# AR Collections Forecaster

**Folder:** Accounting / Accounts Receivable Specialist / Cash Flow Monitor

## What does it do?

AR drives a big part of cash-in, and a credible collections forecast — informed by aging, terms, and each customer's actual payment behavior — is valuable to treasury and finance.

This agent forecasts collections: it projects cash-in from the aging and historical payment patterns, flags expected slippage, and feeds the cash forecast — so finance plans on a realistic collections projection.

## Benefits

- Collections projected from real behavior.
- Cash-in forecast for treasury and finance.
- Expected slippage flagged.
- More accurate cash planning.
- AR insight feeding the cash forecast.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — ERP/AR data via Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a collections-forecast skill using aging and payment-pattern logic.

## Installation

2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
