How AB&B CRE Cut Weekly Cash Reporting from 8 Hours to 10 Minutes with Arpari

Before Arpari, cash visibility at AB&B CRE was built on manual effort. Each week, the accounting team spent several days pulling balances across accounts at half a dozen banks — assembling the cash analysis report by hand before every check run, without exception.  

The process wasn't just slow — it was fragile. Multiple individual bank portals to log into, account-by-account data to gather, and no single view of the organization's cash position. If something looked off, finding out meant more manual work. Over the course of a year, those hours added up to hundreds of working hours spent on what is now a 10-minute task.

The Solution: Automated Reporting and Centralized Visibility

AB&B CRE implemented Arpari to automate its weekly balance reporting and replace the patchwork of portal logins with a single, unified platform across its six banks. Automated reports now surface account data on schedule — delivering the same visibility that used to take days, in minutes.  

Arpari's monitoring capabilities give the team an added layer of oversight, flagging low balances and large transactions across accounts so the team stays informed without having to check each portal manually.

The Impact: Minutes, Not Days

The numbers tell the story: reporting that used to take roughly 8 hours a week now takes about 10 minutes — 90% faster. Over a full year, that adds up to hundreds of hours returned to the team.

‍“Arpari presents data in an efficient one-stop shop.”

That efficiency rippled through how the team operates. With automated balance reports handling what once required manual effort across the accounting team, individual accountants now manage their own properties' cash flow directly.

‍“The Accounting Manager role has  evolved significantly with the help of cash balances – now the accountants handle their own properties’ cash flow.”

Arpari's monitoring has also proven its worth in a live situation. A low-balance flag gave the team time to make a transfer before an account was affected — a catch that would have been much harder to make under the old process.  

For Kathy, the day-to-day shift is just as tangible. Rather than logging into the individual bank portals to piece together a view of cash, she goes to Arpari first.

‍“I use Arpari more than the individual bank portals – one place is easier.”

Each bank delivered data differently — some through files, some through secure transfers, some only manually — making it nearly impossible to maintain a consistent internal reporting process. The result was a growing amount of manual work that still left the team without a complete view of their liquidity.

What's Next

AB&B CRE is now furthering their automation to speed up month-end close — with automated statement collection and positive pay on the roadmap.
