Accounts Receivable Management for UK Businesses That Want Faster Payment
You have done the work and sent the invoice, but the money still has not arrived. ABM Chartered Accountants manages your accounts receivable so invoices go out on time, payments are tracked, and overdue balances are chased professionally.
Get Paid Faster With Proper Credit Control
Accounts receivable management covers everything between raising a sales invoice and receiving the payment. It includes sending invoices promptly, tracking what is owed, chasing overdue balances, reconciling customer accounts, and escalating persistent non-payers. ABM Chartered Accountants handles this entire process so your cash comes in faster and your debtor book stays under control.
Our ICAEW and ACCA qualified accountants raise your invoices, allocate incoming payments, run structured credit control procedures, produce aged debtor reports, and reconcile your customer accounts. We work on Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent to keep your receivables accurate and your cash flow healthy.
What Our Accounts Receivable Service Covers
From raising your invoices to chasing overdue balances, here is how ABM Chartered Accountants keeps your receivables moving and your cash flowing into your business.
Invoice Raising
Preparing and sending accurate sales invoices to your customers promptly after goods or services.
Credit Control
Chasing overdue invoices on your behalf with structured reminders and follow-up at every stage.
Payment Tracking
Matching incoming payments to invoices and flagging anything that is short-paid or unallocated.
Aged Debtor Reporting
Producing aged debtor reports so you always see what is owed, by whom, and how overdue it is.
Customer Reconciliation
Reconciling customer accounts regularly to resolve queries and keep your debtor ledger accurate.
Debt Recovery Support
Escalating persistent non-payers with formal demand letters and supporting further recovery steps.
Turn Outstanding Invoices Into Cash in the Bank
Every day an invoice goes unpaid is a day your cash is sitting in someone else’s account. Poor receivable management increases your debtor days, strains your cash flow, and forces you to fund your working capital from reserves or borrowing. ABM Chartered Accountants reduces your debtor days and gets your money in faster.
Consistent credit control also changes how your customers behave. When they know invoices are followed up promptly and professionally, they pay sooner. Over time, your debtor book shrinks, your cash conversion improves, and you spend less time worrying about who owes you what and for how long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the accounts receivable questions we hear most often. Contact our team for guidance.
What is accounts receivable management?
Accounts receivable management is the process of handling everything your customers owe you. It covers raising invoices, tracking payments, chasing overdue balances, reconciling customer accounts, and reporting on your total outstanding debtor position. ABM Chartered Accountants manages this end to end.
How does credit control work?
We run a structured credit control process with timed reminders before and after the due date. If an invoice is not paid on time, we follow up with calls, emails, and formal letters at each stage. ABM Chartered Accountants escalates professionally so your customer relationships are preserved.
What are debtor days and why do they matter?
Debtor days measure how long it takes on average for your customers to pay you. The higher the number, the longer your cash is tied up. Reducing debtor days means more cash in your account sooner, which improves your working capital and reduces your reliance on borrowing.
Can you raise invoices on our behalf?
Yes. We prepare and send your sales invoices directly to your customers using your branding and payment terms. Invoices are raised promptly after goods or services are delivered so there is no delay in starting the payment clock.
What happens with persistent non-payers?
For invoices that remain unpaid after multiple reminders, we escalate with a formal demand letter. If the debt is still not settled, ABM Chartered Accountants supports the next steps, whether that involves a payment plan, a statutory demand, or referral to a debt recovery specialist.
How much does accounts receivable management cost?
Fees depend on the number of invoices raised, the volume of customers, and the level of credit control required. We offer transparent, fixed monthly pricing with no hidden charges. Contact ABM Chartered Accountants for a quote based on your business.
