Why Receivables Speed Matters
Cash is king
A sale is not cash until it is paid. The longer money sits in receivables, the less you have for payroll, inventory, and taxes.
Spot slow payers
Track DSO over time. A creeping average means a few large customers are stretching terms — address it before it becomes a cash crisis.
Tighten terms
Shorter payment terms, deposits up front, and polite automated reminders recover cash faster without hurting relationships.
Plan the gap

AR Turnover FAQs
It is how many times per year your business collects its average accounts receivable. A higher ratio means you collect faster. It equals net credit sales divided by average accounts receivable.
It depends on your industry and terms. Many small B2B businesses target collecting within 30–45 days (a DSO in that range). A falling ratio or rising DSO usually signals customers are paying more slowly.
Invoice promptly, set clear payment terms, follow up before and after the due date, offer convenient payment options, and consider an early-payment discount. Faster collection directly improves cash flow.
Receivables are cash you have earned but not yet received. Slow collections are the top cause of small-business cash crunches. Pair this with our Cash Flow Calculator to see the full picture.
