Staffing AR runs on a tightrope.
You pay workers every Friday whether clients have paid or not. Your AR team is managing hundreds of invoices across dozens of clients—and every dispute threatens cash flow.
The payroll pressure
Payroll goes out Friday. Client payments come in 30-60 days later. You're constantly bridging the gap.
Timesheet disputes
Client says 42 hours. Your records say 45. The invoice sits unpaid while someone reconciles.
High invoice volume
500-1,000+ open invoices. Your AR team can only touch a fraction each week. The rest just age.
Rate and markup disputes
Bill rate disagreements. Overtime calculations contested. Holiday premiums disputed. Small amounts that add up.

What staffing agencies achieve with Able Collect.
"We were factoring 55% of our AR. Now we're at 30%. That's real money back in our pocket—and we have better visibility into who to collect directly."
