Company Overview

We are a fast-growing SaaS company transforming how franchise systems and restoration companies manage accounts receivable and collections.

We help multi-location operators and franchise organizations:

  • Accelerate cash flow
  • Reduce 60 90 and 120 day AR aging
  • Automate collections workflows
  • Standardize follow-up across every location
  • Give leadership real-time visibility into company-wide AR performance

Most restoration companies and franchise operators still manage collections manually through spreadsheets disconnected systems phone calls and inconsistent follow-up processes. The result is slow collections poor visibility operational inefficiency and millions of dollars trapped in accounts receivable.

Our platform solves that problem by combining automated collections workflows integrated payment systems centralized reporting and real-time visibility into receivables performance across an entire organization.

The market demand is real and the pain point is massive; customers are actively paying for the product today. We are already working with restoration companies franchise operators and multi-location businesses that rely on our platform to improve cash flow and operational efficiency.

This is an opportunity to help build the revenue engine at an early-stage company with a real product a proven market problem and significant growth potential.

We are not looking for someone to manage an existing machine; we are looking for someone to help build it.
