Intelligent collections follows up on every overdue invoice with context-aware outreach that reads replies, adjusts tone per customer relationship, and resolves 90% of invoices without human intervention.

Monk applies frontier language models to the parts of accounting that break down at scale: matching payments to invoices, reading customer replies, and acting on what they say. Cash application uses a three-layer match (your rules, deterministic code, and model reasoning) to handle blank wire memos, partial payments, and multi-invoice remittances at an 80% match rate rising to 95%. Intelligent collections reads inbound emails, detects payment commitments and disputes, and responds with context, not templates, resolving 90% of invoices without human intervention. Cash forecasting weights each invoice by real payment behavior, not just net terms, and adjusts live as promises and disputes come in. A deterministic layer checks every action before it reaches a customer, and every decision is logged in a full audit trail.

Dispute tracking captures every case with dollar impact, reason code, and full context.

Monk automates invoice processing from creation through collection and reconciliation. Connect your billing system (Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce) or ERP (QuickBooks, NetSuite) and Monk generates invoices from contract terms, deal data, or subscription schedules. Invoices are sent from your own domain with your signature. For customers requiring portal submission, Monk uploads invoices into 600+ AP portals automatically, fills all required fields, attaches the invoice, and leaves contextual comments. Portal status is checked daily; only real exceptions (wrong PO, amount discrepancy) reach your team. When invoices go unpaid, intelligent collections follows up with 24% higher response rates than standard dunning. Incoming payments are matched automatically. Every invoice carries a full audit trail from creation through payment.

Monk handles the full lifecycle of B2B payments from invoice delivery through collection and reconciliation. Every invoice carries a secure, one-click payment link with no portal login required.

For enterprise accounts paying through AP portals, Monk submits invoices into 600+ portals including Coupa, Ariba, Bill.com, and Tipalti, then checks status daily and surfaces only the exceptions.

Auto-pay enrollment lets customers save a payment method and get charged automatically.

Monk turns signed contracts and closed deals into invoices automatically. Connect Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, or DocuSign, and Monk extracts billing terms, generates invoices on schedule (monthly, quarterly, annual), and sends them from your own domain. Line items, discounts, taxes (via Anrok), and fees all come through correctly. For recurring revenue, Monk handles subscription billing with auto-pay enrollment so customers can save a payment method and get charged on schedule. When invoices go unpaid, intelligent collections takes over with follow-up that references conversation history and customer context, not a fixed template. Monk also submits invoices into 600+ AP portals like Coupa and Ariba, removing the most manual step in enterprise billing. Cash application closes the loop by matching payments to invoices the same day. Real-time dashboards show billed vs. collected, aging, and DSO.

Monk is not a third-party debt collector. It is an in-house AR automation platform that helps your finance team follow up on every overdue invoice professionally and persistently, without adding headcount. Intelligent collections reads inbound replies, detects payment commitments, handles common objections, and adjusts tone by customer segment so enterprise accounts are never chased like a $50 overdue. When a customer disputes an invoice, Monk routes it as a tracked case with full context. When a contact bounces, Monk automatically rotates to the next valid contact. 90% of invoices are resolved without escalation. Your team configures playbooks, escalation rules, and exclusion criteria directly. Monk works across email, Slack, and voice, with every touchpoint logged in one audit trail.

When a Stripe charge fails, Monk detects the failure, notifies the customer with a clear explanation and a one-click payment link, and tracks the recovery. For auto-pay customers, Monk disables the failed method and guides the customer to update their payment details. For invoiced customers, intelligent collections follows up with context-aware outreach referencing the specific invoice and what went wrong. Monk handles ACH rejects, expired cards, and insufficient-funds declines across Stripe and bank payments. Every recovery attempt is logged with status, timestamps, and outcome. Monk also applies recovered payments to the correct invoice automatically, so your aging report stays accurate and you stop chasing customers who already paid. Integrates natively with Stripe, Plaid, Mercury, and 12,000+ bank accounts via Plaid.

Monk automates the entire invoice-to-cash cycle: generate invoices from contracts or CRM deals, send them from your domain, submit to 600+ AP portals, follow up intelligently when they go overdue, match payments when they land, and sync everything back to your ERP. Intelligent collections resolves 90% of invoices without escalation by reading replies, detecting payment commitments, and adjusting tone per customer relationship. Cash application handles partial pays, overpayments, and multi-invoice remittances. Real-time reporting covers aging, DSO, collections performance, and cash forecast. Your team configures playbooks, escalation rules, and matching logic directly, no vendor support ticket required.
