The Cash-Flow Killer Hiding in Plain Sight (and How CFOs are Fixing It)

💥 55 % of all B2B invoices are paid late, and 42 % of companies sit on a DSO north of 60 days. That’s cash you’ve already earned—but can’t deploy toward growth, head-count, or debt reduction. In sectors like equipment manufacturing and healthcare, average DSO pushes past 90 days, triggering real liquidity crunches.
When working capital tightens, even the best product or pricing strategy stalls. That’s why forward-looking CFOs are treating accounts receivable as their most urgent digital-transformation frontier.
Revenue leakage – billing errors, failed subscription payments, and mis-applied discounts silently erode 1-5 % of EBITDA every year.
Companies adopting these platforms (HighRadius, Billtrust, Versapay, YayPay, Gaviti, BlackLine AR, etc.) report 10-20-day DSO reductions and, in heavy-equipment manufacturing, a 75 % jump in available cash within the first year.
