AI invoice collection for consulting businesses
Consultants routinely deliver high-value engagements and then wait 60 days for payment while clients deprioritize the invoice. Syntharra automates the follow-up and charges 10% of what is recovered.
Consulting invoices have a particular late-payment profile: the engagement is complete, the client is happy with the output, and yet the invoice sits unpaid because internal approval processes are slow and follow-up is awkward. Most consultants avoid pushing too hard for payment because they value the client relationship. Syntharra removes the awkwardness entirely — a compliant AI agent calls on your behalf, references the exact invoice, and collects payment or escalates disputes to your dashboard. You maintain the relationship; Syntharra handles the collection. The call is disclosed as AI, the process is TCPA-compliant, and payment routes directly to your Stripe account.

No more awkward chasing
An AI agent calls on your behalf so the collection conversation never strains your client relationship. You focus on delivery; Syntharra focuses on payment.
Day-3 follow-up beats day-45

10% success fee, zero monthly cost

Frequently asked questions
How does Syntharra work for consulting invoice collection?
Syntharra connects to your QuickBooks Online or Xero account via OAuth, monitors your invoices, and calls overdue clients on day 3 past due. The AI agent references the invoice number and amount, offers a Stripe payment link via SMS, and logs every outcome.
Will AI follow-up damage my consulting client relationships?
In practice, professional clients respond positively to a clear, timely follow-up. The call is disclosed as AI, the tone is polite and direct, and it signals that your business takes payment seriously — which most clients respect.
Do consultants have high overdue invoice rates?
Yes. Consulting invoices often require internal approval before payment, creating structural delays. The average Days Sales Outstanding for consulting businesses is 45–65 days on net-30 terms.
Can Syntharra handle high-value consulting invoices?
Yes. Syntharra handles invoices of any size. For invoices over $10,000, the 10% success fee (e.g., $1,000 on a $10,000 invoice) should be weighed against the cost of manual follow-up or an attorney's retainer.
What happens if a client disputes a consulting invoice?
Syntharra logs the dispute and escalates it to your dashboard immediately. The AI agent does not attempt to resolve contract disputes — those are flagged for human review right away.
