Most small businesses are not short of money. They are short of collected money, and they find out too late which customers are the reason.
Receivables is the part of the ledger owners feel first and look at last. Invoices go out, some come back, and the difference gets noticed when the account balance does not cover a payroll run.
We raise invoices on your terms, send them, record what comes in, and keep an aging report current. The aging report is the deliverable that matters. It turns a vague sense that collections are slow into a specific list with names, amounts and days outstanding.
Any business that invoices rather than collects at the point of sale. Service firms, trades, wholesale operations, and anyone working with commercial customers who pay on terms rather than on receipt.
It matters more the more customers you have. Ten customers can be tracked in your head, badly. Sixty cannot, and the ones who quietly stretch to seventy-five days are never the ones you would have guessed.

Raised from your rate structure and sent when your terms say, not when someone remembers.

Applied to the specific invoice, including partials, so the balance is real.

Who is late, by how much, and how long, updated as part of the ongoing work.

Statements go out on the cadence you set. You decide how firm and how often.
We see this most often with commercial and trade clients around the Lake Houston area, where a customer paying on their own terms rather than yours is common enough to be treated as the default rather than the exception.
No. We prepare the aging, issue statements and reminders on the schedule you set, and give you a clear list of who to call. The conversation with your customer stays yours.
Yes, once the products and services are set up in the file with your rates. After that invoicing is repeatable rather than rebuilt each time.
They are applied against the specific invoice so the remaining balance stays visible. Partial payments dumped in as a lump sum are one of the most common reasons an aging report stops being trustworthy.
Deposits are reconciled against the processor's settlement record, so fees are recorded as fees and the revenue figure is the real one.
