What the first 90 days look like
Week 1–3
Reconciles the current AR ageing and AP queue, and finds what has been sitting uncollected. There is almost always something.
Week 4–8
Owns invoicing, collections follow-up and vendor payment scheduling on a fixed weekly rhythm.
Month 3+
Owns days-sales-outstanding as the number, plus month-end close support for your bookkeeper or CPA.
How to tell a good admin / ar / ap from a cheap one
Collections is the part people underestimate. Invoicing is mechanical; calling a general contractor about a 60-day-late progress payment without damaging the relationship is a skill. Ask candidates to talk through a real collections conversation. Also decide in advance what access they get — this role touches money, and the control question should be answered before day one, not after.
How this role is measured
Days sales outstanding. Invoicing is mechanical. Collections is the skill, and DSO is where the skill shows up.
| What we track | Why it is the right number |
|---|---|
| Days sales outstanding | The headline, trending down |
| Ageing over 60 days | The bucket where money goes to die |
| Invoice accuracy | Disputes caused by our own errors |
| Month-end close support | Days saved for the bookkeeper or CPA |
These are the numbers we report back to you, not internal vanity metrics. If one of them stops moving, that is the conversation to have in the weekly check-in.

Frequently asked
How quickly should days-sales-outstanding move?
Expect the first six weeks to be discovery — reconciling what is genuinely uncollected versus what was never invoiced properly. Movement usually shows from month two, and it comes from the weekly chasing rhythm rather than from any single conversation.
What financial controls are in place?
They prepare and schedule; approval authority stays with you. Standard setup is view and draft access in your accounting system, with payment release requiring your sign-off. We will not ask you to grant unilateral payment authority and you should not grant it.
Do they replace our bookkeeper or CPA?
No. They handle the daily transaction volume and the chasing, which is what makes your bookkeeper's monthly close fast and your CPA's bill smaller. Tax filing and financial statements stay with your licensed professionals.
