Stepped into a new role and discovered a sales ledger full of surprises? Overdue invoices, unresolved queries and credit control processes that aren't working as they should. You didn't create the problems, but you're now responsible for resolving them. We work alongside finance leaders to get to the bottom of inherited aged debt, unlock working capital and strengthen credit control. Let's talk about what you've inherited.

Overdue invoices can put unnecessary pressure on working capital, even when your finance team is doing everything it can. Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of effort. It's unresolved queries, inefficient processes or simply not enough specialist resource. We work alongside finance teams to unlock cash tied up in the sales ledger, reduce debtor days and resolve the issues delaying payment. All without damaging valuable customer relationships. Let's talk about where your cashflow may be getting stuck.

Overdue invoices shouldn't be keeping you awake at night. When aged debt is rising and your finance team is stretched, finding the time and resource to resolve the problem isn't always easy. We help business leaders recover overdue invoices, resolve payment delays and release working capital tied up in the sales ledger.

Every sales ledger has a story, but sometimes it's the overdue invoices that tell you the most. You can see the working capital trapped in your ledger. Finding the time and specialist resource to release it is another matter. We help business leaders get to the bottom of what's holding up payment, recover overdue invoices and strengthen credit control for the long term.

Collecting overdue payments is only part of what we do. Our three-month interventions are designed to leave businesses in a stronger position than when we found them. We work alongside finance teams to resolve long-standing issues, strengthen credit control, improve processes and unlock cash that's been tied up in the sales ledger. It was a pleasure to work with James Pilling and the team at JEP Youth Engagement. Find out if we can help you: https://lnkd.in/eMZX7GSp

This week we met with the FD of a recruitment business. It is growing fast with a strong client base. However, beneath the surface, cashflow pressure is building quickly. The issue isn't profitability, but timing. Here's what we found: - Weekly payroll going out - Clients paying on 60 - 90 day terms - A sales ledger creeping further past due date every month - Operational costs increasing The finance team is spending a lot of time reacting - chasing overdue invoices, answering queries, dealing with pressure from funders and trying to forecast cashflow with incomplete information. The overall feeling is that they are working harder, but feel less in control. I hear versions of this in many businesses right now - particularly in recruitment, manufacturing and wholesale where operating costs are sky-rocketing. The problem usually isn’t a lack of effort from the finance team, it’s that collections processes, query resolution and credit control procedures haven’t evolved at the same pace as the business itself. The result: - debtor days increase, - working capital gets trapped, - reliance on invoice finance grows and finance teams become permanently stuck in firefighting mode. Often, relatively small operational improvements can unlock significant cashflow within 90 days. More often, it comes from fixing the friction points that quietly slow cash movement across the business. We would much rather help a business spot a problem early than wait until they need us to come in and fix it. If you’ve got a £1m+ sales ledger and more than 10% is sitting at 100+ days, we’ll happily come in, take a proper look at it and help you work out what needs to change. There’s no charge for the initial review and no obligation to do anything with us afterwards. If you can take the plan and sort it internally, great.
