Get paid sooner, chase less.

Invoices out on time, balances monitored and overdue accounts followed up, so cash comes in without the awkward conversations.

Steady cash flow, without the chasing.

Our accounts receivable service helps you maintain consistent cash flow through accurate invoicing and effective debtor management. We assist with raising invoices, monitoring outstanding balances and following up overdue accounts to help improve payment turnaround times.

At Lady Abacus, we provide structured and reliable support to help keep your cash flow healthy and your receivables under control.

Most late payments are not deliberate. Usually they trace back to an invoice that went out late, or a reminder that never got sent. A consistent process fixes most of it, and keeps the follow-ups professional rather than personal.

You might need this if

If any of these feel a little close to home, this is exactly the sort of thing we take off your plate.

Invoicing happens late

The work is finished but the invoice waits until you find a spare evening to raise it.

You are owed more than you would like

There are balances sitting on your debtor list that you know are well past their due date.

Chasing feels awkward

You would rather not be the person following up a client you genuinely enjoy working with.

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most about accounts receivable. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Will you contact my clients directly?

Only in the way you want us to. Some clients ask us to handle all reminders under their business name, others prefer we prepare them for their own sign-off. We agree the tone and approach before anything goes out.

How firm are the follow-ups?

Polite and professional. A first reminder is a nudge, not a demand. If an account becomes genuinely difficult, we will bring it back to you rather than escalating on our own.

Can you help clients pay faster?

Often, yes. Invoicing promptly, setting clear terms and sending consistent reminders usually makes a noticeable difference within a couple of cycles.

Can you handle payables too?

Yes. Many clients pair this with accounts payable so both sides of their cash flow run on the same rhythm.
