What quote-to-cash in Fintra does
Quote-to-cash (Q2C) is the whole path from a priced quote to cash in the bank. In most SMBs that path crosses four disconnected tools - a proposal doc, a spreadsheet for pricing, an accounting app for the invoice, and a bank for the payment - so numbers get re-keyed and rarely tie out. Fintra runs the whole path on one ledger, so the quote total, the invoice, and the receivable are the same number.
- Quote totals computed in integer cents with round-half-up math, so a quote that converts to an invoice reconciles to the penny
- A tokenized approval portal your customer opens without a login to accept or decline
- One click converts an accepted quote into a draft invoice on the general ledger
- A status state machine (draft → sent → accepted / declined / expired) that drives the pipeline and commission events
The five quote-to-cash stages
| Stage | What happens | What Fintra automates |
|---|---|---|
| Quote | Price the deal with line items and tax | Deterministic cents-based totals + line-level tax |
| Approve | Customer signs off | Secure tokenized portal - accept/decline, no login |
| Convert | Quote becomes an order/invoice | One-click quote → draft invoice on the ledger |
| Bill | Invoice is sent and posted | Invoice posts to AR; totals tie to the quote |
| Collect | Payment lands and reconciles | ACH via Increase; payment closes the receivable |
Why the numbers tie out
The Q2C engine never touches floating-point money. Line amounts are computed as quantity × unit price in integer cents, rounded half-up once, and tax is rounded per line - the same money model the invoicing and payments layers use. That is why an accepted $24,900.00 quote becomes a $24,900.00 receivable, not $24,899.99.
Governed, auditable, lead-linked
- Every quote status change can move the linked CRM lead to the matching pipeline stage (lead-to-cash), so sales and finance never fall out of sync
- An accepted quote can fire a booking commission event automatically, with clawback reversal if the deal is later voided
- SentriAI-powered audit trails record who created, sent, and accepted each quote
- AgentFence governs what any AI step is allowed to do - drafts require human approval before anything posts
Frequently asked questions
What is quote-to-cash software?
Quote-to-cash (Q2C) software manages the full path from a priced quote to collected cash: quoting, approval, order, invoice, and payment. Fintra runs all of it on one ledger, so the quote total becomes the invoice and the receivable without re-keying, and every step is logged with an audit trail.
How is quote-to-cash different from CPQ?
CPQ (configure, price, quote) is just the front of the process - building and pricing the quote. Quote-to-cash covers CPQ plus approval, invoicing, and collection. Fintra includes the quoting engine and carries the accepted quote all the way through billing and payment on the same system.
Does the quote total match the invoice exactly?
Yes. Quote totals are computed in integer cents with round-half-up math and per-line tax, the same money model the invoicing layer uses. A converted quote reconciles to the invoice to the penny, so AR never carries a rounding gap between what you quoted and what you billed.
Can customers approve a quote without an account?
Yes. Fintra generates a secure tokenized portal link the customer opens in a browser to accept or decline - no login or account required. The token is single-purpose and the acceptance is recorded against the quote, so you get a timestamped record of the sign-off.
