Best Practices for Managing Accounts Receivable: Get Paid On Time, Every Time


Accounts Receivable (AR) isn't just a ledger; it's the lifeblood of your cash flow. Effective AR management ensures timely payments, which impacts your ability to meet financial obligations. Here are some streamlined practices for efficient AR management.

Clear Credit Policies Start with transparent credit policies. Clearly define payment terms and late fees for your clients. This sets the groundwork for prompt payments.

Prompt Invoicing Quick invoicing can accelerate payments. Use accounting software to automate this process, something we specialize in at BRS CPA.

Accurate Record-Keeping Maintain precise records of transactions, invoices, and payments. The easier you can track what's owed, the easier it will be to follow up.

Regular Follow-Ups Don't wait for an overdue invoice to reach out. A few days before payment is due, send a reminder. This is where a responsive service like BRS CPA can make a difference.

Multiple Payment Options Make it convenient for clients by offering various payment methods like bank transfers or digital wallets.

Negotiate Payment Plans In cases of financial hardship, be flexible but formalize any new payment arrangements in writing.

Professional Help Engaging professional accounting services like BRS CPA can help you focus more on your core business, ensuring your AR management is in good hands.

Analyze and Adjust Regularly review your AR processes for possible improvements. Use these insights to tweak your policies accordingly.
