AI TRAINING
AI for Invoicing and Accounts-Receivable Workflows
Automate dunning, payment chasing, and reconciliation using AI tools that connect to your existing accounting software.
What it covers
This hands-on workshop teaches finance admins and owner-operators how to apply AI to the full accounts-receivable cycle: drafting dunning sequences, extracting payment intent from incoming emails, setting up reminder cadences, and generating reconciliation prompts. Participants work directly with tools that integrate with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. By the end, attendees leave with ready-to-deploy templates and workflows tailored to their own invoice data.
What you'll be able to do
- Write AI prompts that generate a multi-stage dunning email sequence appropriate to invoice age and customer history
- Configure a rule-based reminder cadence that escalates tone automatically based on days overdue
- Use AI to scan inbound emails and extract payment intent, dispute flags, or promise-to-pay signals
- Build a reconciliation prompt that surfaces unmatched transactions and suggests corrections within your accounting tool
- Assess AI-generated financial communications for tone, accuracy, and compliance before sending
Topics covered
- AI-drafted dunning email sequences by payment stage
- Extracting payment intent and dispute signals from inbound emails
- Designing automated reminder cadences with escalation logic
- Reconciliation prompts and exception flagging using AI
- Integrating AI tools with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage
- Prompt templates for accounts-receivable use cases
- Evaluating AI output accuracy before sending to customers
Delivery
Delivered as a single in-person or live-virtual day workshop. Approximately 60% hands-on exercises using participants' own (or anonymised sample) invoice data. Each attendee receives a prompt template pack, a reminder-cadence configuration guide, and an integration checklist for Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. A short follow-up Q&A call (30 min) at day 30 is recommended to address real-world adoption questions.
What makes it work
- Start with one invoice segment (e.g. 30-day overdue) before rolling out full cadence automation
- Designate one team member as prompt owner who maintains and iterates the template library
- Build a short human-review step into every AI-drafted outbound communication for the first 90 days
- Connect the AI tool directly to live accounting data so prompts have accurate invoice amounts and due dates
Common mistakes
- Sending AI-drafted dunning emails without human review, risking tone mismatches that damage customer relationships
- Treating AI reconciliation suggestions as final without cross-checking against source documents
- Attempting to automate reminders before cleaning up inconsistent contact data in the accounting system
- Adopting a generic email AI tool that cannot read accounting system context, producing irrelevant drafts
When NOT to take this
This workshop is not the right fit if the business has fewer than 20 active invoices per month — at that volume, manual follow-up is faster and AI setup overhead outweighs the time saved.
