Invoices out on time, overdue ones chased properly.
Invoice preparation and billing administration, kept current and followed up when needed — so cash comes in on schedule without an awkward conversation your team has to have.
Billing that doesn't fall behind
Invoicing is simple until it's the tenth thing on someone's list — kept current on its own schedule, separate from everything else competing for attention.
Invoice preparation
Invoices prepared and issued on schedule from your time records or fixed-fee agreements, formatted the way your firm already does it.
Payment tracking
Paid and outstanding invoices tracked against due dates, so nothing sits unnoticed once it's past terms.
Polite payment chasing
Overdue invoices followed up with a clear, professional escalation sequence — so your accountants aren't the ones sending the awkward reminder.
Billing administration
Billing records kept current inside your practice management or accounting software, ready for month-end reporting.
Chasing your own client's payment is awkward
Nobody enjoys asking a client they see socially or advise closely for overdue payment. A clear, consistent chasing sequence run at arm's length gets invoices paid without putting that friction on the relationship.
Three steps to billing that stays current
Set up once against your existing fee structure and terms, then it runs on schedule.
Billing schedule agreed
Invoice timing, fee structure, and payment terms confirmed against your firm's existing billing cycle.
Invoices issued and tracked
Invoices prepared and sent on schedule, with payment status tracked against due dates.
Overdue accounts chased
A polite, staged follow-up sequence runs on anything past terms, with escalation to your team only if needed.
How do you politely chase an overdue invoice?
Start with a friendly reminder referencing the invoice number, amount, and original due date, then follow a staged escalation — a second reminder, then a direct call — while staying professional throughout.
What's a good process for following up on unpaid invoices?
A pre-defined sequence works best: a same-day acknowledgement of the invoice, a polite reminder shortly after the due date, then a firmer follow-up if it remains unpaid — kept consistent so it's never personal.
What should an invoice include for an accounting practice?
Invoice number, issue and due dates, a clear description of services provided, the amount due, and payment details — kept consistent across every client so reconciliation on your end is straightforward.
Why does invoicing often fall behind at busy accounting firms?
Billing competes with client deadlines for attention and usually loses, since it isn't time-sensitive in the same visible way. Treating it as its own scheduled task, rather than something done "when there's time," is what keeps it current.
