3 Significant Tips For CPA's And Accountants To Consider Debt Collection Agencies For Their Past Due Clients

CPA's and accounting firms offer very central and valuable services to all size companies. Small business owners, as well as major companies and corporations, depend on their skill and expertise. This is very true during tax season.

However, as they help improve their customers' financial bottom line, it's typical for many accounting firms to experience cash flow problems themselves, due to delinquent and unpaid accounts from some of these same business customers. This is especially so during the very busy tax season. That being the case, CPA's can greatly increase their cash flow by hiring outside collection agencies.

Here are three very central reasons accountants should outsource their past due receivables to a debt collection agency:

The Depreciation Of Money Over Time

As an accountant, you’re clearly aware that money earned from services provided today drop in value with time if those monies go uncollected.

Turning over delinquent, non-paying accounts to debt collection agencies is a sensible and economical business decision. Not only are they experts in the recovery of past due capital, collection agencies have the resources, equipment, staffing, and they can do it on an economy of scale that simply can’t be done internally in your company.

Remember that activities that take you away from your principal business functions, also take you away from generating revenue.

Increase Your Profit Margin Without Acquiring New Customers

As previously mentioned, you're aware how expensive it is to acquire new customers. Its common skill that spending for advertising and marketing is necessary for businesses to acquire new customers. However, many companies tend to see advertising as the only means to gain new customers and grow already narrow profit margins.

Often overlooked is the tremendous value lying dormant in your uncollected past due debt. It should also be mentioned that when taking in account your past due debt, you’d have to almost double your new business volume just to break even.

Turning delinquent receivables 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. Money spent on marketing/advertising, while ignoring your past due receivables, is not spending smart capital.

Adding Value For Your Business Client

Businesses are always looking for new ways to save capital and cut their costs.. As their accountant, you have the ability to educate your customers and show them additional ways to save, increase cash flow, thereby improving their financial 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 even truer, if you are also seeing an improvement in your own business’ efficiency and increase in your own cash flow.By showing organizations how to advance their financial bottom line and save money, you become a trusted advisor and consultant. This will increase your overall worth to your clients, and make you stand out in a very competitive market.
