Invoice Automation Agent

Invoice chasing absorbs hours your team should spend on fee-earning work. This agent manages the entire follow-up cycle from first reminder to overdue escalation without anyone on your team needing to pick up the phone.

The Problem

Where invoice admin is eating into your margins

Manual invoice chasing

Manual invoice chasing

Someone on your team is tracking spreadsheets, writing individual follow-up emails and calling clients about overdue invoices. It's time-consuming, inconsistent, and the first thing to slip when the team gets busy.

Inconsistent follow-up, late payments

Inconsistent follow-up, late payments

Without a systematic chase process, some invoices get followed up promptly and others don't. The result is unpredictable cash flow, awkward client conversations and money sitting on the ledger far longer than it should.

No visibility until it's too late

No visibility until it's too late

By the time an invoice is flagged as a problem, it's often already 60 or 90 days overdue. The agent gives you a live view and acts early — before a slow payer becomes a write-off risk.

The Agent

What the Invoice Automation Agent does

One agent, scoped to a specific workflow, KPI'd from day one, and managed by us. Here's what it handles.

Invoice & Payment Chasing Agent

Invoice & Payment Chasing Agent

Monitors your accounts receivable ledger for invoices approaching and passing their due dates. Sends staged, professional payment chasers on your behalf — first reminder, follow-up, final notice — with configurable timing and tone. Routes disputed or queried invoices to a human for review rather than chasing automatically. KPIs: days sales outstanding (DSO), invoice resolution rate, hours returned to fee-earning or finance staff per week.

Deployment

A proven framework for adding AI staff to your business

We use a simple four-phase process to define the role, onboard the agent and track performance from day one.

Phase 01

Define the role and business case

We start with your current invoice chasing process — who does it, how often, what tools you use. We agree the trigger points, the tone, and the escalation rules before any agent is built.

Phase 02

Build and onboard your agent

We then build the agent around your tools, data and tone of voice. Think of this as onboarding a new team member: accounts set up, access granted, training materials loaded and practice runs in a safe environment.

Phase 03

90-day probation with KPIs

For the first 90 days we treat this as a probation period. The agent takes on live work with clear limits, and we review performance with you regularly just as you would with a new hire.
