Domande Frequenti
What does DSO tell me?
DSO measures how long it takes, on average, to collect cash after a sale. Lower is better for working capital.
Is high DSO always bad?
Not necessarily. Long payment terms may be normal in B2B, or they can indicate weak collections, bad-debt exposure, or concentration in slow payers.
Disclaimer
This is a point-in-time estimate. Seasonality and rapid revenue growth can distort a single-period DSO.
