About Chaser | Who we are

OUR STORY

Automating accounts receivables for businesses

Chaser was established with strong determination and a simple objective - to assist enterprises worldwide in receiving prompt, efficient, and friendly payments, saving them time on manual tasks while enhancing their cash flow.

Originally launched in 2014 as a credit control application by a Finance Director who was frustrated with the manual procedures and inefficiencies in chasing payments, Chaser is currently revolutionizing the way businesses approach payments.

Typically, chasing invoices or requesting payment is viewed as a negative activity that creates discomfort, causes stress and wastes time for both the business that has not paid and the business that needs to receive payment. According to Intuit QuickBooks, businesses today spend 56.4 million hours each year chasing overdue payments manually. Additionally, in the UK alone, 50,000 small and medium-sized businesses fail each year due to late payments. It doesn't have to be this way.

Chaser believes that trust is the cornerstone of all business relationships. Therefore, our solutions and services aim to make payment chasing comfortable, effortless, and swift. We strive to instill confidence in businesses that they will receive payment for their work, no matter what.

WE CARE

We believe that people caring about people is critical to consistently delivering superlative results.

We care about the success of our customers, partners, employees and shareholders, so we aim to truly make a difference. By caring, we are emotionally committed to success and know that everything we do (or don’t do) impacts our growth. We believe in self-care, so we promote good work-life balance. We care about outcomes, so we take on tasks with determination, drive and energy. We care about our development, so we constantly look to improve ourselves and our service. We do this by cultivating our knowledge, skill and attitudes to achieve excellence. Mind-blowing performance and competitive uniqueness don’t come from a perfect strategic idea; rather, as the result of people working together in harmony towards a shared goal. And that only happens if there is a caring culture at play.

WE ARE COURAGEOUS

We know that success is achieved by taking risks and making bold decisions, so we encourage individual initiative and growth.

We believe that courage is giving people the opportunity to take risks and the freedom to fail. Failure sparks fear in many companies, but if employees are afraid to fail, they are far less likely to innovate, leading to missed opportunities. Therefore, we praise taking risks and can-do attitudes, and challenge complacency, mediocrity, and decisions that don’t make sense.

WE ARE CANDID

We exhibit honesty and integrity at all times, so we encourage being frank and not being afraid to ask questions.

We believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which drives our desire to communicate efficiently and collaborate frequently. We are transparent and direct so that people know where the company stands and where they stand. This way, they are properly empowered to make great decisions that are in the best interest of the company. For us, integrity means we do what we say we are going to do and manage expectations through ongoing communication.
