AR Automation Software for Staffing & Recruitment Agencies | Equisettle
The average UK staffing agency runs a DSO of 45–65 days against agreed terms of 30–45 days. That 15–25 day gap is not a coincidence — it's the result of reactive collections. Reminders go out when invoices are already overdue. Disputes pause the entire invoice, not just the disputed portion. Follow-ups slip during busy periods.
The impact compounds: at £6M annual revenue, each additional day of DSO equates to roughly £16,500 in working capital tied up. Twenty extra days = £330,000 that could be funding growth, reducing borrowing costs, or sitting in a reserve account instead of a debtor ledger.

Our ML models analyze 50+ signals (payment history, invoice size, industry trends, seasonal patterns) to score every invoice's likelihood of late payment.
Multi-Channel Automation
Send personalized reminders via email, SMS, or WhatsApp based on what works best for each customer. Equisettle learns and optimizes over time.
Actionable AR Insights
Get weekly reports showing: customers to call, invoices to escalate, and predicted cash collection for the next 30-90 days. Make decisions with data, not gut feel.
Stop Leaving Cash on the Table
The average business has 6 weeks of revenue stuck in unpaid invoices. That's capital you can't use for payroll, growth, or extending runway. Equisettle recovers that cash—without hiring more staff or chasing customers.
Frequently asked questions
Does Equisettle work with FreeAgent?
Yes. Equisettle integrates natively with FreeAgent, Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. It is the only AR automation platform that supports all four major UK accounting platforms used by staffing agencies.
How does Equisettle handle timesheet disputes?
Equisettle flags disputed invoices separately so escalation continues on the undisputed portion. You can mark the full invoice or a portion as disputed, and the system pauses outreach on that amount while continuing on the rest.
Will automated chasing damage our client relationships?
No — when done correctly, it improves them. Consistent, professional reminders at defined intervals are less relationship-damaging than irregular manual chases followed by frustrated calls when an invoice hits 45 days. Most clients prefer predictability.
How quickly will DSO improve?
Most staffing agencies see measurable DSO improvement within 30 days of going live. Full reduction of 15–20 days typically takes 2–3 months as the AI model learns client payment patterns.
What accounting software does Equisettle integrate with?
FreeAgent, Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. All four major accounting platforms used by UK staffing and recruitment agencies.
