Enjoy complimentary data migration when switching from your existing bookkeeper or CPA to Institution.
Accounts Receivable

Keep invoices, collections, and cash in view.

Institution tracks invoice delivery, follow-up, disputes, partial payments, and matching so aging reflects what is actually outstanding and the close has accurate receivables data.

Matching + reporting

How AR connects to close and cash.

  • Deposits matched against open invoices
  • Short-pays flagged with resolution path
  • Aging reviewed with the client on an agreed schedule
  • AR schedule feeds the reporting pack
  • Bad-debt provisions surfaced for review
  • Customer-level insight, not just totals
Boundaries

What AR coordination does not include.

  • Institution does not initiate payments or move cash.
  • Institution does not act as a collections agency.
  • Institution does not renegotiate contracts on the client's behalf.
  • Payment terms remain the client's business decision.

Frequently asked

  • Do you handle collections?
    We help run an agreed follow-up schedule with the client. Any third-party collections agency is a separate engagement authorized by the client.
  • Do you post partial payments?
    Yes. Partial payments and short-pays are matched against the open invoice and flagged for review.
  • Do you touch cash?
    No. Cash movement stays with the client's banking relationships.
