Atraso em Liquidação de Faturas (AR Dias) devido a Verificação Manual de Conformidade Fiscal

1 verified sources

Definition

Manual AR processes require fiscal coordinators to verify NF-e acceptance status (SEFAZ may reject up to 72 hours after issuance), validate ICMS coding, and reconcile usage amounts with customer contracts. In high-volume usage-based billing (50–200 invoices/month per customer), this verification takes 20–40 hours/month. Average payment delay: 15–20 additional days vs. automated workflows.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: R$ 2,000,000–10,000,000 tied up in extended DSO (assuming avg. monthly revenue R$ 5M–25M). Opportunity cost: 10% annual interest rate = R$ 200,000–1,000,000 in lost investment returns.
  • Frequency: Ongoing; every invoice cycle (monthly)
  • Root Cause: Lack of real-time SEFAZ integration and automated compliance status notification; manual reconciliation between usage data and invoice amounts.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Brazilian SaaS companies waste R$ 2,000,000–10,000,000 in working capital annually due to manual invoice verification delays. Automated SEFAZ status checks and compliance pre-validation reduce DSO by 15–20 days, freeing R$ 1,000,000+ in cash.
