End-of-month invoice chase routine
Money owed is easier to collect when you chase it on a schedule.
- List every unpaid invoice. Sort by age, oldest first.
- Send a friendly reminder. Include the invoice and a payment link.
- Call anything over 30 days. A short call works better than another message.
- Offer a payment plan if needed. Put it in writing with dates.
- Note repeat late payers. Ask for deposits on their next job.
Common questions
When should I stop work for non-payment?
Check your contract terms and verify with your attorney before doing so.
Should I charge late fees?
