The Advisor's Recovery Playbook
Debt Collection Software for Fractional CFOs: A Working-Capital Win in Your First 90 Days
17 October 2026 · 6 min read · For Accountants, bookkeepers, advisors, fractional CFOs and CEOs
A fractional CFO is judged on visible improvement, quickly. Receivables are usually the least contested place to find it, and debt collection software is the mechanism that makes the improvement stick after your days reduce.
Days 1-30: diagnose
- Baseline DSO, aged buckets, dispute rate and debtor concentration
- Map who currently chases and with what cadence
- Review trading terms and credit approval practice
Days 31-60: implement
Clean the ledger, define the follow-up sequence, set conduct rules and escalation authority, then roll debt collection software out on one arrears bucket before widening.
Days 61-90: prove and hand over
Report the same baseline metrics against the new trend, document the process, and make sure the cadence runs without you. Anything dependent on your presence will lapse within a month of your last day.
Where Chasyr fits
Chasyr's escalation model gives a part-time CFO something rare: a process that keeps negotiating competently on the days they are not in the business.
Ninety days is enough to move DSO if the follow-up is systematic. Debt collection software is what keeps it systematic after you step back.
