What does Clear Cycle Advisors do?
We help Finance and Operations teams uncover inefficiencies in their Order-to-Cash (O2C) processes and build scalable, future-ready solutions. From billing and collections to cash application and reporting, we provide advisory support to reduce delays, eliminate manual work, and improve visibility and control across the O2C cycle.

What types of companies do you typically work with?
We work with all sized businesses and high-growth organizations—particularly those experiencing scale challenges, system limitations, or resource constraints in their Finance operations. We’ve also advised larger enterprises on process optimization, system transitions, and operating model redesign.

How do you help us identify problems in our current O2C process?
Our O2C Health Check is often the first step. It’s a structured diagnostic that assesses current-state performance, identifies root causes of cash flow leakage or process friction, and uncovers opportunities to improve speed, accuracy, and scalability.

What makes your approach different from traditional consultants or software vendors?
We don’t sell software or push boilerplate solutions. With decades of real-world experience leading global O2C and Finance teams, we bring practitioner insight, independent perspective, and actionable guidance—tailored to your business model, systems, and goals.

Do you implement solutions or just advise?
While we specialize in advisory, we also offer Fractional O2C Leadership to help drive execution from within. That includes implementation support, team upskilling, vendor evaluation, or even interim leadership—ensuring sustainable, real-world outcomes.

What areas of the Order-to-Cash process do you cover?
We support the full O2C cycle, including:
• Customer onboarding and credit risk
• Order management and billing accuracy
• Collections strategy and dispute resolution
• Cash application and unapplied cash
• Reporting, KPIs, and controls
• O2C organizational design and vendor strategy

How long does a typical engagement last?
It depends on your needs. A focused health check or strategy engagement may take 2–4 weeks, while longer-term advisory or fractional leadership roles may span 3–6 months. We're flexible and tailor our approach to your timeline.

Do you work with companies that already have an O2C team or BPO?
Yes. Whether you have an in-house team, a BPO partner, or a hybrid model, we help you optimize what’s already in place—improving BPO oversight, clarifying roles, and enhancing performance metrics.

What are some signs we might need O2C advisory support?
• Invoices are late or error-prone
• Collections are inconsistent or reactive
• Manual follow-ups drain team resources
• Cash application is slow or inaccurate
• Customers complain about billing delays
• Finance lacks cash flow visibility
