Collections agent Bookkeeping AI + CFO (Scale)Just the software
Collections agent

An agent with one job: getting you paid.

Most late invoices aren't disputes. Nobody followed up. The agent follows up on every one, on time, every time, and tells you the moment a customer needs a call from you.

  1. 1
    Spots it. An invoice passes its due date. The agent reads the customer's history: always late, or out of character?
  2. 2
    Drafts it. A friendly reminder in your voice, with the invoice attached and a way to pay.
  3. 3
    You approve. One tap to send from your own email. Or set rules, like "send small reminders without asking".
  4. 4
    It keeps going. Follow-ups on your schedule. Promises to pay go in the cash forecast. Anything tricky comes back to you.
Never adds fees or threatens Never changes your books Stops the moment you say so

FAQ

What can Tilo help me with?

Knowing where your money goes and where it's heading. Tilo flags issues with a dollar figure, forecasts cash 13 weeks out, writes a monthly CFO report, explains 20 ratios and builds a lender package. If you'd like the work done for you too, we offer a collections agent, bookkeeping, and Scale with a CFO; see Pricing.

How do I get started?

Name your business, create an account, then connect QuickBooks or Xero, upload a spreadsheet, or answer 10 quick questions. You see your results before you add a card.

Do I need to change my existing systems?

No. The Tilo app only reads your books. It never posts, edits or deletes anything, moves money, or files anything. If you choose our Bookkeeping or Scale plan, our bookkeepers keep the books for you.

What does my accountant still handle?

Your taxes, and your books unless you hand those to us on the Bookkeeping plan. Tilo reads the books and turns them into answers, warnings and a forecast. Invite your accountant free, so your meetings start with the answers.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Connected books import the last 24 months, usually in a minute or two, then refresh every day.

What does Tilo cost?

The Tilo app is $799 a month per company, after a 7-day free trial. If you want us to do more of the work, the collections agent is $349 a month, bookkeeping starts at $499 a month and Scale is $1,500 to $5,000 a month; see the Pricing page. You see a first look at your own results before you add a card, and you can cancel anytime in Settings. Your team and your accountant join free. Accountants and advisors with 5 or more client companies can ask about partner pricing.

Can Tilo help me find funding?

Yes. The Funding page shows your debt service coverage today and with the loan you want, the largest loan your earnings support, and builds a lender package from your books. Download it as a PDF and an Excel file, or send your lender a private link that expires after 30 days. Tilo doesn't lend money or make introductions for a fee.

What if my books are messy?

Most are. Tilo tells you how much spending it couldn't place, and uncategorized spending is often a finding in its own right. If you'd rather not fix them yourself, our Bookkeeping plan starts with a one-time catch-up.

Am I too small for Tilo?

If you keep books and have customers and suppliers to track, Tilo has something to work with. It works best with at least a year of history; with only a few months, trends and the forecast are rougher, and Tilo says so.

Is this tax or investment advice?

No. Tilo gives analysis of your own numbers. Your accountant still handles your taxes, and lenders set their own requirements.

Who is behind Tilo?

Tilo is made by Nori Cap, founded by a former Wall Street M&A banker and private equity investor. Questions go straight to pa@noricap.com.

Is my data safe?

Only you and the people you invite can see it. Each company's data is kept separate, connection keys are encrypted, and we never sell or share your data. Tilo isn't independently certified yet.
