Last week Accountex London 2026 brought together more than 17,000 finance professionals, accountants, and bookkeepers at ExCeL London for two days of networking and industry insights.
Chaser joined over 300 global brands exhibiting at one of the largest accounting and finance events in Europe, with conversations across the event focused heavily on automation, AI, forecasting, operational efficiency, and improving visibility into incoming cash flow.
From packed speaker sessions to high-value conversations at stand 1020, Accountex London 2026 highlighted the growing demand for smarter and more scalable receivables processes.
Orange freebies across ExCeL London
The bright orange Chaser giveaways quickly became a familiar sight across the exhibition hall throughout both days of the event.
Attendees visiting the stand picked up lip balms, notebooks, umbrellas, water bottles, and other branded freebies while speaking with the team about receivables automation and forecasting.
The lip balms became one of the most popular giveaway items this year, while the orange umbrellas once again stood out across ExCeL London.
The giveaways also helped spark hundreds of conversations around reducing late payments, improving forecasting visibility, and creating more predictable cash flow processes.
Two live speaker sessions on day one
Day one featured two live Chaser sessions focused on scalable receivables management, automation, and finance visibility.
FD case study session: 20 entities, one workflow
One of the key sessions explored how finance leaders can manage receivables across multiple entities without increasing workload or operational complexity.
On May 13th at the Case Study Stage Inga Schibsted, Partner Manager at Chaser, along with Ryan Steele, Senior Credit Controller at Streets UK, focused on how receivables across 20 entities can be managed through a single streamlined workflow, improving operational visibility while maintaining control at scale.
Attendees gained practical insights into:
• scaling receivables processes efficiently
• improving visibility across multiple entities
• reducing manual operational workload
• creating more consistent collections workflows
• balancing automation with customer relationships
The session generated strong engagement throughout the day, with many attendees continuing conversations afterward at the stand.
Chaser demo presentation
The second session took place at the Showcase Stage and provided a practical walkthrough of how receivables automation and forecasting help finance teams improve cash flow visibility and reduce manual chasing.
The presentation explored how finance teams are using:
• forecasting visibility
• receivables automation
• multi-channel follow-ups
• payment prediction tools
• streamlined collections workflows
to improve payment predictability and build more proactive finance operations. Missed the session? Book a personalized demo with the Chaser team here.
On the stand: receivables automation and forecasting
Throughout the two-day event, attendees visited stand 1020 to explore how automation and forecasting can help finance teams reduce manual workload and improve cash flow visibility.
Some of the most discussed areas included:
• automated payment reminders
• cash flow forecasting and receivables forecasting
• AI-powered payment predictions
• recommended chasing times
• centralized communication visibility
• scaling collections workflows across teams
There was particularly strong interest around forecasting capabilities and how finance teams can move away from reactive cash flow management toward more predictable financial planning.
Conversations across the accounting and finance community
Accountex London also created opportunities to reconnect with customers, partners, accountants, bookkeepers, finance managers, and credit control teams across the industry.
Many conversations centered around the same challenges:
• increasing operational workload
• inconsistent payment timelines
• limited visibility into future cash flow
• scaling receivables processes efficiently
• improving collections consistency without damaging customer relationships
A clear theme throughout the event was the growing demand for more proactive, technology-supported receivables management.
