An enterprise client based in the USA, specializing in the manufacturing of engineering parts. VNC has been providing comprehensive financial operations support for the past 9 years.

Objectives and Goals

To streamline the Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) processes, improve supplier relationships, ensure timely payments, and enhance cash flow management.

Challenge

Issues Faced by the Client

The client faced significant challenges in managing their AP cycle, with inaccurate supplier outstanding balances, frequent account holds due to payment delays, and an average payable day of 45 days. Similarly, AR processes were inefficient, with delayed customer payments and an average AR day of 40 days.

Business Impact

Inefficient AP and AR processes led to strained supplier relationships, cash flow issues, and delayed financial decision-making.

Our Approach

Strategy and Planning

Our Financial Experts and Process Improvement team designed a comprehensive AP solution, including a 3-way match of invoices, approval systems, and PRNI reporting. For AR, we implemented consistent communication and monthly reconciliations to ensure accurate AR balances and also started with multiple timely and accurate reports to give them clearer view of their business position at right time.
