Accounts receivable outsourcing is a smart way for you to test demand for this kind of service and, in the long-term, to deliver that service with minimal commitment on your own part.
Accounts receivable is about money owed by suppliers. Issuing invoices promptly is important, as is making sure those invoices are complete and accurate. It’s vital for managing and improving cash flow, avoiding conflicts with commercial partners and keeping your books tidy and up to date.
Larger businesses usually have their own accounts receivable teams dedicated to sending out invoices and processing incoming payments. Some, though, aren’t ready to commit to hiring extra staff, perhaps because they’re dealing with a temporary or seasonal surge in business.
That’s when they’ll look to you, their accountant, for help.
When it comes to outsourcing, we consider it our job to make you look good to your clients. We’re an invisible partner you can trust.
In addition, our accounts receivable outsourcing experts are highly experienced, use tried-and-tested processes and the up-to-date cloud-based software. That means you’ll get fast, efficient, perfectly compliant results every time, without sinking your own resources into the work.
Our accounts receivable outsourcing service team, managed from the UK, will take care of invoice issuing, incoming payment processing and payment reconciliations. If required, they can also undertake credit control activities, assertively chasing late payments on behalf of your clients.
I now have a practice that is growing steadily and have the ability to fit my work around the lifestyle I choose. With the expertise they have I am more confident in signing new clients in different industries and markets. My only regret is that I never implemented Diamond years ago.
