About AR Workflow

I've been the contractor waiting to get paid.

I owned three restoration companies for over 14 years and collected more than $100 million. AR Workflow is the system I wish I'd had on day one.

Why I'm here

The work was never the hard part. Getting paid was.

Your crew does great work. The customer is happy. The invoice goes out, and then you wait.

I lived that for 14 years. Here's what it taught me, and why I built AR Workflow for contractors like you.

My story

From the jobsite to AR Workflow

The work

Three restoration companies

Water, fire, mold and rebuilds. Day and night calls, crews out fast.

The wait

Everyone meant to pay

Carriers, adjusters, property managers and homeowners. Payroll didn't wait.

The lesson

$100M+ collected

Cash comes in when someone follows up. Every invoice, every time.

The gap

Sticky notes and spreadsheets

QuickBooks knew what was owed. It never knew who was chasing it.

2020

I built AR Workflow

The collections system I wanted as an owner, connected to QuickBooks Online.

Today

Still in the books

I work with restoration owners as a CFO and see the same cash problem every month.

Lessons from the field

What 14 years taught me about getting paid

It's not done until it's in the bank

An open invoice is a loan to your customer.

Late rarely means no

Usually nobody asked. Steady follow-up fixes most of it.

Consistency beats heroics

A steady rhythm beats a month-end scramble.

Make it easy to pay

A payment link in every reminder removes the excuses.

Don't make your office the bad guy

Let friendly automation do the asking.

Check your aging weekly

Catch 60 days before it turns into 90.

Why AR Workflow exists

QuickBooks tracks your invoices. Who's chasing them?

The collections person every contractor needs and almost nobody has time to be.

Collections by hand

  • Follow-up lives on sticky notes and spreadsheets
  • Collections stop when someone is out
  • Your office has to play the bad guy
  • Customers pay when they get around to it
  • You spot old invoices too late
AR Workflow

Collections on autopilot

  • Every invoice on a workflow, synced from QuickBooks Online
  • Email, text and ringless voicemail until it's paid
  • Friendly, consistent reminders do the asking
  • Card and ACH payment links in every message
  • A clear AR view shows who to call next
Built for the trades

Born in restoration. Made for every trade.

If your crew does the work first and gets paid later, this is for you.

How we'll treat you

Four values our team lives by

Be humble

We tell you the truth

If AR Workflow isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
