What debtors management covers
Debtors management, also called accounts receivable management, means tracking and collecting money customers owe for goods or services bought on credit. Good debtors management supports cash flow, reduces reliance on overdrafts and short-term borrowing, and gives reliable receivables data for management accounts and forecasts.
- Sales ledger management of customer accounts and balances
- Customer invoicing on time and to agreed terms
- Credit control, from reminders through to escalation
- Collections by phone, email and statements
- Payment allocation, matching receipts to invoices
- Professional, relationship-friendly chasing
