Manual processes within the revenue cycle are a leading driver of uncollected cash, higher revenue dilution, and other liquidity challenges. In addition to impacting cash and revenue, ineffective and inefficient revenue cycle processes negatively impact employee and customer experience.
By prioritizing revenue cycle transformation, finance and accounting teams are prioritizing their bottom line. An optimized revenue cycle that maximizes the use of automation, technology, and leading practices results in faster cash collections, more informed business decisions, greater customer satisfaction, and improved financial results while driving operational efficiency and freeing F&A talent to focus on what matters most.
