Credit and collections is one of the most difficult areas in a business to manage, since it requires you to support the sales department while also trying to isolate those customers who may not be able to pay their bills.
The Credit & Collection Guidebook shows you how to achieve a balance between more sales and a reasonable amount of bad debt by focusing on the design and management of the credit and collection functions. The discussion ranges from the structure of specific jobs to the full range of collection and litigation tactics that can be used to collect money from customers. The book also includes dozens of usage tips and relevant references to the author's popular Accounting Best Practices podcast.
The Credit & Collection Guidebook is your practical reference for setting up and managing a cost-effective and low-risk credit and collections department.
