How it works.

River reads your books and each client’s emails, writes every late payer a reminder that fits how late it is, and keeps checking until the money lands.

Say who to go easy on
A dispute, a friend, a promised date. River spots them in your email and suggests them first.
River writes each reminder
A short reply in the client’s thread with the pay link; at 45 days, a statement to accounts payable.
Paid invoices drop off
Every Monday River checks your books, marks what’s paid and brings the next reminders for one yes.

What you get.

A Receivables Sheet of every overdue invoice, oldest first, with the total owed on top
A reminder to each client from your own email, in the thread you already have
A weekly check that stops the chasing the day each payment lands

A few things to know.

Where does it find my invoices?

In your accounting app, connected or open in your browser. Then it reads each client’s emails for promised dates, disputes, PO numbers and the right person in accounts payable.

Will it annoy my clients?

Reminders start friendly, with the invoice link, and get firmer only as an invoice ages. A client in a dispute can be skipped entirely, and a friend can get the gentlest note of all.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. It works with the QuickBooks, Stripe, FreshBooks or Xero account you already invoice from.
