Frequently Asked Questions

How much does accounts receivable automation cost for consulting firms?
Projects for consulting firms typically start at $3,500 for core automations, such as scheduled invoice generation and delivery directly from your project management system. More complex integrations, like automated payment reconciliation across multiple client accounts or custom dunning sequences, can range up to $15,000 or more, depending on your CRM and accounting software complexity.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
Byzantium AI charges a one time, fixed price for the automation build and implementation. Your firm will only incur ongoing monthly costs for any third party software subscriptions you choose to integrate, such as your accounting platform (e.g., QuickBooks Online, NetSuite) or specialized payment gateways. We do not charge ongoing maintenance fees for the automation itself.
What is included in the free systems audit?
Our free systems audit involves a deep dive into your firm's current invoicing, payment tracking, and collections processes. We map your existing workflows, identify manual bottlenecks like data entry errors or delayed follow ups, and pinpoint integration opportunities between your CRM, project management, and accounting systems. You receive a detailed report outlining specific automation opportunities and a fixed price proposal for the recommended solutions.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
Most consulting firms see a return on investment within 3-6 months, primarily through significant time savings for administrative staff no longer manually generating invoices or chasing payments. By automating tasks like sending payment reminders and linking project milestones to billing, your firm reduces payment delays and improves cash flow, allowing consultants to focus on billable client work.
