Owners and operators

What we hear from business owners.

The work is done and invoiced. Getting paid for it takes up the evenings.

  • A business owner sitting at a table, looking at the camera

    Owner

    I end up chasing invoices at ten at night.

    “The day goes on the work. The chasing gets done when everyone else has gone home, if it gets done at all.”

  • An operations manager in a white shirt, smiling

    Operator

    I don’t want to be the one asking for money.

    “I know these people. I’d rather the reminder came from the business than from me on the phone.”

  • A business owner in glasses, smiling

    Owner

    Payroll doesn’t wait for net 60.

    “We’re profitable on paper and still moving money around on a Thursday to cover wages.”

What customers write back

The replies you no longer have to answer.

A reminder gets an answer, and the answer needs doing something about. This is what the agent does with the ones that usually land on your desk.

  • Accounts payable, Harbour Fitouts

    “We need a PO number before we can pay this.”

    What the agent does

    1. Asks whoever in your office has the PO
    2. Adds it to the invoice in your books
    3. Sends the corrected invoice back in the same thread
  • Office manager, Elmwood Dental Group

    “Can you send this to our accounts team instead?”

    What the agent does

    1. Updates the billing contact in your books
    2. Sends the invoice to the new address
    3. Chases them from now on, not the old contact
  • Director, Pinecrest Builders

    “We’ll pay it at the end of the month.”

    What the agent does

    1. Records the promise and the date
    2. Checks the books the day after
    3. If it hasn’t landed, follows up in the same thread
  • Owner, Copperleaf Interiors

    “We’re not happy with part of the job.”

    What the agent does

    1. Stops chasing that invoice
    2. Tells you what they said and asks how to respond
    3. Writes the reply you choose, for you to approve

Invented companies. Every email the agent writes waits for your approval unless you switch on Autopilot.

FAQ

A few things you might want to know.

Which accounting software does it work with?

QuickBooks Online and Xero, plus your business email. It reads your open invoices and works the overdue ones from the mailbox your customers already know.

Does it email customers on its own?

Only once you say so. Every email waits for approval until you switch on Autopilot, and you can switch it on one customer at a time.

Will it upset my customers?

It writes in your name, from your mailbox, in the same thread as the invoice. It is polite, specific about the invoice and the date, and it stops chasing the moment a customer raises a problem.

I don’t have a finance team. Is it for me?

Yes. Most owners who use it were doing the chasing themselves. The agent takes that on, and asks you only when something needs a decision.
