Xero and Chaser: A Powerful Partnership for Efficient Cash Flow Management
Effective cash flow management is crucial for businesses of all sizes, and using the right tools can make all the difference. One of the most robust solutions for managing cash flow is a combination of Xero, a leading cloud-based accounting software, and Chaser, an automated credit control platform. Together, they streamline financial operations, helping businesses stay on top of their finances, reduce overdue payments, and ensure a steady cash flow.
Why Cash Flow Management Matters
For businesses, cash flow isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about growth, sustainability, and operational efficiency. A company can be profitable on paper but still run into serious trouble if cash flow isn’t managed properly. From paying suppliers to meeting payroll demands, without enough cash in hand, operations can grind to a halt.
That’s where Xero and Chaser come in. By working seamlessly together, they automate many of the time-consuming manual tasks involved in cash flow management, ensuring you get paid on time and maintain control over your finances.

Chaser: Automating Credit Control
Managing overdue invoices can often feel like a thankless and time-consuming task. However, Chaser integrates seamlessly with Xero to provide an automated credit control system. It helps businesses reduce their Accounts Receivable (AR) by chasing overdue invoices automatically, sending reminders, and even following up with late payers without manual intervention.
The key benefits of Chaser include:
