Get paid on time: collections that learn, and a 13-week cash forecast

For a small business, a late invoice isn’t an accounting detail — it’s next month’s payroll. Yet chasing money is the job everyone postpones, because it feels awkward and takes time.

A reminder ladder that knows its limits

1. 1
   Before the due date

   A friendly heads-up two days before the invoice is due.
2. 2
   Due, +3 and +7 days

   Polite, then firmer reminders. On the Growth plan, autopilot can send these for you.
3. 3
   +14 and +30 days

   Escalation and a final notice, with statutory late interest where the law allows it. These only ever go out after you approve them — enforced by the database, not by a prompt.

Every figure in a reminder is checked against the invoice before it is sent. When a client pays, you record it in one click — the invoice closes, open reminders are withdrawn, and the team learns how that client usually pays so the next nudge is timed better.

Your next 13 weeks of cash

The cash forecast shows cash week by week with an honest low/high band, your lowest week ahead, and how much is safe to pay yourself. It updates as invoices are paid and new data arrives.
