About Nupur Mittal
Nupur Mittal is a co-founder of OCTA, where she works day to day with CFOs, controllers, and accounting firm partners on the operational side of finance: cash application, collections, dispute resolution, and month-end close. Before founding OCTA, she spent years inside the payments and fintech ecosystem, watching finance teams lose working capital to processes that nobody had ever measured, which is the problem OCTA was started to fix. Her writing focuses on the real cost of manual finance work: what an unreconciled bank feed does to close timelines, what slow follow-ups do to DSO, and how teams move from spreadsheet-driven firefighting to automated, reviewable workflows without giving up control or auditability. She favors specifics over trends, so her guides tend to include the exact playbooks, cadences, and metrics that teams can apply the same week. Every piece she publishes on OCTA is grounded in patterns observed across the hundreds of businesses running their receivables on the platform. You can find her published guides and playbooks listed below.
