Frequently Asked Questions

How much does accounts receivable automation cost for cpa firms?
For CPA firms, AR automation projects typically range from $3,500 for basic reminder sequences to $15,000 for comprehensive integrations. The cost depends on factors like your client volume, existing accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero), and the desired level of integration with your CRM or project management tools.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
No, Byzantium AI charges a one time fixed fee for the initial build and deployment of your AR automation system. Any ongoing costs are limited to your existing software subscriptions, such as payment processors or accounting platforms, and any optional future enhancements you might request.
What is included in the free systems audit?
During the free systems audit, we thoroughly map your firm's current AR process, from initial invoice generation to client payment reconciliation. We identify specific bottlenecks, manual follow up tasks, and opportunities to integrate tools like Karbon or directly with your payment gateways, providing a clear automation roadmap.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
Most CPA firms achieve full ROI within 3-6 months, primarily by eliminating hours spent on manual invoice follow up and reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). Automating reminder emails and overdue notices allows your team to focus on higher value client work, directly improving cash flow.
