Most traditional collections agencies typically take a commission — 25-50% of what they recover — and operates outside your system on their own timeline. We do the same job (recover cash on invoices you’ve already earned) but work inside your existing A/R platform, on a flexible retainer, without damaging the customer relationships your business depends on. We’re also not incentivized by what we collect, which changes the approach entirely. We focus on identifying the obstacles blocking payment and resolving them in a way that protects relationships with customers
No. We work inside your existing A/R system. Your data stays where it belongs — no migration, no third-party access, no disruption. To your customers, it looks like you hired a new member of your finance team.
Cash-flow impact typically starts within 30 days — often within the first week. You see results before you owe us anything.
The opposite — protecting those relationships is the whole brief. We’re never aggressive. We find the obstacle blocking payment and work through it. Past-due customers remain customers after the engagement.
Our Train & Transition engagement is built for exactly that situation. We work alongside your team, help clean up past-dues, install our process and tools, train your staff — then hand it back. The goal is long-term internal capability, not a permanent dependency on us
We’re based in Minneapolis but work with B2B companies across the U.S including California, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Virginia and more.
They probably can. The issue is usually that they don’t know where the process is breaking — and that’s where cash slows down. We diagnose what’s causing the backlog, address it, and hand it back. If the goal is long-term internal capability, Train & Transition is designed for that.
Billing is done in arrears. You have a 30-day window plus 15-day payment terms before anything is owed to us. We typically get cash moving for clients within the first 30 days — which means you are very likely to see results before you pay.
It depends on the engagement. Flexible & Fractional and Train & Transition run on a flexible monthly retainer. Liquidation & Recovery engagements use a reasonable success fee. We’ll always be upfront about which model applies to your situation.
Most Flexible & Fractional clients stay 12+ months. Train & Transition engagements typically run 6-12 months. Engagements are scoped to what the work requires — no long-term lock-in, no obligation beyond that.
We’re built for B2B companies in the $25M-$500M+ revenue range with a pattern of past-due accounts across multiple customers. If you have one bad invoice or one difficult customer, a traditional collections agency is probably a better fit. If you have a growing list of accounts that need consistent follow-up, that’s where we come in.
Senior practitioners with decades of combined B2B A/R experience. No call center, no scripts, no offshoring. The same team that knows your accounts is the team making the calls.
Flexible & Fractional and Train & Transition engagements typically run $2,500-$10K/month depending on volume and scope — comparable to a part-time A/R hire, without the benefits, PTO, or ramp time. Liquidation & Recovery engagements run on a reasonable success fee. We’re happy to discuss specifics once we understand your situation.
Most commonly, we work with construction, manufacturing, professional services, logistics, and supply chain. The method works for many B2B businesses with a backlog of past-due accounts across multiple customers.
Yes. Engagements are flexible to meet your needs. We’ll scope it to what the work actually requires.
You keep the process, the tools, and the playbook. And if you decide you want ongoing support down the road, we’re easy to bring back.
