Why Cortex Ledger

Built for the problems other systems leave to spreadsheets.

Seven problems we hear from every growing finance team, and what Cortex Ledger does about each one.

  1. Revenue leakage

    Work is delivered but never billed, and agreed prices are not applied.

    With Cortex Ledger

    Revenue assurance finds what was delivered but not invoiced, works out why, and tracks the recovery to cash.

  2. Late cash

    Nobody has a clear view of who to chase today, or why.

    With Cortex Ledger

    A ranked collections queue says who to call and why, and the cash forecast shows when money should land.

  3. Disconnected purchasing

    Orders, receipts and bills do not match, and nobody sees it until payment.

    With Cortex Ledger

    Three-way matching checks every bill against the order and the receipt, and holds what does not fit.

  4. Slow month-end

    Reconciliations are done by hand, in spreadsheets, every month.

    With Cortex Ledger

    Ledger reconciliation and the close workbench show what agrees, what does not, and what is still open.

  5. Untrusted numbers

    Figures cannot be traced back to where they came from.

    With Cortex Ledger

    Every figure ties to the ledger, and the dashboard says what the numbers mean in plain words.

  6. Risky access

    One person can create and approve the same payment.

    With Cortex Ledger

    17 job roles, separation of duties and a full audit log of who did what and when.

  7. Knowledge in people's heads

    How each customer is billed and collected leaves when the person does.

    With Cortex Ledger

    Revenue memory keeps arrangements, exceptions and how disputes were settled – and Cortex can answer from your books.
