With higher rates and tighter liquidity, cash conversion now drives portfolio value. Yet most firms overlook a major lever already sitting on the balance sheet—Accounts Receivable.
At The Credit Department, Inc. (TCD), we help PE-backed companies unlock cash in 6–12 weeks by accelerating collections, eliminating revenue leakage, and improving credit risk visibility—without adding headcount.
In a recent session hosted with The Hackett Group and Pace Analytical, we shared how one mid-market portfolio company delivered a 25% cash flow improvement during 26 acquisitions by applying strategic AR optimization—not just more automation.
Portfolio impact:
- Faster cash recovery → stronger EBITDA
- Gain real-time visibility into credit risk and exposure across all customers lines.
- Leverage A/R automation, A/R expertise and AI strategies to increase cash flow
