AR reporting that's never a day old

Paystand’s Reporting Agent answers AR and cash questions in seconds, from live payments.

Finance teams have connected their ERPs, added dashboards, and started asking AI for answers.

The data underneath those tools often hasn't caught up.

Most AR reporting still starts with an export. Someone pulls aging data from the ERP, cross-references it with bank activity, and runs the math in a spreadsheet. Payments that settled this morning wait for the next file. A best-case report takes a couple of hours, and it's a day old by the time the CFO reads it.

That lag shows up in places that look unrelated.

A forecast miss looks like a payer problem.

A late collections call looks like a team problem.

A slow answer to the CFO looks like a reporting problem.

Often the cause is the same: the numbers were built from yesterday's data.

This guide shows how Paystand's Reporting Agent closes that gap. It reads payments as they come through, next to the receivables synced from your ERP, and answers plain-language questions in seconds.

Inside, you'll find the three key questions it answers, what changes for each seat in finance, and how it connects to different ERPs.
