Working Capital Allocation

Bridge the net-30 to net-90 cash gap with up to 100% payroll financing.

Contractors demand weekly or bi-weekly pay, but your clients take months to clear invoices. Ascen provides immediate working capital to fully cover wages, taxes, and other obligations without tapping into your cash reserves.

  • Funding availability for gross wages, benefits, and employer taxes
  • Predictable, reliable capital deployed every single week
  • Zero upfront capital required to launch or expand new assignments

Embedded Capital Control

Manage your funding lines and contractor outlays under your own EIN.

Avoid clunky, disconnected factoring arrangements. Ascen embeds your funding line directly within your operational workflow. You retain your brand identity and your own EIN, while our system automatically calculates and offsets funding against timesheet values.

  • Clean, white-label dashboard for managing outstanding liabilities
  • No need to contract with a separate, rigid third-party payroll lender
  • Funding balances sync automatically with timesheets and gross pay data
  • Complete control over your cash cycles and operational margins

A/R and Collections Sync

Automate client billing and seamlessly tie invoice data to your funding line.

Disconnected invoicing creates severe reconciliation headaches. Ascen’s funding is built straight into the billing mechanism. Once timesheets are approved, invoices are auto-generated, sent to clients, and mapped directly back to clear your funded positions.

  • Direct transaction-level syncing between funded payroll and final invoices
  • Professional, automated client payment reminders that safeguard relationships
  • Automated collection clearing that handles incoming A/R securely
  • Native integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Microsoft

It's So Good, I Don't Think About It.
