Why Early Action in Q3 Matters

Do you or your clients usually wait until the end of the year to review receivables?

Waiting until Q4 to resolve receivables issues can severely limit collection options, especially as customers begin tightening their budgets or closing out their fiscal year. Addressing slow-paying accounts in Q3 can help ensure:

  • Better cash flow management.
  • Fewer write-offs or bad debt adjustments.
  • Improved year-end financial reporting.
  • Stronger relationships with reliable clients through clearer communication.

How to Identify Risk Early


Here’s what we recommend your clients watch for in their mid-year receivables review:

  • Accounts that are 60+ days past due with no recent payment activity
  • Customers who frequently delay or dispute invoices
  • Clients whose payment behavior has suddenly changed
  • Repeated broken payment promises or bounced checks

If they’re seeing any of the above, it’s time to take action.

Why Summer is the Season for Strategy

What are the advantages of reviewing receivables mid-year?

Unlike the chaotic year-end push or the busy post-holiday Q1, summer offers a natural lull in many industries. This makes it an ideal window for back-office evaluations—especially for accounts receivable.

Encourage your clients to use this quieter time to:

  • Analyze their accounts aging reports
  • Re-evaluate credit terms and payment behaviors
  • Pinpoint slow-paying or high-risk customers before they become delinquent

A mid-year review gives your clients a proactive advantage, allowing them to reinforce internal collection efforts or escalate accounts to a professional third party (like RSD) while there’s still time to improve outcomes before year-end.
