For many finance teams, payment delays happen because billing queries sit unanswered, follow-ups are missed, and collections conversations are still managed manually.
Here is how Paraglide automates these high-volume billing and collections conversations directly from the finance inbox with AI agents to help businesses get paid on time.
What should good accounts receivable performance look like in 2026?
Many finance teams measure collections activity, but far fewer have a clear benchmark for the wider operations that shape AR.
We are running a short survey to build a benchmark report on accounts receivable performance in 2026; If you lead finance operations, AR, collections, or credit control, we’d really value your input.
It’s anonymous and takes less than 2 minutes.

The UK government just announced the biggest crackdown on late payments in over 25 years.
Here's what you need to know:
1. A hard 60-day cap on payment terms for large firms paying smaller suppliers. No more screwing over small suppliers with 90- or 120-day payment terms.
2. Mandatory interest on late payments: 8% above the Bank of England base rate.
3. The Small Business Commissioner now has the power to investigate and issue multi-million pound fines to persistent late payers.
Why? 38 businesses close every single day because they aren't paid on time, and late payments cost the UK economy £11 billion a year.
If you work in AR, this changes your world. Payment terms are getting shorter, penalties are getting real, and the days of using your suppliers as free credit are over.
P.S. @ParaglideAI_ helps businesses get paid on time by managing end-to-end collections with AI agents. Not just payment reminders, but replies to payment reminders, follow-ups, and incoming invoice queries. It's the smartest way to get paid on time.
Btw…one of the best places to leverage AI in finance is Billings and collections.
It’s basically the support team in accounting. High volume, same stuff, time intensive
Make this newsletter’s sponsor tell you how you can do it 😎.

Where are the high-ROI AI agent use cases in finance, and why are finance leaders so far behind in adoption?
A recent poll showed that only 6% of finance leaders have actually implemented AI.
Meanwhile:
• Developers use tools like Cursor every day
• Customer support runs on AI agents handling most tickets
• Sales teams use AI for outbound prospecting
And finance? Still drowning in manual, repetitive work.
The problem? Most “AI-powered" finance tools are just legacy software with a chat bubble. But if you think that's what the AI hype is about, then you're not paying attention to what's happening with agents.
