The AR clerk’s workspace for getting paid faster
Send invoices, chase collections with automated reminders, and apply incoming cash with AI matching - so DSO falls and nothing slips through the aging report.
Collections, before and after Fintra
An AR clerk spends the day sending invoices, following up on overdue accounts, and matching payments to the right invoice. Fintra automates the reminders and the cash matching so you focus on the accounts that genuinely need a human touch.

The work you own, and where it lives

| Applying cash | Cash application with AI matching |
| Aging visibility | AR aging report tied to the GL |
Lower DSO without more hours
Days sales outstanding falls when reminders go out on time and cash is applied cleanly. Automating both means DSO improves without adding headcount, and the AR aging report always ties back to the ledger you close against.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AR clerk do in Fintra?
An AR clerk sends invoices, follows up on overdue accounts, and applies incoming payments to the right invoices. Fintra automates payment reminders and uses AI to match cash to open invoices, so the clerk focuses on the higher-value collection conversations rather than manual reminders and matching.
How does Fintra help reduce DSO?
By sending payment reminders automatically on a schedule tied to aging buckets, offering online payment so customers can pay immediately, and prioritizing which accounts to chase. Getting reminders out on time and applying cash cleanly is what shortens days sales outstanding without adding headcount.
What is cash application?
Cash application is matching incoming payments to the open invoices they cover. Done by hand it is slow and error-prone, especially with partial payments or lump sums. Fintra uses AI to propose matches between payments and invoices, so cash is applied accurately and the aging report stays clean.
Does the AR aging report tie to the ledger?
Yes. The AR aging report reads from the same ledger you close against, so the balance always ties out. That means the accounts you are chasing and the receivable on the balance sheet are the same numbers, with no export-and-reconcile step to go stale between them.
