IRS accounts receivable trainers and consultants know how to prevent, reduce and liquidate the delinquent accounts that impact your bottom line.

What happens in your accounts receivable department affects your entire operation. The damage can be severe, especially if you are extending credit to increase sales revenues. Profit margins can be decimated from the cost of carrying outstanding delinquent accounts receivable.
In many cases the losses from outstanding accounts receivables accumulate. Companies who finance their accounts receivable usually get a wakeup call when their bank drops the asset value of their receivables. When this happens it is a clear warning sign that your receivables staff need training.
Training can put you back on track
Accounts receivable recovery percentages are dramatically reduced with time. Accounts receivable industry statistics clearly define the odds of getting paid in full as each month ticks by. Training your credit staff increases their efficiency, speeds up cash flow and reduces the delinquency percentage of your accounts receivable.
When banks, or other lenders, finance your accounts receivable they value your accounts according to age. Accounts 90+ days overdue are only worth an approximate 73% of the receivable face value to the lender financing your accounts receivable. If your accounts receivable has been devalued by your bank, it is a good indicator that you need to address the problem head on. In fact, many lenders will demand or suggest that your staff get training.

DSO, or Days Sales Outstanding is the one of the best ways to gauge the health of your accounts receivable. DSO is the average number of days that a company takes from billing to the day they actually get paid. Every industry has DSO benchmark ranges and for good reason.
If the average DSO is too high then your accounts receivable is definitely squeezing your profit margins. However, a DSO that is too low could be an indicator that your credit is too tight and you are losing business. Finding the right DSO range, or sweet spot, for maximum profitability is included with IRS training.
