Our client was experiencing delays in collections of account receivable that were negatively impacting business performance.

Solution
Our Financial Operations practice designed an executable program across 4 critical areas that would improve cash flow and reduce DSO. We determined root cause issues, business practices, workflows, data management, and behaviors in commercial contracting, field operations, invoicing, and collections that could result in improved cash flow. The successful change management initiative sustained enhanced cash flow from operations and improved overall business performance.
