Outsource accounts receivable on NetSuite to an AR agent or to accounts receivable outsourcing companies, with what each one costs
If you run NetSuite and the receivables work has outgrown the people you have, there are four ways to outsource it. You can rent an offshore or nearshore AR specialist who logs into your account, hire a NetSuite outsourced accounting firm to run AR as part of a wider scope, send aged balances to a contingency collection agency, or put an AR agent on top of NetSuite that does the chasing and the cash matching itself. They differ less in what they promise than in three things: what they cost every month, how much NetSuite access they need, and who still has to check the work.
AccountsReceivable.ai is the fourth option. On the Growth plan it connects to NetSuite, reads every open invoice and the billing contact, checks the live balance before each message goes out, and chases each invoice by email, by text from your own Twilio number during the customer's daytime hours, and with a live AI phone call as it ages. When a payment lands, it is recorded back against the invoice in NetSuite, so the aging and the chasing agree. Growth is 799 USD a month, or 399 USD a month billed annually, with no percentage of what gets collected and no NetSuite seat to buy for a contractor.
You can see the result before you connect anything. Export your open invoices from a NetSuite saved search or the A/R Aging report as a CSV, drop it into the tool above, and you get the aging, the customers about to go late and the exact reminder each one would receive. Most NetSuite teams that look at outsourcing are not short of software. They are short of hours on Monday morning, and the oldest balances are always the ones that get skipped.

Why it works
What your team gets with outsourced AR on NetSuite
No NetSuite seat for a contractor
An outsourced specialist has to log into your account, which means a full user license. Oracle does not publish its price list, and third-party NetSuite pricing guides put a full user at roughly 129 USD a month and up. The agent connects through an integration instead, so there is no named login to buy, audit or offboard.
The chasing NetSuite does not do
NetSuite can send dunning letters by level and match bank lines to invoices on rules you configure. It does not text a customer, call them, or read the reply that says the invoice went to a closed AP inbox. The agent runs the whole sequence and logs every promise to pay, resend request and dispute against the invoice.
Cash recorded back to the ledger
When an ACH batch or a wire arrives, it is matched to the invoices it covers and written back to NetSuite, and every queued reminder checks the current balance first. Nobody gets a collection call about an invoice they paid on Monday, which is the usual failure when chasing and cash application are done by two different outsourced teams.
What it handles
Chased, collected and reconciled on autopilot
The agent syncs your invoices, chases each one across email, SMS and phone, applies incoming payments to the right invoice, reconciles your ledger, and predicts when every customer will pay.
- Connects to NetSuite on Growth: open invoices, billing contacts and live balances
- Email, then SMS from your own Twilio number in the customer's daytime hours, then a live AI phone call
- Replies logged as promises to pay, resend requests or disputes, each with a next step
- Payments matched and recorded back against the invoice in NetSuite
- No contractor login, no NetSuite user license, no offboarding when the contract ends
- Flat monthly fee, never a percentage of what gets collected
- 01 Sync Reads the open invoice, its terms and the billing contact from your ledger.
- 02 Chase Escalates from email to SMS to a live AI call as the invoice ages.
- 03 Track Logs replies, disputes and promise-to-pay dates against the invoice.
- 04 Apply Matches the incoming payment, reconciles the ledger and closes the invoice.
