About Anca

Two worlds. One discipline.

Anca Stephens

I have spent 20+ years inside the credit and revenue cycles companies struggle to fix: building the frameworks, leading the teams, and delivering the cash results across EMEA, the Americas and Asia.

I've led credit organisations of up to 25 people, served as SAP S/4 Key User for credit risk, and built Shared Service Centre operations across India and Eastern Europe. I am a Certified FinTech AI Professional (CFAIP). The finance world raised me, the AI world sharpened me.

I work with growth-stage FinTechs, banks and corporates, remotely worldwide, on-site when it adds value.

“The queue is where organizations store their unmade decisions. I spent a career inside those queues. Then I built the way out.”

How I can help

Three ways to work with me

01

O2C & Credit Diagnostic

Ten days inside your order-to-cash reality: where the cash hides, which approvals never change an outcome, and a map of the first moves forward.

Fixed fee
02

Fractional Credit / Revenue Lead

Senior credit leadership without the headcount. Governance, escalation paths, forward-looking reporting: installed, not presented.

Monthly retainer · remote
03

O2C / L2C Transformation

Workflow redesign, not task automation. The decision rights move. That is where the 80% comes from.

Project-based
Nexus Collections

The Collection Prioritisation Engine

Collection Prioritisation Engine: AI-powered, data-driven, action-ready

Most collections automation renames the queue. This one deletes it.

200 hours: one analyst, 25 accounts, one monthly review cycle. I ran that cycle for 20 years. 40 hours: the same cycle, after I rebuilt the Decision, not the tasks around it.

AI ranks the portfolio. A 360° risk view explains why, in CFO language. The execution layer acts: routes, escalates, proposes the payment plan. Built by a practitioner, not a vendor.
