Accounts Receivable Collections, Aging, and DSO Management for SaaS

Why AR Discipline Protects Runway

• Accounts receivable is revenue you have earned and invoiced but not yet collected in cash, and it directly ties up working capital.
• A venture-backed startup can report strong bookings while starving for cash if invoices sit unpaid for months.
• Every dollar stuck in receivables is a dollar not funding payroll or growth, so collections is a core finance function, not an afterthought.
• Tightening collections is often the fastest way to extend runway without cutting costs or raising new capital.
