Accounts receivable & billing · Hotels & hospitality
Collect the corporate ledger on time.
Corporate and group folios route to the city ledger, get billed, then sit — disputed over a resort fee or routing error. Aging buckets stretch past sixty days.
The reality
AR ages because nobody chases the folio.
Direct-bill accounts hit the city ledger and an invoice goes out, but a corporate client kicks back the charges they don't recognize — a duplicated room night, an authorized-only incidental, a tax that shouldn't apply — and the dispute stalls collection. Without someone pulling the folio and the night-audit backup, the receivable just ages while the aging report grows.
The operator owns the AR desk end to end. It bills corporate and group accounts off the ledger, works disputes by pulling the folio and the supporting backup, corrects and reissues where the account is right, and drives collections through the aging buckets — so receivables get collected instead of forgotten.
