Accounts Receivable: One of the biggest challenges every organization faces is streamlining collections management. The problem starts with invoice delivery. Invoices are delivered to customers late, and this causes a ripple effect leading to decreased liquidity. Denali Accounting streamlines the processes that make up the receivables function. It automates the invoice generation activity through digital invoices, calculates taxes accurately, defines the credit terms, offers multiple payment options in the invoices, and calculates taxes accurately. Above all, it provides complete visibility over the entire AR process, enabling the accounts team to know the real-time inputs on customer-aging, outstanding payments, and other key financial information.

Accounts Payable: Making delayed payments attracts late payment penalties, and in some cases, you also let go of the early payment discounts offered by suppliers or vendors. With Denali Accounting, this can be a thing of the past.
