhead

When you rely on your staff and administration to oversee debtor management and accounts receivable, it’s not only efficiency that suffers.

There is a significant cost in having your staff administer your accounts while they could be deployed doing more productive and value-added work. In addition, there is the hidden cost of printing invoices, the cost of postage, and the hours it takes for staff to deal with identifying and reconciling payments.

In order to streamline your business and reduce these costs, you must look for new, innovative solutions to manage your accounts receivable.
