Accounts Receivable Automation for B2B SaaS | Clozure AI
Your fractional CFO sends a monthly P&L 14 days late. Nova produces board-ready financials at 4 PM Friday — every Friday — with cash forecast, runway scenarios, and the three numbers your board actually asks about. For Accounts Receivable Automation specifically, Nova doesn't just report on the past — she chases down every overdue invoice, reconciles payments automatically, and keeps your cash conversion cycle under 45 days. No more 60-day average wait times.
The Accounts Receivable Automation problem most teams have
Most B2B SaaS teams run AR on spreadsheets, a billing system, and sheer willpower. The result? A $50,000 invoice sits unpaid for 47 days on average. Your finance lead spends 12 hours per week on manual dunning emails and payment matching. And every month, 8% of invoices get written off as bad debt because nobody flagged the 90-day overdue account.
When you have 200+ customers on net-30 or net-60 terms, the math is brutal: a 45-day DSO means $1.2M in receivables floating in limbo. That's capital you could deploy into sales or product — instead, it's stuck in someone else's bank account.
How Nova owns Accounts Receivable Automation end-to-end
Nova doesn't just track AR — she automates the entire cycle. Here's how she handles your use case:
- Real-time cash-flow forecast — Nova ingests your open invoices, payment histories, and customer credit data. She predicts exactly which accounts will pay late, and by how much. No surprises on your weekly cash call.
- AR/AP autopilot — Nova sends personalized payment reminders, escalates to collections at the right moment, and reconciles payments the second they hit your bank. She even negotiates payment plans for at-risk accounts, keeping DSO under 35 days.
- Board-ready reports — Every Friday at 4 PM, Nova generates a one-page AR summary: aging buckets, cash collected this week, forecasted receipts, and a flag on any account over 60 days. Your board gets clarity without the 14-day lag.
- Expense anomaly detection — Nova cross-references AR data with your AP ledger. If a customer who always pays late suddenly sends a wire, or a vendor discount gets missed, she alerts you instantly.
A concrete Nova workflow
BEFORE: Acme SaaS (50 employees, $5M ARR) uses QuickBooks + manual emails. The finance manager spends every Monday morning sending 30 dunning emails. Average DSO: 52 days. One $120K enterprise customer goes 90 days overdue — no one notices until the CFO asks for a cash report. Write-off: $12K.
NOVA'S ACTIONS:
- On day 1, Nova connects to Acme's billing system and pulls all 215 open invoices.
- She scores each customer by payment risk. The 90-day-overdue account gets flagged as "critical" — Nova sends an automated escalation to the account executive and offers a 2% early-pay discount.
- On day 7, Nova sends personalized reminders to 43 accounts: 15 get a friendly nudge, 28 get a firm notice with late-fee warnings.
- On day 14, Nova reconciles 38 payments automatically — matching invoices to bank deposits in seconds. She updates the cash forecast: $340K collected, DSO drops to 38 days.
- The 90-day account accepts the discount — Nova generates a $117,600 payment plan, collected in 30 days.
AFTER: DSO: 34 days. Write-offs: $0. Finance manager saves 10 hours per week. Cash forecast accuracy: 94%.
Why Nova wins vs. hiring
Hiring a human AR specialist costs $65K–$85K per year plus benefits. They take 8–12 weeks to ramp, need vacation coverage, and can quit without notice. Nova costs a fraction — $0 setup, no ramp time, 24/7 uptime. She never takes a sick day, never misses a dunning email, and reconciles 100% of payments within 2 hours of receipt.
But Nova isn't a replacement — she's an augmentation. Your existing finance team focuses on strategy and customer relationships. Nova handles the repetitive, high-volume AR work. Together, you cut DSO by 30% and reduce bad debt by 80%.
