💬 And here’s something that came up in the comments from my last post — and it’s worth highlighting:
📊 A company shared an AR report showing invoices 30+ days past due…
📅 but those invoices had only been issued 8 days earlier.
👉 First question I would ask: were those invoices actually issued and sent on time?
🚫 That’s not a collections issue.
⚠️ That’s a process failure.
🧾 If your billing isn’t happening in real time, your AR isn’t real.
It may look like clients aren’t paying — 📉 but in reality, you’re working with the wrong information.
🔥 If your AR aging doesn’t reflect reality, you’re not managing receivables — you’re managing assumptions.
Assumptions don’t get paid. Process does.
