Overdue Invoice Reminder Drafter
Overdue invoices stall when reminders are inconsistent - one customer gets a stiff final notice on day 3 while a 90-day delinquent account hears nothing, and cash that's already earned sits uncollected. This assistant reads each overdue account with its history - amount, days past due, prior contact, and relationship value - sets the right escalation stage, reads the collection risk, and drafts a reminder pitched to that exact moment. You replace ad-hoc, gut-feel dunning with consistent, relationship-aware outreach that recovers cash faster without burning the customers you want to keep.

How it works
- An overdue account comes in with its context - invoice amount, days past due, payment history, and any prior reminders sent.
- The assistant sets the escalation stage - friendly nudge, firm follow-up, or final notice - based on how far past due the account is and what's already been tried.
- It reads the collection risk and the relationship, then explains the recommended tone and next step.
- It drafts a reminder email pitched to that stage, which you review and approve before anything is sent.
Key benefits
- Recover earned cash faster with consistent, timely reminders instead of ad-hoc follow-up
- Match tone to the moment - a gentle nudge at day 5, a firm notice at day 60 - so you don't over- or under-escalate
- Protect relationships with customers worth keeping while still pressing for payment
- Give every overdue account the same disciplined, documented escalation path
Use cases
- Accounts receivable and collections teams chasing overdue invoices at scale
- Finance and controllers tightening days-sales-outstanding without adding headcount
- Bookkeepers and office managers handling AR for small businesses
- Founders and operators recovering cash without a dedicated collections function
Good to know
No external connection - your invoice data, payment history, and reminders stay in your workspace. The assistant reads each overdue account, sets the escalation stage, reads collection risk, and drafts a reminder pitched to that stage - but you review and approve every message before it's sent. It standardizes and speeds your dunning process; it doesn't contact customers on its own.
