Questions

Are you a collection agency?

No. We manage your own receivables on your behalf, in your company's name, so your GC relationships stay yours. Follow-ups are professional and courteous.

Do you file liens?

We track every notice and lien deadline and alert you well ahead of time. Whether to send a notice or file a lien is always your decision. We don't provide legal advice.

What accounting software do you work with?

QuickBooks Online connects directly. For Sage, Foundation, Viewpoint or others, a weekly aging export by email works fine.

Does my office manager lose their job?

No. We take the chasing off their plate so they can focus on billing, payroll and everything else they already carry.
