When a customer doesn't pay for a good or service at the time of transaction, your business expects to receive payment at some point in the future. Accounts receivable management is the business process of collecting outstanding payment from customers. Instead of manual invoicing or phone calls, an accounts receivable service uses automation to invoice customers, follow up on late payments and collect overdue accounts. Plus, a good accounts receivable service will keep documentation and records to help avoid payment disputes.
