Leabridge Bookkeeping Client Case Study – TaxAssist

 

Client Profile
TaxAssist Accountants provide tax accountancy services and advice for small businesses in the UK, offering expert business advice and support, delivered by friendly local teams as part of a dynamic national network.

The Challenge
Even for an established business like TaxAssist, there are always improvement areas. It was on this basis that TaxAssist Chingford contacted me, as they required some specialist assistance with their credit control, which was causing some cashflow issues.

With over 20 years experience collecting for a Blue chip company and even an unsecured loans business, TaxAssist Chingford felt reassured that I was well placed to deliver.

The Solution
We set up an initial meeting in order to discuss the issues in detail and to decide the best way for me to collect their unpaid sales invoices, using their Sage software and database of contact information.

We decided that the best course of action was for me to attend on-site, contacting their clients (in line with GDPR best-practice) using a combination of telephone calls and emails, to pursue payment of the outstanding invoices.

The Results
Initially I attended TaxAssist Chingford premises on a fortnightly basis chasing the outstanding arrears and setting up payment plans by Direct Debit. As things improved and debtor days gradually reduced, this went down to once a month.

As an experienced and passionate bookkeeper, I revel in even the most tedious financial tasks, therefore it makes sense to hand over these areas to someone who does them, and does them well, because of that motivation.

Summary
TaxAssist Chingford were extremely grateful that their outstanding arrears have been significantly reduced and that they had made significant cashflow improvements in the process.

  • Outstanding arrears vastly reduced
  • Cashflow significantly improved
  • Successful in collecting ALL overdue fees

Don’t just take our word for it, hear from TaxAssist Chingford in their own words…
