We built this for the Friday cash check.

We spent years running cash for other people's companies.

Same pattern in every one of them. The books were clean, the P and L looked fine, and then a Friday arrived where payroll was close. Nobody was hiding anything. The information just sat in the ledger until it was too late to do anything except call the bank or call a customer and beg.

• The problem was never the accountingIt was that the accounting looks backward, and cash is a question about next week.
• The tools showed the holeNone of them collected a dollar. You still had to go work the phone yourself.
• So we built the other halfSee the week early, then work it. The invoices to chase and the bills to time, in the same place.

Arclite exists to make finance departments more powerful and less expensive, starting with the one thing every decision runs through: cash.

Arclite integrates directly with QuickBooks Online and writes back only what you approve. Here is what Arclite does, and it is $50 a month, 7-day trial if you would rather just try it.

• The forecast has to be realIf the numbers are built on due dates nobody honors, nobody acts on them. We time cash to how your customers actually pay, because a forecast you argue with is a forecast you ignore.
• Nothing moves money without a humanArclite drafts, ranks and warns. You approve. Nothing sends and nothing pays on its own, and we are not going to change that to look clever.
• You should not need a finance teamA small business should be able to know its own cash without hiring somebody to produce it in a spreadsheet every Friday.
• Say the number out loudOur price is on the pricing page. What we read out of QuickBooks is on the security page. If we cannot say it plainly, we should not be selling it.

• Owner-operators on QuickBooks OnlineThe owner still signs the checks. The bookkeeper is in a day or two a week. Nobody's whole job is cash.
• Businesses that wait to get paidContractors, carriers, staffing firms. Money goes out weekly, comes back in 30 to 60 days, and the gap is the whole problem.
• Advisors running other people's cashFractional CFOs, CPAs and bookkeepers who need the same thirteen weeks across a whole client book, under their own name.
