Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can invoices be sent after work is completed?

We can typically send invoices within three business days of receiving the necessary information from you. For recurring services or standard project types, invoices can often be sent upon completion. Quick invoicing is important because the faster invoices are sent, the faster you get paid.

What happens with customers who consistently pay late?

We implement progressive collection procedures for late-paying customers while maintaining professionalism. This might include friendly reminders, more formal collection letters, implementing fees, and recommendations about credit terms for chronic late payers. You always maintain control over how aggressive you want collection efforts to be, and we'll discuss options for problematic accounts.

Can you handle both one-time and recurring invoices?

Yes, we manage all types of invoicing including one-time project invoices, recurring monthly service invoices, progress billing for long-term projects, milestone-based invoicing, and any other billing structures your business uses. Recurring invoices can be automated to go out on schedule without requiring your input each time.

How do you handle partial payments or payment discounts?

When customers make partial payments, we apply them according to your preferences (either to oldest invoices first or spread across open invoices). Early payment discounts are calculated and applied when customers pay within discount terms. All partial payments and adjustments are clearly documented in your accounting records.

What reports do you provide about accounts receivable?

We provide comprehensive receivables reporting including aging reports showing how long invoices have been outstanding, customer statements with complete transaction history, collection activity logs, cash forecast based on expected collections, and key metrics like average days to payment and collection rates. Custom reports can be created to meet your specific needs.
