See Your Money Clearly: Mapping the Movement

Run a two‑hour swimlane session with finance, sales, operations, and procurement. Map how cash actually moves, not how you think it should. Expect to uncover approval bottlenecks, duplicate steps, and preventable waiting.

Receivables, Accelerated

Send Earlier, Simpler, Smarter

Convert approved quotes to invoices instantly, attach POs, and include clear deliverable checklists. Automate polite reminders with human tone, and escalate thoughtfully. Shorter cycles begin with fewer questions and zero ambiguity upfront.

Payment Rails That Remove Friction

Offer ACH, card, and wallet options with secure links on every invoice. Embed click‑to‑pay and save preferred methods. Reduce cart‑abandon style drop‑off by eliminating portals and password hurdles that slow otherwise willing payers.

Make Speed a Win for Customers

Frame early‑pay incentives as customer loyalty perks—priority scheduling, reserved inventory, or extended support windows. When speed benefits them first, their finance team champions faster approvals without you pushing relentlessly.

Negotiate Terms Like Partners

Share demand forecasts and seasonality to co‑design terms that fit both sides. Use dynamic discounting: pay early when flush, extend when tight. The conversation shifts from price battles to mutual continuity and resilience.

Approval Workflow That Moves

Establish thresholds, two‑step approvals for large spends, and mobile sign‑offs for traveling managers. Route exceptions automatically and timestamp everything. Faster, auditable approvals prevent frantic Friday wires and keep cash promises credible.

Calendarized Cash Cadence

Batch payments on fixed days, align with collection cycles, and publish the schedule. Suppliers appreciate predictability, and your team avoids reactive fires. A calm cadence protects payroll, taxes, and essential obligations without drama.

Lean Inventory, Strong Cash

Classify SKUs by value and velocity, then monitor real‑time demand signals from orders and returns. Focus attention on A‑items, automate C‑items, and let data, not habit, drive replenishment effort and budget allocation.

Lean Inventory, Strong Cash

Use safety stock informed by lead‑time variability and forecast error, not a single static number. Recalculate monthly. Breathing reorder points prevent stockouts and avoid bloated shelves starving your cash of better uses.

Lean Inventory, Strong Cash

One regional distributor trimmed slow‑moving SKUs by 18% after a candid supplier review. They freed $420,000 in working capital, cut picking time, and finally stopped buying pallets just to feel ‘safe’ before holidays.

Integrations Over Islands

Sync your accounting platform with CRM, billing, and bank feeds. Kill manual CSV shuffles. When systems talk, invoices go out sooner, receipts reconcile faster, and leaders debate strategy instead of spreadsheet versions.

No-Code, Real ROI

Trigger reminders, approvals, and ledger entries with no‑code tools tied to events—invoice created, payment received, shipment delivered. Start small, measure hours saved, and reinvest wins into the next automation experiment.

Dashboards That Drive Action

Build a single view of DSO, aging, burn, runway, and forecast variance. Color the exceptions, not everything. A daily glance should prompt one concrete action, not a scroll through decorative charts.

Resilience: Plan, Test, Adapt

Run monthly sprints testing upside and downside scenarios—lost customer, delayed funding, big win. Pre‑decide hiring gates, discretionary spend pauses, and inventory pivots. Practice reduces panic and compresses time‑to‑decision.

Resilience: Plan, Test, Adapt

Define clear thresholds for action: runway under five months, DSO over 45 days, aging past due above 12%. When a trigger hits, the playbook starts—no debate, just execution everyone has rehearsed.
