💰 Stop Guessing, Start Collecting

COLLECTIONS MATTER, BIG TIME RIGHT NOW
Small Businesses are strained, you don’t have to be

Let’s be honest…most businesses treat collections as an afterthought. They send the invoice and just hope it gets paid. But in today’s economy, hope is not a cash flow strategy. That’s why I created Collection Best Practices at Guernsey Consulting. Because small and mid-sized businesses can’t afford to leave money sitting out there uncollected, unmonitored, or unmanaged.

What I’ve learned from years of working with businesses is that the problem isn’t always effort, but structure. Teams are doing their best, but they’re reacting instead of leading. They need a roadmap. That’s exactly what this service delivers.

Here’s what we focus on to help get your receivables in shape…

• Proven collection techniques that improve how and when you follow up without damaging customer relationships.
• Structured A/R activity plans for daily, weekly, monthly, and annual cycles that fit your specific business and industry.
• Customized process development so your team isn’t guessing what comes next and they know what steps to take…every time.
• Useful reporting tools that give leadership visibility into what’s being collected, what’s overdue, and where help is needed at any given time.
• Communication cadence strategies so your customers hear from you at the right time, in the right tone, without dropping off the radar each month.

It’s not just about chasing invoices. This is about transforming how your business manages expectations, prioritizes cash, and reduces stress. You’ll stop wondering why payments are late and start seeing real improvements in how quickly cash hits your account.

Most businesses I work with don’t have a formal collections process which isn’t a surprise as Global Orgs I’ve been with fail here... They might send an email here and there or maybe make a call if something’s really late. But there’s no system and that’s like playing a sport without knowing the rules or the score. I help you build a playbook that works for you and your team.

I’M TAKING NEW CLIENTS
Do you need AR/Collections help?

Imagine if your collections team had a clear checklist every week. If your reporting dashboard showed exactly how much is outstanding, who’s behind, and what’s been resolved. If your customers were regularly hearing from your business…professionally and consistently. That’s what this service delivers and helps you align on.

This isn’t a plug-and-play template. It’s tailored to your business, your customers, and your internal team. Whether you’re working in QuickBooks, NetSuite, a large ERP or spreadsheets, we create a structure that’s simple, sustainable, and scalable.

Here’s what clients typically walk away with:
• A clear A/R collections calendar (daily to annual tasks).
• A team workflow that ensures no account gets forgotten.
• A communications guide for reaching customers in a professional and proactive way.
• Dashboards or reporting tools to track cash progress and risk areas.
• A major boost in cash inflow speed—typically within the first 30–60 days.

You don’t have to keep crossing your fingers each month, hoping invoices are paid. You also don’t need to become a collections agency. What you need is a real system, backed by experience, designed to reduce friction and improve results. That’s what Collection Best Practices is built to do and what I’m here to help you with.

If this sounds like what your business needs or you know someone dealing with aging A/R and cash flow problems, let’s talk!!! Whether you’re a business owner, CFO, controller, or bookkeeper, this service can unlock serious results and take a big weight off your shoulders.

Ready to help when you are!
