The challenge
What was missing
Invoices were going out late, follow-up was inconsistent, and the owner had no AR-aging view to anticipate cash pressure.
The operating change
One finance system replaced an incomplete view.
Days sales outstanding declined by 33 days, with 90-day cash visibility and no end-of-month invoice backlog.
What TMA built
Foundation before decisions
- 01Took ownership of invoices, delivery, and follow-up
- 02Introduced a weekly AR aging rhythm
- 03Built a rolling 90-day cash forecast around expected receipts
The statement
See the operating difference.
Each view is intentionally compact: the lines a founder or operator should be able to use in a decision conversation.
