Growfin Unveils Industry-First DSO Benchmark Reports & Calculator to Help CFOs Turn Receivables into a Strategic Growth Lever

WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Growfin, the leading AI-native accounts receivable automation platform, today announced the launch of its 2025 Receivables Benchmark Dashboards and Interactive Day Sales Outstanding (DSO) Calculator. This is a first-of-its-kind initiative to empower finance leaders with the data intelligence needed to transform working capital into a growth catalyst; across multiple industries.

At a time when global markets remain volatile and liquidity management is under intense scrutiny, Growfin's category-defining benchmarks deliver clarity, precision, and actionable insights. Drawing on deep research and analysis across 1,948 publicly listed U.S. B2B companies, segmented by industry and revenue bands, the report equips CFOs and finance teams to:

• Benchmark their DSO performance with statistical rigor
• Uncover how much working capital is locked in unrecovered receivables
• Build a compelling business case for AR automation investments

Paired with the interactive Cash Release Calculator, the immersive experience allows companies to simulate the impact of reaching median or top-quartile performance - or even an ambitious 33% DSO reduction - on cash flow, working capital gains, interest savings, and growth reinvestment potential.

"In today's uncertain macroeconomic environment, cash efficiency is not optional. It's existential", said Aravind Gopalan, Co-founder and CEO at Growfin. "We've built this benchmarks engine to help CFOs quantify opportunity, unlock liquidity, and reframe AR from a back-office cost center to a strategic growth lever."

"The segmentation by revenue bands is incredibly useful and allows CFOs to benchmark performance with precision while the statistical analysis builds credibility", elaborated Sarah McCauley, Founder of Effitech Solutions and former Senior Director of Billing and AR at Gitlab. "The operational challenges outlined are spot-on and reflect what most AR teams are struggling with today."

Across 11 major sectors, the benchmarks dashboard reveals significant potential for unlocking working capital. For instance, in:

• Industrial & Manufacturing: A 31-day DSO delta = $8.6M in liquidity per $100M revenue
• Healthcare & Life Sciences: A 36-day variance = $9.9M in working capital unlocked
• Banking & Financial Services: A 52-day spread = $14.2M in cash opportunity

This is part of Growfin's larger mission: to pioneer the future of AI-first AR by arming finance leaders with real-time insights, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation to make smarter, faster, and more strategic decisions that impact their cash flow.

"O2C leaders often face fragmented, one-size-fits-all benchmarks that fail to reflect the nuances of their working capital cycles. As finance functions continue to pursue data-driven improvements, contextualized tools are becoming critical to support more informed performance planning and decision-making," said Vignesh Kannan, Vice President, Everest Group. "Growfin's DSO Benchmarks and Calculator aims to address this need by enabling users to view metrics across the cash cycle - such as DSO, DIO, and DPO - based on industry characteristics and organizational sizes. By connecting these metrics to broader business levers such as interest rate sensitivity, liquidity optimization, and capital expenditure flexibility, the tool serves as both a benchmarking and self-assessment resource."

"CFOs need more than dashboards. They need foresight," added Raja Jayaraman, Co-founder and CTO at Growfin. "Our DSO Benchmarks Report and Cash Release Calculator are designed to help them move from reactive management to proactive leadership."
