Get paid on time, every time

Late payments are the silent killer of small business cash flow. The average small business has $84,000 in outstanding receivables at any given time, and chasing those payments manually is one of the most dreaded tasks in any finance department. It's awkward, time-consuming, and often falls through the cracks until invoices are severely overdue, causing severe strain on operational capital.

The Iris AI Accounts Receivable Agent handles payment follow-up systematically and professionally. When an invoice passes its due date, the agent sends a polite reminder at 3 days — a gentle nudge with a secure payment link. If unpaid at 7 days, a firmer but still professional follow-up. At 14 days, a more urgent message referencing payment terms and late fees if applicable. Each message includes a direct, secure payment link so the customer can pay in one click.

The agent also handles basic billing questions — 'Can you resend the invoice?', 'What was this charge for?', 'Can we pay by credit card instead of ACH?' — without involving your team. Accounts that remain unpaid after all automated touchpoints are escalated to a human with a complete history of all attempts, so your team has full context when they step in.

By automating this persistent, professional communication, the agent reduces days sales outstanding (DSO) by an average of 30%, ensuring you get paid faster without damaging customer relationships. It connects with your favorite accounting suites like QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks, checking payment statuses automatically and ceasing reminders the moment an invoice is cleared. Whether you are dealing with friendly late-paying clients or more stubborn accounts, the agent remains courteous yet persistent, executing collections and invoice tracking with military precision. Let AI handle the uncomfortable job of payment collection so your team can focus on growth.
