3 Reasons Why Accountants And CPA's Ought To Outsource Their Late-Paying Receivables To A Debt Collection Agency

Read More About Finance

Accounting firms and CPA’s afford much needed services to companies of all sizes. From small business owners, to major corporations, their proficiency cannot be underestimated, very during tax season.

As federal, state and local governments require organizations to maintain accurate and timely financial reports and statements, most organizations depend on accountants to prepare these reports.

Yet, while helping their business clients be more profitable, it’s very common for CPA’s to suffer cash flow problems of their own, with past due receivables from some of their delinquent business clients. This can especially be the case during the very busy tax filing season.

Below are three critical points to consider why accountants should turn over their unpaid receivables to a debt collection agency:

As an accountant, you’re acutely aware that money earned from services provided today drop in value with time if those monies go uncollected. In addition to spending valuable time, resources and additional staff going after unpaid receivables, it also means this vital time is taken away from acquiring new business.

To generate new business requires spending exponentially more in advertising and marketing, than it does to collect from your late and non-paying clients.

In addition to being in the recovery of delinquent receivables, debt collection agencies are better equipped with the professional staffing, resources, software and other equipment required, and they can do this much cheaper than can be done in your organization.

Grow Your Profit Margin Without Acquiring New Customers

As mentioned earlier, you recognize how expensive it is to acquire new customers. While advertising and marketing expenses are necessary for any company wanting to attract new clientele, more often than not, getting new business can seem like the only way to cover and/or grow already narrow profit margins.

Businesses should not overlook the tremendous value lying dormant in their uncollected debt. Be aware also that compared to the value of your outstanding receivables, you would have to nearly double your new business volume merely to break even.

Turning delinquent accounts over to a debt collection agency is far less expensive, and yields predictable, positive results. Monies recouped here will produce greater net profit to your accounting firm. Capital spent on marketing/advertising, while ignoring your past due receivables, is not spending smart capital.

A Great Value-Added Service For Your Business Clients

Businesses are always seeking ways to trim costs and save capital.. As their accountant, you can offer additional savings and help improve the cash flow to your customers’ business bottom line.

By impressing upon them the need to quickly turn over non-performing delinquent receivables after their internal efforts have proven unsuccessful, you can show them the cost savings in lost opportunity dollars, the depreciation of past due receivables over time, as well as the savings from the additional staffing, resources and time needed to continue to pursue bad debt internally.

This is especially the case if you are also experiencing improvements in your own firm's cash flow and operating efficiency.Showing your business clients how to further save capital and increase their business bottom line will put you in even better standing with them. It also makes you stand out from others in a very competitive market who similar accounting services.
